So I would ask, well I will read the question and I would ask some of our experts, maybe Paolo, to reply to this question. First question is, does open air envisage to sell its services or will they be free forever? Okay, can you hear me? Yes, yes. So good afternoon everybody, thanks for the question. Yeah, sorry, Paolo is the technical coordinator of open air, that's why he is the best person to reply to this question. Okay, so the idea is the following, of course every service we provide, well every service in the world of open science has a cost, has a price, and somebody has to pay for it. And of course the person who was supposed to pay for it are not the researchers. So we have, we are all taxpayers basically, so we should find a sustainable way to keep the services going on forever, and for a very low price. So the idea is not to be on the market to gain money, of course, but to be on the market to provide the service, as any public service would do. So the services will have a price, but this will not be visible to the researchers of course. So the idea, for example, is to have the member states to provide fees, to have access to their services, or to very specific actors in the range of open air to pay for such services. For example, institutions, if they need, for example, specific monitoring of their outcome or funders, that's the other option that we have. Or at the end of the line also research infrastructures, which are today willing to monitor their activities in terms of scientific production. The idea is to put a price that of course will cover for the operational cost. So in principle, the more we are the less we pay, that's the, of course we proportion to scalability and all these other things. But yeah, that's the idea below. Thanks Paolo. If you have any, if some of the participants have any other comments on this, please don't hesitate to ask. Okay, I'm going to the second question. When are the new research data items from data repositories will open air make a distinction from curated datasets from non-curated ones? I think this is another question from Paolo. And I think this is a question originating from the Q&A session yesterday. Yes, it's a very good question. This is something that we would like to do, of course, but it's today is not really possible. So unless we're going to have, there are initiatives in that direction that are willing somehow to certify the quality of repositories and to make the certification or degree of certification available through registries. And these are very interesting initiatives that are going on. But as far as I know, they're not really mature. So there's nothing that today can officially, and with an authority as an authority, let us express an opinion on the quality of the repositories. What we can do is on the other side make sure the metadata is reaching off. And this is why we have the guidelines, the open air guidelines. The open air guidelines are supposed to align and make sure that participating repositories are somehow compliant to some minimal level of quality. Although even this is quite hard. And frankly, it's really hard for us to say this repository does it better than another. So it's an open issue. Today we're not making such a difference. But this may be well the case in the future, as we hope. Excellent. That was a tricky one. Okay, so I just went in the wrong direction. Next question is a bit long. So are project officers supposed to use open air and the participant portal to check the availability of publications? And are you in contact with project officers to inform them and train them on these matters? Emily, I see you are among the participants. Would you like to say something on this? Okay, I will try to reply to this question. Well, yeah, yeah. Okay, so please go on. Thanks. So in open air we contact rise in 2020 projects. So every note that is our national open access task is in contact with project officers. And we sent information about what you need to do to comply with access requirements and how they can check their applications on a portal. So we contact project officers twice a year. And that was the second part of the question. Yeah, so we informed them and trained them. And of course, we automatically transfer our information to participants portal. So we will see that the information that is on open air will also automatically appear in the participants portal. So that project officers can simply check in the participants portal if all their publications are there. I don't know if you want to say something else about it. Yeah, yeah, that answers the question. Can I add something? Yes, please. It's just not a minor detail from the technical side, but basically when you go to the participant portal, you are prompted with a list of publications suggested by open air. And you can validate and confirm those that you believe belong to your project and those that you believe don't belong to your project or can be related with it. So now we realized that the same person going to the participant portal at different times tends to reject those publications that he has he she has accepted in previous stages. And the reason may be because he she believes to have already reported those publications and that the reason need to do that again. And the the portal in that sense is not very clear. So if you reject it, then this is going to be rejected. So we're going to have a feedback in open air that tells us if our mechanism to associate publications to projects are fine and if they work well. In cases we get back a rejection. Then we go and check and realize that the paper actually declares the project in the knowledge meant so our statement was good. But the project coordinator for some reason, or a person on the he is her BF has rejected it. And we believe this is due to these probably misunderstanding that the portal doesn't really pass through in the proper way. He is accept every time if you are project coordinators and spread the voice around all publications that are associated to your project, even though you think you've accepted them or validated them before. That's very important. There's a comment from Moica on this and