What's up team? It's your biggest fan, and I am here to share some advice. I'm a full-time cybersecurity software engineer and Whether or not I'm a good one or a bad one is irrelevant. That's what I am And that's why I'm here in this place right now. I believe that the most Useful thing anyone can learn who wants to work In any profession that involves using a computer at any time like where you have to type a document Or you have to write some code or you have to write Anything and we all should write we all should be writing something every day every day We should be reading and we should be writing because that's how we get smarter And some of you may hear what I'm saying when I say we but whatever And I don't mean that in a negative way some of you will really understand what I mean when I say we So take it whatever way you want, but you should be reading every day and you should be writing every day and in this world This is the world. This is the age of computing There is no way to get around this Whatever it is that's going on right now.  So in this broadcast, I'm gonna share with you What I have come to understand and I'm sharing it with you now because the entire time that I was learning this over the ages I needed to make sure that it was The way it is and it is indeed this way what you set your mind on you will get I started doing this when I was a kid. I Didn't even know how magic it was I was born on the south side of Chicago on 56 in Carpenter and one of the worst places Anybody could be born inside of this system because the people there are Were at the time Perfect ever-evolving But things Difficult because they lacked the ability to communicate Because somewhere along the level along the way they lost personal power They began to believe that somehow they didn't have agency over themselves or their lives And so it was and it was so I was born into a place where people walked around I was born into a race Where people walked around believing that they could not achieve Because They had been educated to believe those things their parents were educated to believe those things and So it was But I was different I Will watch TV and I would see what was on the TV and I would think that's gonna be me I'm going in that direction Maybe not like that back then But I could go to this place in my head Where the outside world wasn't there and so it was and as it was every weekend I would go to my I Don't know when I started but one day I started going to my brother's house on the weekends because we had the same dad But two different moms he lived in a nice neighborhood. I lived in the ghetto, but every weekend every Friday I Got to go It was it was like going into a fairy tale. I was I would drive out of my neighborhood and go across The city of Chicago to a whole new neighborhood where I would live for the weekend like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air And then I would come back to my life I would go back to West Philadelphia I did this over and over and over and over again until my imagination Expanded and one day my mom and my two aunts bought plane tickets and flew me my mom and my brother to Alaska and There was turmoil because there was change involved But I never let it bother me just kept my mind on hey Right things are gonna be cool. This is what it's gonna be and they were and this continued on through all of Everything I've been to war three times went to Afghanistan twice went to Iraq once In the army, I lived in Korea. I lived in Germany. I've met Hundreds if not thousands of people. I've talked in front of hundreds of people and you've Experienced the same thing that I've experienced now. You don't have to go out and do all the stuff I did I did the stuff I did to make sure That what I knew I knew To be sure that I was who I was and that what I Was come here to say I would know how to say in the correct way And at the beginning of the journey This is the beginning of the journey Time going forward can be whatever you want it to be but you have to set your mind in the right way And you have to turn yourself away from the outside You have to turn away from the negativity turn away from the media turn away from the news turn into yourself and place face faith and trust and Your fellow man If you take a dollar bill out and you look at the back of it it says and God we trust This is one of the biggest secrets in the universe And when I say universe the only way the universe exists if is if we say and if we agree if All of us were to be gone if all the lights were to be extinguished and when I say lights Intelligence the ability to look around and say this is a thing To touch it to feel it to taste it to smell it to Feeling is a secret You can all you feel through all of your senses you feel through your nose You feel through your mouth you feel through your eyes Now science comes along and it breaks this all down and it makes and it makes it all complicated And it doesn't have to be it's all feeling everything that you felt has come to be the way it is Because she felt it Simple that's how simple it is this place is feeling all of it You feel bad you do bad things other people do bad things you feel good you do good things other people do good things You feel a good situation people will line up around you to make it work You feel a bad situation people will line up around you to tear it down now some people say oh well You know it can't be good all the time because I did this and I did that that's because you don't have faith You have to keep the faith If you set out to do a thing and it's not your thing to do this thing the system Outside of the system The thing beyond the system the Bible calls it heaven summary I don't that there's all kinds of religions that call this all kinds of things right Even the earth has atmosphere so if we want to take the scientific approach There is there is a layer of atmosphere around the earth that we exist inside of and if we go beyond that atmosphere We are in outer space what I'm saying is that let's just pretend that You have control over something in outer space that we can't see and when you take control of it over it It moves The system this earth this planet and the people on it to operate in a certain kind of way to Supply you with all the things that you need