I'm looking to volunteer to do some #DataRescue . I have some #Python proficiencies and experience with this during Trump 1.0, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine (#SUCHO).

But are there any #digitalrepositories organizing anything right now? This needs to be a collective effort.

💣 Exciting news!

We're partnering with the University of Cambridge to integrate #DSpace repositories and OpenAlex. This project, supported by VietschFound, will enhance open scholarly information, streamline workflows, and improve data quality in institutional repositories.

We are always at the forefront of DSpace #innovation to support institutions all around the world.

While I appreciate the goals, I'm trying to understand how much it makes sense for Open Context (we're not a preservation repository, we're a publisher that puts data into other repositories). Afterall, 3000 EU is not a trivial sum of money.

Also, there's this thoughtful paper that seems pretty skeptical: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06712v1
