SSRN-Copyfraud by Jason Mazzone - http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3...
Copyfraud is everywhere. False copyright notices appear on modern reprints of Shakespeare's plays, Beethoven's piano scores, greeting card versions of Monet's Water Lilies, and even the U.S. Constitution. Archives claim blanket copyright in everything in their collections. Vendors of microfilmed versions of historical newspapers assert copyright ownership. These false copyright claims, which are often accompanied by threatened litigation for reproducing a work without the owner's permission, result in users seeking licenses and paying fees to reproduce works that are free for everyone to use.

"Via web application software, data citation standards, and statistical methods, the Dataverse Network project increases scholarly recognition and distributed control for authors, journals, archives, teachers, and others who produce or organize data; facilitates data access and analysis for researchers and students; and ensures long-term preservation whether or not the data are in the public domain."

More of a checksum though (just thinking lots of very nig data sets coming)? And wouldn't it be better to piggyback on a DOI at least (e.g., http://DOI_stem/your_extension)?

Regarding DOIs: any connection here to the STD-DOI project for archiving primary datasets and assigning DOIs to them to make them citable? Example dataset citation: Kamm,H; Machon, L; Donner, S (2004): Gas Chromatography (KTB Field Lab), GFZ Potsdam. doi:10.1594/GFZ/ICDP/KTB/ktb-geoch-gaschr-p (from http://www.std-doi.de)

Absolutely I'm campaiging for it myself (not this specifically though I was very pleased to stumble on it) -- just gave this (http://tinyurl.com/nvyb57) talk at ISMB on Thursday (just the last couple of slides are the relevant ones). So I'm all for it and liked the mention of standards, just that DOIs are so close to being widely-enough used already that it seems a shame not to build on that.

Meeting peopl efrom the British Library on Monday to talk about this very kind of thing and amongst the (MI) standards people and at www.rin.ac.uk we've been talking about it quite a bit -- the principle more than the exact mechanism, which for easy-bridging reasons seems to make sense as a kind of vestigial journal as a vehicle...

@ Mummi, good lord that's rather interesting isn't it -- no relation to me at all no. The BL group I'm meeting also have a guy that's a big DOI advocate and his talk mentions some kind of euro registry? http://tinyurl.com/mkuhvq slides 6+ (DOIs) and 12+ (JRA)

@Chris, sorry my bad, I was being unclear which didn't help! I meant to say earlier whether there was any relation between the Dataverse thing and the German (based/funded..?) international TIB project.
- 'Mummi' Thorisson
@Chris Thanks for the PDF, very helpful to know about this JRA initiative which I don't know yet if is an extension/expansion of the TIB thing, or modelled after it. Will read property around this in PDF + elsewhere ! BTW I'm tangentially interested in this topic, from the perspective of genome-wide association study datasets and ways to archive them and cite them.
- 'Mummi' Thorisson
Okay. I'll try to give a bit more info about the JRA thing once I have it. Incidentally, on association studies (QTLs too?) I ought to mention one of the projects we have registered at MIBBI for reporting QTLs and association studies: http://mibbi.org/index...

Dear Bloglines, get your shit together pronto or I'm switching to another reader. Love, me.
suelibrarian, John Dupuis, Jean-Claude Bradley and Euan liked this
You should just use Google Reader ;-)
- Benjamin Tseng
i switched to google reader 2-3 years ago. i don't know how much bloglines has advanced since then, but at the time, gr was a gazillion times better.
- Joe Dunckley
Bill - I switched from Bloglines to Google Reader a long time back and I really like it a lot more
- Jean-Claude Bradley
GReader is my first port of call every morning. But if you're averse to it for some reason, there are alternatives, including Firefox addons. I believe Feedly is quite popular.
- Neil Saunders
I also changed from Bloglines to Google Reader years ago, and I haven't looked back :)
- Lars Juhl Jensen
I'm on Bloglines with Bill. I know for a fact that GR is a billion times better - unfortunately it also looks way to web 2.0y for me - it feels wrong for simple feed reading! Bloglines is clean and simple in comparison.
- Euan
Bloglines did what it always does, de-glitched after about ten minutes, in time to prevent my little tantrum from getting serious. :-) I do use GR -- I use it to "archive" FriendFeed likes, comments and Refs Wanted items! Like Euan, I just don't like the GR interface. Logic dictates a switch but -- I just don't wanna.
- Bill Hooker
I'm another one who's tried GR but stuck with Bloglines. (I've tried GR several times, mostly when Bloglines is having one of its little tantrums--but always been more comfortable back in Bloglines. There's also the "too much Google, not a good thing" feeling.)
- Walt Crawford
Bill, I've used both Google Reader and Feedly. Google Reader works in any browser; Feedly, if I'm not mistaken, works only in Firefox as its a plug-in. However, both make it far easier to read RSS content online than Bloglines.
- Jill O'Neill
Last time I looked at Bloglines I couldn't understand it, in the same way that I can't understand MySpace or the menu at KFC: my brain just seems to be lacking a vital file conversion program or something.
- Deborah Fitchett
I use RSS wizz in firefox. Simple and effective. Maybe a little resource heavy though.

Ever since I deleted a single entry, my blog feed will not update. In order to get a new entry to show up here, I have to delete the blog and re-import it. Is there a WTF/bug report room?
can't you manually refresh it? how long did you wait for it to update?
- Michael Kuhn
Manual refresh doesn't work, and I waited two days.

is there like a template that isn't published or a random inserted code?

You mean on my side, or on the FF side? It's bog standard Movable Type/xml on my side.

He brings an understanding of scientific collaboration from both sides: as a social scientist studying scientific behavior, and as a participant in the production of scientific knowledge. For ten years prior to joining OII, he was the national (USA) data manager and a researcher working within a large scientific collaboration spanning twelve universities studying the genetic causes of mental health disorders. Meyer earned his PhD in Information Science from Indiana University in 2007.