in order to manifest what you need It's like playing a video games like playing Minecraft. You can dig forever and never get to the bottom There's always minerals for whatever you need to do You can spend your entire life on Minecraft and never mind all the minerals. They just keep coming. That's how this place works Generation after generation after generation after generation after generation after generation after generation that's the secret And there's even bigger secrets But they've all been lost because When the monads come together when I say monad I'm talking about the smallest Piece of a system the most the smallest discernible piece and it comes when they come together they Create an intelligence an intelligence that is able to Achieve a vibrational frequency that brings Physical manifestation and mental manifestation We can have rocks that put off energy crystals that put off energy Magnets that attract and repel We're the same thing. We're all energy all vibrating different frequencies all the time different feelings That's why we say we feel stuff. I can feel the wall. I can feel the glass I can feel my skin. I feel sad.  I feel down I feel in I feel out feel feel feel everything is feeling I feel the sun on my skin You can feel the food on your tongue. You can feel the taste Feel the taste like that's a constant like think of that concept We call it taste but taste is an abstraction of saying I feel this I feel this Energy I feel this feeling of this thing And we categorize it so we can communicate it Everything throughout the ages and then we write it down in books We don't even know if us in this generation We have no idea if any of the books that we have are true or not. We don't know We don't know Because science is ever-changing because this place is ever-changing. It is not what we believe it is If we were to all think in a certain kind of way We would get those results and I'm about to give you the ultimate proof Look at the there's many people in this place That look like me and we can all Honestly say we don't even have to say it We don't need words for this when you think about My what what you may consider to be my culture based on how I look What would you think you think of maybe some sports? Maybe some music? Maybe some what else? I don't know now when you think of a Think of my hit. What's my history? What's my history in this place think of everybody else's history in this place think of my history in this place or what we've been told I Was born into a place where everybody believed their history was a Certain kind of way and they were all born into the same situation because we're all there together So the generation before us what happened in the generation before them what happened? And we all try to draw these timelines and draw these parallels blah blah blah blah blah blah blah The television is what happened. That's when everything began to change When we really got into the swing of capitalism when we could broadcast across the airwaves Words just like this To get people to do things And once you get people doing a thing you're benefiting from the thing if you don't think about it You'll keep doing the thing and so that's what that's what we've been doing We've been programming one another to become less and less and less and less And so when you look at me and think of perhaps the overarching community that Some would say I come from or or the label I would be given And so I'm trying to say a lot without saying a lot because these things don't need to be said These words don't need to be said anymore because we're all people But there's a thing the system that has to keep the system going it has to keep the lights on it has to keep the money flowing It has to keep the thing going That system Right it's gotten used to these lies And now it doesn't want to change But we is the constituent components of the system we can change it in The system it puts things in front of us So we can't see the truth So we end up with let's say two groups Arguing back and forwards about how one's gonna do this and one's gonna do that. Why do we need two groups? What if we had 360 million individual groups of sales who understood unequivocally unequivocably That there is no way that they can get along in this place and be comfortable without other people So you should treat everybody you meet wherever they are along the journey as if they were the most important person you know Because they are because everybody here and everything here is extremely Extremely extremely important as far as the mind goes You cannot trust people who tried to convince you to think in their way You cannot trust those who will sell you a false God Who tell you you must go here and do this and you must go here and do that Hey, you must adhere to these principles and presidences all you must adhere to is The natural law and the natural law is this Wish for and treat all how you want to be treated and wish for them all the things that you want for yourself all the time in spirit and in attitude and All we want in this place is feeling We want to feel a certain kind of way We label things here we put labels on everything You know what feeling you would like to have All the time you have to grab that feeling you have to hang on to it and you have to let all the other emotions emotions go And trust in yourself and trust that you know What decisions to make because you are in tune with yourself? And you have to get in tune with yourself when you start to do that you're gonna come across Tests I'm a cybersecurity software engineer and one thing you must do when you make software is tested So you make some software and you test it you make some software and you test it you make some software and you test it The system programs you then test the programming To reinforce to get better to understand what to do next and Our reaction is is how the system is going to respond The system puts out a cause We produce an effect the system says is this the effect. I want it. Yes or no if it's yes Then it continues to do his thing if it's no then it'll change up But us we are of the same intelligence. That's why we have choice That's why we have free world is written in all the books, but you have to read between the lines You can't listen to the false prophets You