Some details here about how and why the #GLAMWorkbench is including links to the ARDC's new Binder service to run Jupyter notebooks: https://updates.timsherratt.org/2023/08/31/run-glam-workbench.html #GLAM #researchInfrastructure #digitalHumanities

I've been playing around a lot with RO-Crate lately. It's a way of describing & packaging research data. Here's a post about how I've updated the #Trove Newspaper & Gazette Harvester to automatically document every harvest it creates using RO-Crate: https://updates.timsherratt.org/2023/08/31/some-important-updates.html #researchInfrastructure #rocrate #glam #digitalHumanities

Today I've been working on generating RO-Crate metadata for all the #GLAMWorkbench repositories. Down the track this means details of all the notebooks, datasets etc could be harvested into another platform. I'm also working on updating the #Trove Newspaper Harvester so that it describes each harvest you create using RO-Crate.

This is part of the work I'm doing for tha ARDC's HASS Community Data Lab. #researchInfrastructure #digitalHumanities

Yay! The ARDC's #BinderHub service is live! Researchers in Australian universities can now spin up #Jupyter repositories in locally-based virtual machines. https://ardc.edu.au/services/ardc-nectar-research-cloud/ardc-binderhub-service/ 🎉

I'll be adding buttons & links from the #GLAMWorkbench to use the ARDC Binder service – just waiting for a problem with Trove to be fixed by the NLA. #researchInfrastructure

ARDC are looking for a Skills Development Lead - (HASS and Indigenous Focus), full-time, 4 year contract, based in Adelaide. https://careers.adelaide.edu.au/cw/en/job/512473/ardc-skills-development-lead-research-infrastructure-and-platforms #job #digitalHumanities #researchInfrastructure

This afternoon, I will be speaking on #researchinfrastructure as a social norm in a panel at #ape2023 on "Innovation, technology and infrastructure"
with Nandita Quaderi (Clarivate) and Philipp Koellinger (VU/DeSci Labs), convened by @danielintheory.

Slides from all panelists will be shared later, for now, mine are here: https://tinyurl.com/ape2023-panel-kramer (some slides hidden to fit in 15 minutes :)

Excellent piece from @mikejones and @bestqualitycrab for @theconversationau covering the funding issue with #Trove at the National Library of Australia (who I don't think are on Mastodon).

Trove is an #API, which I've demo'd before at places like VALA, which makes the NLA's collections easily query-able.

Trove is #digitalinfrastructure for #digitalhumanities, #socialscience, #archives, #museums and other #GLAM activities.

And it's invisible. Which means it doesn't attract the funding or attention it deserves. Trove archives over 6 billion digital items. Items which speak to Australia's #CulturalHeritage.

If Trove were a supercomputer, it would be funded. If our digitalhumanities were as sexy as #STEM, Trove would be funded. But they're the same type of thing - digital #infrastructure that helps research. Trove is #ResearchInfrastructure. And we should fund it properly.

@rupdecat I agree. It "trickles up" also because we rarely see disabled students and researchers. The discussion about #accessible #repositories or #researchinfrastructure is very new.

The ACCESS-NRI (who I don't think are on Mastodon yet) have several open positions for #HPC #data #modelling #engineers in #Canberra #CBR, that are #female-only or enby identified. ACCESS-NRI is part of ANU.

Sure, money's not great, the but the super is great to get under your belt early, and you'd be working with super smart people, so a great upskilling role.
