Web Syndication Approaches for Sharing Primary Data in "Small Science" Domains

Abstract

In some areas of science, sophisticated web services and semantics underlie "cyberinfrastructure". However, in "small science" domains, especially

The Digital Index of North American Archaeology: networking government data to navigate an uncertain future for the past

“…These initiatives complement so-called ‘open-science’ and other ‘open-data’ efforts with broad goals of promoting greater ‘democratic accountability’ to research and public policy through broader public access to information (Kansa 2012; Lake 2012). Appropriate investments in data management can help this information achieve its potential by making it accessible and usable (Kansa & Bissell 2010; Kansa & Kansa 2011, 2013; Kansa et al 2014; Kintigh et al 2014a & b; Raviele 2014; Wells et al 2014; Anderson 2018). Indeed, as is discussed later in this article, recent political upheavals in the USA further highlight the importance of public policy in shaping access to scientific data.…”

Openness and archaeology's information ecosystem

“…Web-oriented systems accommodate interactions not just with human users, but with machine software agents, permitting extensibility. Much of our work with Open Context has focused on Web-centric technical methods to promote such extensibility (Kansa and Bissell 2010;Kansa and Kansa 2011). Similarly, Linked Open Data (see Isaksen et al 2009) methods have great potential to both promote interoperability and maintain the decentralization needed to welcome innovative new entrants to the ecosystem.…”

Architecture of a Collaborative Business Intelligence Environment based on an Ontology Repository and Distributed Data Services

“…Moreover, some organizations have developed protocols and services for managing and dynamically querying tabular data. This is provided by Google with GData, Microsoft with OData and Yahoo with DataRSS (Kansa and Bissell, 2010). Thus, these XML based standards are emerging associated with cloud computing initiatives.…”