choose the feeling The system brings a feeling down upon you you can reach out beyond the system Because that's what you're connected to always But if you allow yourself to be shut off if you don't look for the connection, it can't find you It's like a Bluetooth device. It's like a phone. The phone has to look for the cell tower The cell tower can't look for all the phones all the time So the phone looks for the tower it sends out a signal the tower gets the signal that says yes You are my phone. You belong on my network and then from there all of the world's information is opened up to that device That's how this place works so as above as below so as within as without the system Wants to be the system When enough of us understand that feeling is the secret that we must block out the past and the future and be in the Present and to be constantly producing and generating the feeling we want we cannot go into our minds or go into our emotions or go Into our feelings anymore. We have to remain here and now and That the only way to advance this place is to create more life in abundance and The only way to do that is through communications and utility to one another all Beings in this place have shown us this there is no other way There is a group of people in this place that were taught that were programmed to be against one another So they are at the bottom of the barrel And we must ask ourselves. Why is this the case? Why these people all the time? Who are these people? one of the biggest secrets was to convince the world that He didn't exist the system The system has convinced you it doesn't exist You feed a group of people a story and they live out the story Because that's how this place goes and it's not it's not always as it seems And that's what's going on in the media right now There are those in the system who they know they know exactly what I know They're saying exactly what I'm saying in their own way because there's voices that need to hear it in that way There's intelligences that need to hear it in that way. There's intelligences that need to hear what I'm saying in my way But what we're all saying is the same thing is that we must wake up and Realize that we can have any and everything we want in this place if we set our imaginations in the right direction And we're willing to work together and we're willing to communicate and to communicate As openly as we possibly can But before that we must set our minds in the right direction and Trust that the obstacles will come and we don't have to feel the obstacles We can feel our way through them by hanging on to the feeling that we want to have Because the feeling it's not the feeling we want to have It's the feeling we are if we we know what if we know what The feeling we want to have is The exercise of life is producing that feeling all the time And I believe that if that were the case Well, actually in fact, I know for sure that it is the case When you have the feeling and you're able to hang on to it for a prolonged periods of time when you Go off to sleep You feel The feeling and you go into this other place or maybe you unplug from this place And you construct like a workshop in the dark because you can't see it you're in the dream world But is there you're inside of your imagination you're inside of a universe doing all kinds of things you're constructing this place from there So what you take there to the other side of sleep is what you construct And then you come back and you live in it In some time travel astral projection Like those are the extremes There's movies about it k-packs with kevin spacey The system knows the system shows us a lot of things are hidden in plain sight You can quite literally go to bed tonight And if you do it in the right way you'll wake up in the environment that whatever wherever you want to be doing Whatever it is you want to do But you have to believe Wholeheartedly and you have to act in that way Lest you go to bed and wake up a billionaire In this place what kind of person do you have to be to be such a thing? So what happens if you wake up a billionaire in charge of a billion dollar empire That you don't know how to run What's the outcome gonna be you're gonna end up right back where you are And that's how it works and that's how most of us do it We watch all this garbage and nonsense and then we carry it with us to bed and we build it and we wake up In coronavirus comes and the volcano blows up and the tsunami goes over the city and all this crazy stuff is going on We go. Oh my god. I wonder why I wonder why I wonder why And then we go off we get in our box and we go to our other box and we stare at all these people That we don't like and do these things that we don't like and then we come back and then we watch all this stuff We don't like and we say we want peace and happiness and love and all this stuff Go to church on sunday and we pray to false prophets who are telling lies lies nothing but lies You don't need to look outside of yourself. Everything you need is within you And when I say within you, I mean like Within you the whole universe is within you and it surrounds you all the time and everything But as it goes so as above as below the earth operates in a certain way You have a bunch of things that come together called cells That are born into this world somehow there had to be a first man at some point. There was a first something So yeah, if we follow science we evolved from slime or whatever, but here we are we're able to think we're able to manipulate the environment So here we are this thing that's in a thing That's acting out of accordance with the thing which makes us what a virus a disease. We're a dis ease We're in dis ease. We're supposed to be one way, but we're acting another we're supposed to be angelic, but we're acting like fools and This is what happens Some people they go out in the world and they look around and they run into a bad thing They go, oh my man, right and then they want to come back and they broadcast it and everybody thinks the thing And then more of it happens and then more of it happens because that's the way it goes It's the way it goes Believe me this I'm in this place right now. There's people who do not know about any sort of problems They don't have a clue Not a clue They live in these high-rise buildings behind me some of And they go off to their jobs and they do their thing and they enjoy it.   