that project officer might refer to the project officer. So project officers sitting in Brussels that are responsible for monitoring how the project is going. To my knowledge, we don't have training specifically for project officers at EC. But if this is a need, I think we can easily set up a training program to enable the European Commission to fully exploit what open air can offer to them to make their life easier. Okay, let me see if I remember. Okay, that was the right way to go. I think this is another. Okay, so sorry, related to the previous question. There's a comment from Marian regarding training. It says that DCC and through the foster project provides training for the project officer. So it's just a matter of maybe better circulation of information and we can definitely promote these training courses from foster on the open air portal better than we are actually doing. Okay, there's another question that's for Paolo. A lot of technical questions for you today. They need to be sent by open air to the new participant portal cannot be modified on the portal, though they are always not clean. Could you allow for modification? And I think this relates partially to your comment before. Yeah, this is in the road map. So today what you can do is to add project information. What you can do is when you claim so that there is a distinction between the metadata that we collect from external data sources like repositories. For this information, you as a user, you find it on the portal on the open air portal and you can only add links from these objects to other objects. Then you have the records that you are claiming. That's what we say. So basically, you're going to the portal and you're providing a DOI and through the DOI we fetch the metadata from crossref data site or whatever. And there you can modify the metadata because this is metadata that you are as a user inserting. So if there is any change you would like to apply, this may be a way to go. So even though the publication is already in open air, then you, if the publication has a DOI, you can claim it and complete the metadata. So our duplication process basically will take that into account and try to gather as much information as possible. The trend is to give more trust to the information provided by the user. And so this may be the right solution. In the future, we are trying, we are willing to, it's in the roadmap to allow changes of any kind to any information that we have in the portal. This means that user can add claims again. So overrides basically of information whenever they believe this is doable or worth doing. For that we need to introduce the research community dashboard and of course experts that are able to inspect these updates of the records and validate them. So allow them or not allow them. At the moment this is not done because we alone cannot handle, let's say the wave of possible updates that would be provided. We don't have, we need to distribute this and monitoring this supervision job. And this is what we are applying, what we are thinking of doing with the research communities when they use the research community dashboard. Thanks Paolo, I think it was pretty clear. Let's go to the following question, which is another question related to EURTC and SPORTAL. On the portal, one cannot tick both boxes on green and gold open access. Are you in touch with them to have this change so that it complies with EU obligations and open access? How are these again for you if you have the answer to this? We are in touch with them so we can certainly provide feedbacks, feedback of that kind. I'm not sure I understand the question. So why being able to tick both green and gold, we would be flying, otherwise we wouldn't? I'm just guessing because I'm not the person who asked you for this question. But I think that one research project could have multiple versions. For example, one deposited in a repository and the full one published in an open access journal. So this might be the case. So you basically want to say that you have two versions of the same article published on the green or gold open access? Yeah, and if open-air artists both versions, so one coming from the repository and the other coming from the cross-referred metadata, for example, then you should be able to see both of them in the EURTC portal and also be able to submit both of them because they are different versions of the same thing. That's it. Yes or no? That explains, I can clearly see the issue. Okay, thank you. That's good feedback. I will definitely write an email for that. Okay, we've finished the questions that have been asked through 19-metre, but I got an offline question about the number of repositories now compliant to the latest version of the guidelines that have been released earlier this year. Do we already know some figures about it? You mean the 4.0 guidelines? Yeah, exactly. Because they're not yet, let's say, official. Okay. No, well, they will be responsible, I think. So there is no repository out there that has been published twice, I suppose. Because it's not officially released yet, so... Yes. That's a good explanation. Let's talk. Okay, but all resources about the new guidelines, webinars and description pieces are available on the EURTC portal for whoever asked me this question. Just let me read off the page in case something happened in the meanwhile. No, they're just fine. Does anyone of the participants have other questions for either the networking team or the technical team? Don't be shy, this is a unique opportunity to directly talk to the people that are building open air. Okay, if no other questions are arising from the participants, I would like to thank you for attending. For asking your questions, I hope that we were able to reply to them in a satisfying way for you. And the recordings of this Q&A session will be made available next week on the open air portal. Thank you all for joining, and have a nice rest of the afternoon. Bye-bye, thanks.


This study found that automatic kephalometric analysis software is accurate enough to be accepted in clinical practice, but manual supervision and adjustments are still necessary to ensure optimal results.


