The global scientific data infrastructures: the big data challenges
Thanos C.
The current data tsunami produced by the new advanced instruments and/or sensors and/or by running simulations and the progress of science is revolutionizing the way in which research is conducted and this poses new challenges to the existing e-infrastructures from both the data and the application sides. Science is becoming data-dominated and a new data-centric way of thinking, organizing and carrying out research activities is gaining ground which needs to be supported by a new type of e-infrastructure: the Scientific Data Infrastructure. Scientific Data Infrastructures can be defined as managed digital data-networked environments consisting of services and tools that support the full life cycle of data (capture, collection, curation, documentation, analysis, visualization, preservation, and publication) for the benefit of different communities of researchers involved in data-intensive activities. A Scientific Data Infrastructure should, thus, add the capacity of effectively and efficiently handling and publishing the current huge volumes of data to the computational capacity provided by the e-infrastructures. The next generation of scientific data infrastructures is facing two main challenges: i) to effectively and efficiently support data-intensive Science, and ii) to effectively and efficiently support multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary Science. In order to develop such data infrastructures several data, application, system, and organization/ policy challenges must be successfully tackled. The talk will address the main data challenges.Source: Scientific Data and Sustainable Development. 2nd International CODATA Conference, pp. A2–1, Stellenbosch, Cape Town, South, 24-27 October 2010

Introduction. DELOS Conference 2007 - Working Notes
Thanos C.
The DELOS conference this year takes over from the All-Tasks meeting, the annual appointment of the DELOS community where the scientific results achieved during the previous year are presented. This year, instead of the usual status reports from the various DELOS Tasks, we issued a Call for papers reporting the scientific achievements of the DELOS members during 2006. These "Working Notes" provide a good documentation of the DELOS activities during the last year. The idea is to produce from this volume a book published by a well known publisher. All the papers that have been submitted for the "Working Notes" will thus be reviewed by the DELOS Scientific Board acting as Programme Committee. This year we received 37 papers which represent a good coverage of the 27 scientific DELOS Tasks. In addition, we have two invited papers: "Semantic Digital Libraries (John Mylopoulos) and "Digital Libraries: From proposals to projects to systems to theory to curricula" (Edward Fox). The Conference is open to the larger Digital Library Community not only to the DELOS community. We have 114 registrations, half of which are not from DELOS members. This indicates an increasing interest in the DELOS research activities and the important role that DELOS plays in the European Digital Library scene. The Conference is surrounded by several satellite events. A number of meetings of the DELOS virtual clusters have been organized in order to promote the integration among the DELOS research teams In addition, a workshop on Ontology-driven Interoperability has been jointly organized by DELOS and the MultiMatch project. In conclusion we should like to thank all the contributors and the participants as their active involvement in the Conference has greatly contributed to its success. Particular thanks are due to Francesca Borri for her untiring and intelligent editorial work. Finally, let me wish all the participants a pleasant stay in Tirrenia and a fruitful Conference.

Introduction. Second DELOS Conference - Working Notes
Thanos C.
After four years of activity, the DELOS Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries, supported by the European Union under the Sixth Framework Programme, has reached the end of its funded lifetime. One of the aims of this third DELOS conference will be to try to summarise some of the main achievements of DELOS in this period. However, the activities of DELOS actually started many years ago, first with the DELOS Working Group at the end of the nineties, and then through the DELOS Thematic Network, under the Fifth Framework Programme, from 2001 to 2003. Over these years, the objective of DELOS has been to fill the gap between current Digital Library practice and the needs of modern information provision. The goal has been to foster the development of technology that will eventually overcome the current restrictions of today's information systems. We are proud to say that DELOS has been able to play a significant role in o the formation of an active European Digital Library research community. o the formulation of a vision for the future of the field. o fostering collaborative research in the direction of this vision. Since 2000, the DELOS community has provided significant contributions to many key components of digital libraries. This is evidenced by the vast volume of scientific papers (more than 500) produced by the DELOS community and by the number of projects and applications in which members of DELOS have provided or are providing a contribution. As important examples, we can cite the Digital Library Reference Model and the DELOS Digital Library Management System both presented in this volume. These online Proceedings contain 33 scientific papers, which provide a good documentation of DELOS activities during the current year. In addition, three invited talks from key players in the field were given: "Technical Computing at Microsoft Research" (Fabrizio Gagliardi) "Ontologybased information access" (Maurizio Lenzerini), and "Interoperable Information Space - moving towards the European Digital Library" (Stefan Gradmann). The Conference is open to the wider Digital Library Community and indeed we have a significant participation of non DELOS members, indicating the important role that DELOS plays in the European Digital Library scene. It will provides participants with the opportunity to discuss their research activities and results and to exchange information and working experiences. In conclusion let me wish all the participants a pleasant stay in Tirrenia and a fruitful Conference. Costantino Thanos

