Quick Overview

Let’s look at a simple model of the SPoF

SPoF as Scholarly Artifact• “Computational Narrative” designed by and for humans and

machines• Data, Code, and Narrative are all first class outputs• As a compilation/compendium, SPOF fulfills all requirements

of the tradt’l scholarly record• Registration• Validation• Dissemination• Preservation

• Plus adds additional requirements needed for 21st Century research!

SPoF as FAIR Access

•Findable•Accessible• Interoperable•Reuseable

SPoF as Open Science

• Researchers create and use SPoFs across a wide range of contexts and audiences• Researchers (including one’s future self) expect SPoFs to:• Fully understand what was done• Reliably reproduce the work• Build upon the work to add new insights

• Research professionals need to collaborate on SPOFs efficiently, effectively, and with credit for their respective roles

SPoF as Digital Scholarship

• Computer used in most every step in research cycle•Outputs are multimodal and fluid, likely to change over time•Online, web infrastructure provides integral linkages• Structural map for objects within compendium• Associates Provenance and usage information with research outputs• Connects semantically-related research outputs

•Norms are in place in support of ethical authorship, credit, rights

Library & Institute Values to preserve in SPoF

Reconsider and Bolster Legal and Ethical Strategies

• Reviewing and extending Institute IP Policies

• Setting repository licenses to OPEN by default

• Leveraging community norms in support of FAIR principles; CODATA-Legal Interoperability principles for research data management; Code of Best Practices in Fair Use when rights between components misaligned

Build robust yet friendly and easy platforms and tools

Refocus Staffing and Training to support the entire research lifecycle

•Work in lean, flexible teams that combine expertise• Integrate non MLIS-professionals•Pursue non-library professional affiliations•Schedule all day, hands on training retreats• Introduce new incentives and opportunities for tooling up
