Approach

• Academic Information Domain is multifaceted

• Approach taken here1. Picture a biology professor at his/her desk:– What are the most dominant issues on his screen/mobile?2. Picture a technology provider (e.g. library, company):– What are the aspects he/she has to consider?

>> presentatation limited to selected topics– Selection of „Top-Tech-Trends“ subjective– Maybe exemplary for only some orgs. or Germany/Europe

eResearch e.g. Research Data Mgmt.

• Researcher: Funders require data management plan e.g. DFG, NSF – How to define/model experimental data?– Where is reliable storage and computing?– What kind of tools and staff?

• Technologist: Provide data management and virtual research environments– Storage concepts? Cloud Computing? Repositories?– Data Scientist: Staff for data modelling and tool development

• Novel, closer cooperation models to be defined– Buzzwords: Data Models, Metadata, Repositories, VREs

eLearning e.g. Campus Mgmt.

• Researcher: Pretty stable domain but more structured curricula and standardized methods– How to „force“ content into curricular system?– How to organize exams?

• Technologist: Provide integrated campus management syst.– Relation AA, HRM, Library System, SAP, LMS, – Portal for PCs & mobile devices; Social Networks?– Campus-IT Manager: process management / support structures

• Integrated Portal for Learning, Teaching and Administration– Buzzwords: Campus Integration, Data Warehouse, AJAX, Portal

eAdministration e.g. Publication Mgmt.

• Researcher: Increasing obilgations to report publications WRT output (Scientometrics), proposals/ reports or OA-mandates– How to re-use my bibliographic information optimally?

– How do I expose my output optimally to the web?

– Green and Gold OA, PrePrint-Server

• Technologist: Provide integrated publ. mgmt. system– Relation AA, Research Information System, Repository, CMS

– Web-based systems for flexible presentation and publishing

– Scholarlyprocess management and supprort structures

• Integrated System for Publication Management– Buzzwords: CRIS, Scientometrics, Editorial/Publishing Systems

eInfrastructure e.g. Interoperability

• Researcher: Don‘t know what that is!?– Infractructure is optimally invisible

• Technologist: Guarantee re-use and sustainability– Take care of international connectivity /standards

– Provide exchange protocols and formats for syncs

– Prevent silos and (complex) access procedures

• Integrated System for Publication Management– Buzzwords: Cloud, RDF, Repository Pipelines, DDI, OAIS,

Web/Resource Oriented Architecture

Conclusion

• Academic domain increasingly complex– Ever more distributed and heterogeneous– Reporting obligations comparable to health system?– Usability, Interoperability and Integration are the main pillars of

strategy and development– Novel cooperation models between research and service

providers needed– Technologically interfacing, compliance to (lightweight)

standards, customizing, sustainability and support rather than buying large products from the shelf
