The publishing of open data is considered a key element for civic participation paving the way to the ‘public value’, a term which underpins the social contribution. A result of that can be seen through the popularity of data portals published all around the world by governments, public and private organizations. However, the diffusion of data portals raises concerns about discoverability and validity of these data sources, especially to what extent they contribute to open data and open science. The purpose of this work is to develop a framework to reveal open data publishing with the use of a freely available open science project called Common Crawl. The idea is to identify open data-related initiatives and to gather information about their availability, having in the framework’s essence an iterative and differential process. The main outcome is shown through a proposed model for the historical data repository which involves both use and creation of open science to branch new sort of research possibilities based on publishing of derived data.
which provides access to online content thereof (by digitizing paper or archiving electronic content of CD attached by author) and digital library for the blind (project Sound of pages) that disabled users have access to requested digitized works. Accessible http://alephnew.bibnat.ro: 8991/F; c) The Digital platform on Digitool system. It started in 2009. It is comprised of digital collections created by digitizing special collections of documents in the National Library of Romania, organized by themes or after events. Accessible at http://digitool.bibnat.ro/R. The databases have grown steadily and have become researching and learning tools for some categories of users. The systems provide open resources, learning and navigating tutorials and contribute to a creative society.
Scientific journals are the main form of recording and disseminating results of scientific research. After the advancement of digital media, their search, access, and navigation became easier and faster. This changes the way readers interact with the content. In this sense, the configuration of typography, an essential component of text-based publications, should facilitate the reading and understanding of the information presented. Thus, this research aimed to formalize an analysis process for the application of typography in papers on electronic scientific journals. Based on the literature review, an analysis structure was formulated. The analysis identified the fundamental principles of application of typography as: legibility, readability, spacing and font size and information hierarchy. Subsequently, four electronic papers from Brazilian scientific journals with different areas of knowledge were selected as objects of study. As a result, a potential application of typography for digital media was identified, but this potential is not fully explored by the editors of scientific journals nor by the literature dealing with the topic.
The paper discusses the current state of digitizing Islamic manuscript in Russia and the gradual building of the digital collection “Manuscripta Islamica Rossica”. It outlines some of the challenges and the benefits from providing digital access to these resources.
Since 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), European Union regulation, demands transparency from companies and imposes new restrictions on data transfers (Botchorishvili, 2017). The purpose of this article is to analyze the uses and representations of information and communication science students regarding the RGPD and to compare it with that of students in the education sciences. This article is in line with the research on the Privacy Paradox and brings new elements of explanation thanks to the confrontation between two populations of students. In this perspective, a questionnaire was sent out to information and communication students and education sciences students. 70 students provided answers to 32 questions. More than two-thirds of the respondents gave a correct definition of the GDPR. They also believed that personal data protection was a key matter. So much considered that individuals should know the reason behind data collection as well as its use. Information and Communication students are more numerous to be convinced than Education Sciences students that training individuals is necessary. Indeed, those studying information and communication are more prone, thanks to their curriculum, to understand the issues of personal data protection. Therefore, the students who a priori know the most are more aware of the need to improve their knowledge through training. In general students had a fairly comprehensive view of the risks when lacking data protection. However, students were very divided on data monetization : 15 believed it was legitimate while 23 had no opinion. Moreover, Information and Communication students are much more likely to think that monetizing data is legitimate (13 over 54) compared to 1 over 16 Education Science students.
