Presentation workshop, ideation, and workflow mapping
#NextGenBooks #4CultureCommunityPlenary
Organised by: Lambert Heller (Moderator) and Simon Worthington, TIB
Topics: Archives and collection publishing as open access; Linked Open Data, and open science practices; collaborative authoring and co-creation.
Duration: Three hours, 17 Nov. 2021, 3-6pm CET
Registration: https://t1p.de/registration-next-generation-books
A workshop to examine new types of books being made on, for example, art or architecture and their workflows — single source, computational, and collaborative: the technologies, levels of digitization, various types of data to be integrated, collaborative working practice, the motivations, current challenges, and learning from book history.
The workshop brings together different perspectives: collection management and curation, technology platforms, and book series publishers. A series of short presentations will be made about 'work-in-progress' productions, including:
-
Simon Worthington - ADA Semantic Publishing Pipeline (TIB) - Single source publishing for multi-format outputs.
-
Sascha Freyberg - Verum factum book series - Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (Berlin) and Ca' Foscari University (Venice).
-
Graham Larkin Curator of Early Illustrated Books, USA - Design for a digital interface optimized for the viewing of print albums, including extra-illustrated books.
-
Tobias Steiner, COPIM (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs) - UK, International.
The output of the workshop would be a mapping of workflow and tools issues for archives, collections, and scholars. This would be the first of a series of such workflow and tool mapping workshops.
A Miro Board will be used to collaboratively map the different workflows, to show key stages and related tool set options.
Workflows would be grouped in two types:
-
Collection curation and presentation - using complex digital objects - PIDs, LOD, or IIF, etc.; modern computational infrastructures; and Open Access IPR frameworks
-
Book series - where scholars are authoring related to collections.
Bio: Lambert Heller @Lambo is head of the Open Science Lab at TIB, the Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology, in Hannover. The Open Science Lab was founded in 2013 with Ina Blümel.
'The digital opening of science and culture depends on the continuous development of new tools and methods. The binding and open collaboration along real use cases with communities in science, culture and their infrastructures are crucial for us to transfer new methods and tools into practice.'

Task Area 4: TA4 Data Publication and Data Availability. ADA Semantic Publishing Pipeline (TIB) - Single source publishing for multi-format outputs.
Bio: Simon Worthington @mrchristian99 is a book liberationist. He is a member of the Open Science Lab at TIB, where he is a researcher in next generation book publishing. He builds open-source pipelines for single source rapid publishing and standards application. He studied Fine Art at the Slade School, UCL and CalArts, USA. He is the editor of Generation Research, an open science blog, as well as a member of the board of directors for FORCE11.
Presentation: ADA Semantic Publishing Pipeline - A presentation of the 'ADA Pipeline' an open-source multi-format book production pipeline and its application during the pandemic to produce 'public health' training materials with health professionals, as books and MOOCs. Over 100 healthcare professionals took part in book sprints to work on 11 book productions. Read more here in this blogpost (April 2020).
Verum factum book series - Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (Berlin) and Ca' Foscari University (Venice).
Bio: Sascha Freyberg. Doctoral candidate at Ruprecht-Karls University Heidelberg Research Fellow at Ca' Foscari Università Venezia in the ERC-project Early Modern Cosmology Editorial Manager for Verum Factum: Studies and Sources on Political Epistemology (EOA book series).
Presentation: Verum factum: Studies and Sources on Political Epistemology - a book series. This series is dedicated to the investigation how the different dimensions of knowledge relate to the political. This concerns the motivating as well as delimiting, its informing as well as corrupting consequences. It should bring into focus the collective and oriented character (telos) of knowledge production and science. The title quotes Giambattista Vico’s famous principle to emphasize the activity (praxis) from which knowledge emerges.
The series is open to format and genre diversity. It acknowledges different means and ways of inquiry and is open to monographs, collective volumes, republications, translations, dissertations, research reports, essays, pamphlets and even documentaries.
New formats and digital experimentation are welcome, as well as new ways of presenting the circulation of sources. The series will mainly publish in English, Italian and German, but is open to other languages if editorial arrangements can be made. It explicitly wants to encourage translation projects. All texts in this series will be available in a real open-access format (‘gold’). At the same time high quality standards in the reviewing and editorial processes are pursued.
The series is supported by the Edition Open Access (EOA) of the Max Planck Institute of the History of Science in Berlin.
Bio: Graham Larkin @bglarkin completed his Harvard doctoral dissertation — The Elusive Ouevre of Jacques Callot — a study of the origins of the catalogue raisonné in 17th and 18th century Europe. He was curator of European and American Art at the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa) from 2005 to 2011. Graham's activities cover aquasitions, exhibition design, teaching, digital humanities and more.
Presentation: Design for a digital interface optimized for the viewing of print albums, including extra-illustrated books.
Custom assemblages into codices of prints and/or drawings — be they early modern albums gathering the works of graphic masters, or extra-illustrated (grangerized) compilations piecing together countless thousands of mutually-illuminating images and texts — were once a common means of collecting and understanding works on paper. From the mid-17th through the late-19th century in Europe and beyond, albums were the best means of preserving and accessing ambitious print collections, and the discerning mise-en-oeuvre and mise-en-page constituted an eminently sociable display of learning, taste and wit.
Such compilations fell out of fashion more than a century ago, and most of the great print albums have been disassembled. But enough examples survive to give us a first-hand experience of this tradition. Modern cataloging systems effectively have no place for such works-within-works, which are consequently undervalued and little understood.

Presentation: COPIM is an international project supported by Research England's Development (RED) Fund, and Arcadia, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin. Following the principle of 'Scaling Small', the project is building not-for-profit community-owned, open infrastructures to enable open access book publishing to prosper. The project's Open Documentation site is available at: https://copim.pubpub.org/ The presentation will provide a brief overview of the COPIM project & consortium, with a particular focus on the project's Work Packages 5, 6, and 7.
- Under the name of Thoth, WP 5 is developing an Open Metadata and Dissemination System for Open Access books that implements truly open (CC0-licensed) and FAIR book metadata, and enables presses to efficiently manage their metadata creation and dissemination workflows.
- WP 6 works to explore and showcase existing open source platforms, tools, and workflows for experimental book publishing in the Humanities and Social Sciences. The WP is running experimental pilot cases with OA publishers (see the WP's blog posts for more details) to map out and document their publishing workflows, and has recently published two major Research and Scoping Reports on Exploring Experimental Publishing, and Strategies for Publishers and Authors to promote and foster interactions, remix and reuse with OA books.
- WP7 is looking into issues of archiving and preservation of OA books, and seeks to develop technical methods for effectively archiving complex digital research publications, while also compiling recommendations for best practice around legal and copyright issues that complicate effective archiving such complex digital research publications.