Stop the Bleed campaign is a campaign which is designed to educate the public on how to stop a patient bleeding to death immediately. A program was initiated to create mass awareness amongst immediate bystanders on how they can stop someone bleeding to death. There are many instances when death can be prevented if they were to intervene immediately. In the first hour the immediate cause of death is either due to extensive neurological injury or massive bleeding. If there is massive bleeding, especially in the extremities, it is very possible to stop that person from bleeding to death and time is off the essence and every second counts. The program is free. It's the ultimate satisfaction of being able to help another person by saving their life.


Hi, I'm Dazza Greenwood of the MIT Media Lab and this is a quick how-to video for teams that are participating in the open media music hackathon distributed event series and This tool is by open law spoke of consensus and Michael Chan Legal engineer from that team has kindly joined us to walk us through Their their open source tool set and give you a sense of how it works and how you can use it and where you can get more Information so thanks very much for taking some time to walk us through that Michael and take it away Hi hi Daz thank you Here open law we can put all the agreements that you need on to the Ethereum blockchain. So just as a quick example What I'm running through here is I've uploaded a Essentially uploaded this file to IPFS this the shiba here and It's as a non fungible token and what you can do I've already gone ahead and month gone through and listed these for sale, but So basically what happens here as you can see You can see that a oh Here and You can see that we've listed. There's just a quick interface to do this And we've listed gone ahead and listed There's 215 Sub license well these actually subtokens are actually licenses for sale and we cost a hundred way and This is the address My metamask address and what you would do is for example, you would come over here and you would purchase this license fill in my name and email Token ID, which is actually the license license ID. I asked for term licensing over subtoken, but And we'll just say I'm gonna purchase 10 of those and we'll use my We'll put the sellers at the ethereum address. We'll put a buyer We'll add a buyer to this would you go done and the nice thing about open law is that is the markup is really great and then we go ahead and we sign and So now we can purchase and what it should do is Send it to rink B Here we go send it to rink B network. I'm gonna choose the sign of open law today and you can sign through a metamask account too and Here we go, and it'll send these parameters to Send these parameters to the the depth that I had built earlier As you can see Let's see here The signature is waiting on rink B here and so we should wait for that and then the open law Contract should clear in just a moment Let's see here still pending Okay while we go while I wait for that we'll go down here and You will put my buyer address in here The license ID that I wanted Let's just see if that's clear right yet Let's see if that's gone through Looks like it has so We should be all clear to go ahead Short happened there. That's recorded. That's recorded. Sorry here Sorry technical difficulty here. Let's see That was for sale. I Got that right. Okay. That's correct Maybe oh, you know what I did what did I do out here? Sorry does it here didn't mean it don't mean to keep you holding not at all. Um, so this is um, I Say a good example of innovation in action look literally that yeah quite a new tool and and the Scope of what open law is trying to do as a consensus spoke is definitely ambitious and so That this is working um, I think this is and hopefully things that want to hack along with you with this tool can um You know, maybe even make some enhancements and make some pull requests That'll you know help them raise everybody's boat. Yeah, I'm sorry. The problem is more with my probably my application than my but It's working earlier, so I just I'm not sure what happened here. I'll give it. I'll give it one more shot and then I don't want to keep you Waiting but then I can also have a I Also have a video of this recorded earlier, but All right last shot, I don't want to keep you waiting too long, but Well, let's give it a try. Yeah, well the open law portion portion is working Let's see here. Okay see But essentially what you can do None of my calls are none of my calls are working. Well, thank you what you can do is That's I'm gonna have I'll call it right. I'll probably call it right here. I can send you um Maybe an updated version of this a little bit later today a few but okay, so um, and if you Kind of click that little green Square on the left of the hangout we can get oh there we go back to your very good So what so if people wanted to you know Give this tool a try themselves and configure it around a use case for this hackathon series Where could they find the code it looked like it was in get hub somewhere But you'd maybe talk people through where they would get the tools and and where they could find a little documentation Oh, okay. Sure. Let me sign you up for it would be do me just show or tell I can show you Yeah, I Think the best way to do it might be to Yeah, I'll go back to screen share here great. Yeah, sorry, I'll walk you through this. Thanks All right, so here we are we got if you go to openlaw.io here Hey the best way to do would probably be just to click sign up and I would say we cannot you could just signed up and you get started right away the best thing about it is Actually that