Facilitating research cooperation through linking and sharing of heterogenous research artefacts

摘要: Researchers and other knowledge workers frequently produce use diverse research artefacts such as papers, data sets, experiment specifications, software, etc. In this, they are often faced with unclear relationships (e.g., which version of a software was in for particular paper), creating unnecessary work potentially errors. Semantic web technologies can provide metadata well explicit, specific links between the artefacts. However, acquisition perceived utility potential stumbling blocks adoption. Therefore, we propose system is focused on integrating augmenting existing (thus protecting investment), examine it using an interaction-oriented perspective, users without semantic experience. Specifically, first study requirements target group then present exploratory managing related to software-centric projects. The results confirm that sources common use, re-using repositories efficient more convenient, shorter cycle time), experimented aggregates functionally relevant. Furthermore, integration quality assurance mechanisms, continuous integration, beneficial, despite some added effort.
