Big Digital Machine
Coalition for Networked InformationBaltimore, MDApril 13, 2010
David W. Lewis, Dean of the IUPUI University Library and Indiana University Assistant Vice President for Digital Scholarly Communication
Sandy Payette, Chief Executive Director, DuraSpace
Joel Thierstein, Associate Provost for Innovative Scholarly Communication at Rice University and Executive Director of Connexions
The Big Digital Machine (BDM) is the name for a concept that aggregates and integrates a set of capabilities to provide universities the ability to manage their scholarly output.
C12. Recapturing the Scholarly Record
Recommendation 12: Indiana University should pursue a position of leadership in the development (with partners) of new, sustainable models for scholarly publication, dissemination, and curation that enable scholars — and their collective communities — to re-assert control over rights to the scholarly record and its institutional preservation.
Wanted
1. Open source, community supported system or set of systems
2. Enterprise scale3. Generalized not specialized — useable
across multiple disciplinary applications4. Infrastructure that enables change and
provides the capacity to “bend the curve”
Observations
1. Many good systems already exist2. Not coordinated, but there is not yet much
overlap3. Most vertically integrated4. Good time to modularize the space —
define interfaces

“The level of interdependence found in a product is a function of the underlying technology’s maturity. In the early days of most products and services, the components need to be tightly woven together to maximize the functionality from an immature technology that is not yet good enough to satisfy customer needs… As products and their markets mature, technology grows more sophisticated, as do customers. They begin to understand their unique needs and to insist on customized products. Technological maturity makes customization possible. Product and service architectures become more modular in this environment.”

What’s next for the BDM
Complete demonstration projects
Define structure — Is BDM a Project or a Movement?
Establish robust funding for projects — Is BDM the United Way?
BDM provides the capacity to develop new, sustainable models for scholarly publication, dissemination, and curation that enable scholars — and their collective communities — to re-assert control over rights to the scholarly record and its institutional preservation.
Recapture the Scholarly Record
DuraSpace is committed to providing leadership and innovation in the development of open technologies that promote
durable, persistent access to digital data. We collaborate with academic, scientific, cultural, and technology communities in creating practical solutions to help ensure that current and
future generations have access to our collective digital heritage.

BDM Prototype #1Open Journal System (OJS) Integration
• BDM Use Case: Enable journal managers to deposit articles into DSpace and Fedora
• End-to-end journal publishing in open source– Publishing application (OJS)– Repository backend (DSpace, Fedora)– Replication supporting preservation (DuraCloud)
• Tech: Use of SWORD– extension of the Atom Publishing Protocol– web-based deposit of content into a repository

BDM Prototype #2Connexions Integration
• Use Case: provide institutions the ability to selectively archive Connexions content
• Connexions via “Lenses”– Educational content modules or collections– Aggregations as URLs available via RSS and Atom– Lenses as filter for what to archive
• Tech: replicate content to:– Institution repository (DSpace or Fedora) via SWORD– DuraCloud (cloud storage via APIs)– Both

System Integration Summits• DuraSpace hosted first open technologies
integration summit – London, Feb 2010• Support from BDM, JISC, CLIR• Reps from open source projects related to
scholarly communication and digital preservation• Topics
– web interoperability (e.g., SWORD); – workflow across web based systems– storage systems and storage abstractions under repositories– common platforms, tools and technologies
• Pledge to meet 2x/year F2F; 2x Virtual
