What *IS* “success”?

It’s not always what you see

What is attribution???

Over 1000 authors

Project CRediT

Many contributions don’t lead to authorship

20% key personnel are not adequately profiled using publications

Some contributions are anonymous

Diverse outputs Diverse impacts

Diverse rolesEach a critical component of

the research process

EXAMPLE OUTPUTS related to software:

Outputs: binary redistribution package (installer), algorithm, data analytic software tool, analysis scripts, data cleaning, APIs, codebook (for content analysis), source code, software to make metadata for libraries archives and museums, data analytic software tool, source code, program codes (for modeling), commentary in code(thinking of open source-need to attribute code authors and commentator/enhancers/hackers, who can document what they did and why), computer language (a syntax to describe a set of operations or activities), software patch (set of changes to code to fix bugs, add features, etc.), digital workflow (automated sequence of programs, steps to an outcome), software library (non-stand alone code that can be incorporated into something larger), software application (computer code that accomplishes something)

Roles: catalog, design, develop, test, hacker, bug finder, software developer, software engineer, developer, programmer, system administrator, execute, document, software package maintainer, project manager, database administrator

VIVO-ISF: Suite of ontologies that integrates and extends community standards

Credit extends beyond the original contribution

Stacy creates mouse1

Kristi creates mouse2

Karen uses performs RNAseq analysis on mouse1 and mouse2 to generate dataset3, which she subsequently curates and analyzes

Karen writes publication pmid:12345 about the results of her analysis

Karen explicitly credits Stacy as an author but not Kristi.

Credit is connected

Credit to Stacy is asserted, but credit to Kristi can be inferred

Interoperability

A domain configurable suite of ontologies to enable interoperability across systems

A community of developers, tools, data providers, and end-users

Developing a computable research ecosystem

Research information is scattered amongst:Research networking toolsCitation databases (e.g., PubMED)Award databases (e.g., NIH Reporter)Curated archives (e.g., GenBank)Locked up in text (the research literature)

Map SciENcv data model to VIVO-ISF/openRIF

Identifiers for things that are not publications, or documents, need to get beyond thinking about DOIs