DELOS - D10.1.3 - Annual Scientific Report - Year 3
Thanos C.
The DELOS Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries (www.delos.info) has initiated a long journey towards filling the gap between current Digital Library practice and the needs of modern information provision. Its goal is to foster the development of technology that will eventually overcome the restrictions of today's systems and empower everyone to further advance their knowledge, session, and role in society. Ultimately, DELOS envisions systems with no logical conceptual, physical, temporal, or personal borders or barriers on information. The DELOS vision is that Digital Libraries will become the universal knowledge repositories and communication conduits for the future, common vehicles by which everyone will access, analyze, evaluate, enhance, and exchange all forms of information. They will be indispensable tools in the daily personal and professional lives of people. They will be accessible at any time and from anywhere, and will offer a friendly, multimodal, efficient, and effective interaction and exploration environment. Clearly, any effort towards this vision requires significant change in the Digital Library development strategies of the past, with respect to functionality, operational environment, and other aspects. The DELOS Network of Excellence aims at advancing the state of the art in the field so that a first version of the vision may become reality by the end of the decade. It focuses on key instances of the above features and promises to deliver novel technology and robust prototype demonstrators that will be characterized by them.Source: Project report, DELOS, Deliverable D10.1.3, 2007

A vision for global research data infrastructures
Thanos C.
New high-throughput scientific instruments, telescopes, satellites, accelerators, supercomputers, sensor networks, and running simulations are generating massive amounts of data. In order to be able to exploit these huge volumes of data, a new type of e-infrastructure, the Global Research Data Infrastructure (GRDI), must be developed for harnessing the accumulating data and knowledge produced by the communities of research. This paper identifies the main challenges faced by the future GRDIs, defines a conceptual framework for GRDIs based on the ecosystem metaphor, describes a core set of functionality that these GRDIs must provide, and gives a set of recommendations for building the future GRDIs.Source: Data science journal 12 (2013): 71–90. doi:10.2481/dsj.12-043

Mediation: The technological foundation of modern science
Thanos C.
Modern science is increasingly data-intensive, multidisciplinary, and network-centric. There is an emerging consensus among the members of the academic research community that the practices of this new science paradigm should be congruent with "open science". This entails that the bonanza of research data, the wide availability of algorithms, data tools, and data services produced by the members of the research community must be discoverable, understandable, and usable by overcoming all kinds of heterogeneity and logical inconsistencies. The main concept for coping with the many dimensions of heterogeneity and logical inconsistency is mediation. Mediation is achieved by mediators or brokers. These are software modules that exploit encoded knowledge about certain datasets, data services, and user needs in order to implement an intermediary service. A mediating environment is an environment that provides a core set of intermediary services. Mediation should be a distinct functionality of future research data infrastructures. This paper surveys the different levels of interoperability, i.e., exchangeability, compatibility, and usability, their properties and relationships, mediation concepts, functions, and intermediary services. The current interoperability landscape is also illustrated. Finally, the paper advocates the need for mediating environments to be supported by future research data infrastructures and envisions that one of the most important features of future research data infrastructures will be mediation software.Source: Data science journal 13 (2014): 88–105.

The future of digital scholarship
Thanos C.
This paper advocates that connectivity is the technological foundation of digital scholarship and argues that the characteristics of modern science, i.e. data-centric, multidisciplinary, open, network-centric and heavily dependent on internet technologies entail the creation of a linked, semantically enhanced scholarly record composed of interconnected discipline-specific literature and scientific, social, and humanities data spaces. The changing scenario of the scholarly record is illustrated by describing the principal transformations now being enabled by advanced linking and semantic technologies. The main functionality of a cyberscholarship infrastructure is described, i.e. the ability to effectively and efficiently support a linking environment. (C) 2014 The Authors.

Scientific Data Reusability: Concepts, Impediments and Enabling Technologies
Thanos C.
High-­throughput scientific instruments are generating massive amounts of data. Today one of the main challenges faced by researchers is to make the best use of the world's growing wealth of data. Data (re)usability is becoming a distinct characteristic of modern scientific practice, as it allows reanalysis of evidence, reproduction and verification of results, minimizing duplication of effort, and building on the work of others. The paper addresses the technological dimension of data reusability: the scientific data universe, the impediments of data (re)reuse; the data publication process as a bridge between data author and user and the relevant technologies enabling this process.Source: Digital Presentation and Preservation of Cultural and Scientific Heritage International Conference, Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, 28-30/09/2015

A vision for open cyber-scholarly infrastructures
Thanos C.
The characteristics of modern science, i.e., data-intensive, multidisciplinary, open, and heavily dependent on Internet technologies, entail the creation of a linked scholarly record that is online and open. Instrumental in making this vision happen is the development of the next generation of Open Cyber-Scholarly Infrastructures (OCIs), i.e., enablers of an open, evolvable, and extensible scholarly ecosystem. The paper delineates the evolving scenario of the modern scholarly record and describes the functionality of future OCIs as well as the radical changes in scholarly practices including new reading, learning, and information-seeking practices enabled by OCIs.Source: Publications 4 (2016). doi:10.3390/publications4020013

Research data reusability: conceptual foundations, barriers and enabling technologies
Thanos C.
High-throughput scientific instruments are generating massive amounts of data. Today, one of the main challenges faced by researchers is to make the best use of the world's growing wealth of data. Data (re)usability is becoming a distinct characteristic of modern scientific practice. By data (re)usability, we mean the ease of using data for legitimate scientific research by one or more communities of research (consumer communities) that is produced by other communities of research (producer communities). Data (re)usability allows the reanalysis of evidence, reproduction and verification of results, minimizing duplication of effort, and building on the work of others. It has four main dimensions: policy, legal, economic and technological. The paper addresses the technological dimension of data reusability. The conceptual foundations of data reuse as well as the barriers that hamper data reuse are presented and discussed. The data publication process is proposed as a bridge between the data author and user and the relevant technologies enabling this process are presented.Source: Publications 5 (2017). doi:10.3390/publications5010002