they have sort of a pre-populated number of agreements and You can just go I Know one question that we'll probably be getting is how do I find the? You know the the license template. Oh, okay. All right, so you go to all template you can just go here and Go get a copyright license or license agreement And let's see here. Oh, here we go. There we go and you can just see it's rendered here You can just you can cut and paste any license agreement and it's really easy to go Up to my screen share here. Yep Yeah, I forgot and then if you want to go ahead and just edit the source you can You can go in here and you can and you can edit the document right here We have an extensive markup language and The docs for that are going to be And if you go to learn Right, so you if you want to learn where's open-eye low and then it'll you can go from there to the Oh, maybe the docs and I would say go to the here This is probably the best way to edit your Smart contracts up here or your your legal agreements is just to get familiar with the with the markup language And for smart contracts particular I would say the sticking point here is this to You have to Contracts there you go. You have you're gonna have to cut and paste your ABI in From You'll see something like this Under interface right here. Mm-hmm This is sort of the key to making the contracts work is you have the contract address that you want to interact with and then instead of Setting a bi I'll say interface and then you just cut your cut and paste your ABI From your smart contract in there and it'll make a call And that'll make a call to your smart contract Which is what it is doing here, but So which is what it did on mine, but for some reason I'm not rendering in my my own application there But setting that aside That's that's probably what you want to pay attention to great. So docs.openlaw.io forward slash markup-language and Looks like you've got some good documentation on the you know the room here. We have it right here on the left Menu bar variables the format You know the various winners and configuration. So yes, it's too easy it of course, you know, one of your claims to fame is that you You know with Aaron and the rest of the team and you with your legal backgrounds have really focused on making the legal contract front and center and integrated hand-in-glove with the Computable terms of the smart contract operating on the in this case the Ethereum blockchain, right? Yes, and oh, I would say also for the most part you could we are working on other Test nets, but you can also you but I would stick to the rink B test net for now and but we have all sorts of license agreements in here and So you can do it and yeah, and they're you know non-disclosure agreement and essentially My what oh what side the final point is that the is that The what happens is when you sign the contract it actually you'll receive an email confirmation as well And so and this is nice. You can actually you'll get a You'll get you can download the PDF of the agreement. So you'll have the PDF and you'll have the smart contract Sorry here So what you'll get What you'll get here. Oh, here we go. Yeah, so you'll get this And you'll get and you'll get an email you can see you can you can confirm the transaction on rink B I'll send you there But you can view the agreement anyways And it has it looks like it has the address so you could find it with an explorer Yeah, not operating right this second. Yeah, I think all my internet is going bad here, but You can actually what you can do Yeah, sorry Yeah, that's if you get this page something went wrong So we are having a little bit of Okay, well Let's see we get yeah. All right Okay, let's see. Oh, let me see if I can get you back to the oh Um So when you anyways, so we have to you send that first contract You'll have the the agreement here and you'll see and as you can see the printed out version is right here Um, and then the other thing to look at I would say is the So you can go to contract management And you can see all the contracts you were working on Okay, well Sorry, this is my local instance here, but You can see all the contracts you're working on and the And you should be able and then you can be able to go download them as pdfs or word doc or word docs or Maybe text files as well Dynamite. Yes. So Well, good stuff. Um, and um, I know a lot of you are here in new york city where I am today and um Just want to make sure that you're aware that right around the corner from consensus at the bushwick um generator um We'll be hosting the new york city node of this distributed legal hackathon this saturday october 20th And um for those of you that um are watching this or involved or interested in open law I want to try this tool if you're around mit We're having a big event on sunday october 28th There's big events happening in brazil and tansas city We did, um, san francisco last week as far as san francisco blockchain week and you can see all of the other venues at legal hackathon.org And you know encourage everybody to sign up and give give open law a try You know, it's got so much promise and uh, and it hits, you know So many of the points that you know, many of us yearn for um who are seeking to integrate business law and technology Um, and uh, it looks like it's you know, very much worth Hacking along with the open law team and um, seeing if we can apply it to some legal use cases in the music and media Uh context, so I just want to thank you michael for um hacking along with us and for giving us a demo and telling Everybody, you know where they can learn more and um, and uh, and try to use your tools It's much much appreciated. Thank you, daza
