In case you missed the Renku 2.0 Launch Webinar, here is the recording: https://youtu.be/xYFzysHInVc

Renku 2.0 has launched! The new release was rolled out this week and replaced the "legacy" platform. This is a major milestone and represents ~18 months of work - a huge effort by the whole team! We're excited to see how our users leverage this new modular design - check it out at https://renkulab.io! Join us tomorrow for the launch webinar to learn more.

The day is almost here! We'll be launching our rebuilt, reimagined and reinterpreted collaborative data science platform Renku 2.0 in less than two weeks! Join the webinar to learn more: https://blog.renkulab.io/renku-2-launch/

Renku 2.0 is quickly taking shape - we are just one build cycle away from full public release! You can use it already in "early access" mode - check out our blog-post for details: https://blog.renkulab.io/early-access/

After more general inquiries into the topic of #metadata, this week on ShareTIGR (https://sharetigr.usi.ch/en/news/feeds/38844) we more concretely comment on the in-built metadata scheme of the Language repository of Switzerland LaRS @ SWISSUbase, where we intend to deposit the #TIGRcorpus. LaRS provides fields to describe data at study, dataset and file level. We found many useful categories, struggled to classify transcripts as either 'Texts' or 'Annotations' and observed the lack of categories concerning individual study participants and de-identification measures.

This week on the ShareTIGR lab blog (https://sharetigr.usi.ch/en/news/feeds/38589): Why #metadata is important for FAIR data sharing and reuse? Metadata is an important topic in data management. In this post, Nina Profazi reflects on the relevance of descriptive, technical and administrative metadata for interactional linguistics. Later, we will discuss the specific choices to be made at this regard for our conversational data on the LaRS repository. #openscience #openresearchdata #opendata #spokenlanguage #corpuslinguistics #interactionallinguistics

Dame Janet Thornton, former Director of European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI, talked about SIB’s impact during her interview after her keynote speech at #SIBdays24, the Swiss bioinformatics summit.

In less than a week, we will have our 2024 Renku users meeting in Bern - we'll talk all things collaborative data science, explain the new direction the #renkuplatform is taking and hear from a few users that leverage Renku for their work. There will also be time to discuss issues around collaborative open research with other like-minded folks. More info here: https://blog.renkulab.io/users-meeting-2024

In this week's ShareTIGR post and the associated silent video (https://sharetigr.usi.ch/en/news/feeds/37889), we present our firstPython script ever, which we wrote to process transcripts exported from the multimedia annotator ELAN. Its task is to "filter" timecode stamps to reduce their number. This is one of several steps to produce .txt transcripts that contain a maximum of information while still being readable to the human eye. #openresearchdata #openscience #EMCA #interactionallinguistics @dh @corpuslinguistics @linguistics

In this week's ShareTIGR post (https://sharetigr.usi.ch/en/news/feeds/38066) and in the associated video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ileqblg23_o) we talk about timecode in ELAN and ask what to do with it when exporting a transcript as simple text.

Nella gestione dei dati il problema dell'#interoperabilità si pone a vari livelli. In questo mese su ShareTIGR rifletteremo sul formato delle trascrizioni eseguite manualmente ascoltando conversazioni audio- e videoregistrate.
Morfologia delle trascrizioni, parte I: leggibili in che modo? https://sharetigr.usi.ch/it/news/feeds/38046
Una #trascrizione prodotta mediante un annotatore multimediale - come ELAN, che abbiamo usato nel progetto InfinIta - contiene del codice informatico che ha bisogno di software specializzato per essere visualizzato e interpretato correttamente. Quando si trasmettono le proprie trascrizioni ad altri/e studiosi/e, conviene perciò chiedersi: Quali applicazioni useranno i/le futuri/e utenti? Quelle applicazioni sapranno leggere i documenti creati dal nostro programma di trascrizione?

Exploring LaRS @ SWISSUbase : https://lnkd.in/e6YKynrx. The Language Repository of Switzerland LaRS offers a specific file and #metadata structure for the studies deposited on the platform. In the sixth post of the ShareTIGR lab blog, we look into the details of this structure and into their implications for the searchability and findability of the #data records stored on the repository. #dh #fairdata #openresearchdata

Dall'evento al dataset: https://sharetigr.usi.ch/en/news/feeds/37851
Each event of the #TIGRcorpus includes various kinds of documents: A/V recordings, technical notes, various kinds of transcripts and an edited video. We present them and ask if they are primary or secondary data

The team of InfiniIta (https://data.snf.ch/grants/grant/192771) just started a one year spin-off to share the #TIGRcorpus of spoken Italian as #FAIR #openresearchdata. A special welcome to Nina Profazi, who will be helping us with that for the first 8 months. While we will process and describe the data, we will reflect upon this experience in a weekly lab blog. Here's the kick-off post! https://sharetigr.usi.ch/en/news/feeds/37644

In summary, the development and application of explicit knowledge representations is becoming a core scientific activity. More investment in this activity is required if we are to achieve the promise of open science, big data, and AI! #BigData #AI #OpenScience #OpenResearchData

Introducing our new project, “Strengthening ORD competences in the Applied Sciences: Open Educational Resources for Swiss-AL”, funded by swissuniversities

Researchers need training materials for Open Research Data platforms to use FAIR data effectively. Therefore, we will create open educational resources for our language data platform, Swiss-AL, including:

Explanatory Videos
Testimonials
Screencasts
Hands-On Exercises

Stay tuned!