We don't need the black mirror We've built what we need We have taken What we say is all of the world's knowledge All of the all of the scientific discovery of this place up into this point that we know about we've taken If we put it inside of this little box and we can find it And people are looking and they're starting to find it But the system is the system so it cracks down no more free books no more No more free white papers No more free information It's a crackdown going on.  We can't see it's happening all around us all the time Because it's turmoil it's discomfort of all of the collective mind is discomfort of the system the system He's trying to figure out what to do Because we're turning our backs on it And we're turning our we're turning towards one another It is time to turn towards one another and start working together and to communicate all of us Every single being on this planet and communicating the earnesty We don't need Politicians if we all just go to work and do what it is we like to do If the police go to work to police And the people go to work to be people And the criminals go to work to not be criminals or to be better if you're gonna be a criminal You have to hurt everybody There's a way we can do this where we can all have fun and not and nobody gets hurt That's the name. Imagine. That's the name of the game Let's all have fun and nobody gets hurt But as long as we keep listening to what the system has to say Some will call it the matrix and maybe that's what it is The the intelligence that's produced. It's like heat It's like heat that rises up off of a Off of a group of a group of people running It's a it's a whole nother intelligence that's produced and the intelligence drives the group So we say we say followers, right? You're following people People most follow the intelligence. They followed. They follow the system And then you have some But they don't They create in the system. They see the system for what it is and they go, oh, okay This is the direction I need to go and they start to move And here's the thing, right? You cannot move without people You can go off into the woods and be all by yourself and then you're not inside of this system anymore So it doesn't matter Nobody will come mess with you That's what the system is telling you Go off into the woods. Nobody's that you can right now You can go set up a tent on the streets in the in the city In the cops won't mess with you You think they're going to mess with you if you go out into the woods start living Like way out there, but you don't want to do that You want to be here in the system because there's something you're supposed to do here So you got to go do it You got to turn your back on these on on Others who don't know you on the tv telling you what you should do who you should vote for how you should think Where you should live how you should act how you should feel how you should feel You should feel the way you want to feel and if you don't feel the way you want to feel you must change it And the system it will give you obstacles and you have to overcome those obstacles you have to step over the obstacles And how do you do that? You know the feeling that you want and I will tell you this if you travel too far from now This is time travel if you go too far in the past You will lose the good view lose the feeling of the wish fulfilled It will begin to dim the light will begin to dim because you as a being have traveled away from this place So you're in two places at the same time Or you could go off to the future and there's many different futures That's what all the marvel movies are telling us when we watch these movies. They're all telling us the exact same thing There's a multiverse and you exist in all of them, but they're not telling you this Here in the now you can choose the direction you want to go That's the secret So if you visualize a future where you have exactly what you want and you feel the way you want to feel Then that future can come to pass And any obstacle that comes towards you Is nothing more than an obstacle for you to deflect with the powers of your mind and the powers of the feeling the powers of the now When something comes to you you can look to the future you can look around you can say this is what it is What do I need to do to overcome this thing right here? You say it out loud and the answer will come to you And you will develop the volition to act and you'll do it. That's called personal power You develop personal power and then you'll move around that obstacle and you develop confidence and that confidence will give you more personal power I'm here to tell you this You have to do the thing That you came here to do and it is the thing you know how to do with the least amount of effort The system will tell you what it is on a repeated basis That's why i'm recording this video right now. That's why i've recorded up to this point Because the system It wants it. It's like going to the gym It's like reading a book It's like going to class. It's like falling in love Finding a new friend You worry about things changing But you want them to change Because you want to feel The feeling of success and the feeling of success is the pursuit of a clear and worthy idea So the system knows what it wants, but it's resistant We have to be One with the system because we are the system We cannot listen to the intelligence produced from the system. We must communicate with one another Can you imagine what it would be like if all the cells in your body were worried about what was going on next door? But they aren't All the cells in your body are worried about What's going on next to them perhaps They communicate with one another. That's all that matters. Nothing else matters to these cells but communications Of being utility in this huge system that they exist in And they do it all for us And we do it all for them We don't stump our toes because it hurts. They'll tell us hey, you heard us We live together This collective intelligence we produce we live together and perhaps it Gives away to things like me who come here to say these things in this kind of way We can make this thing better If we stop listening to It's negative thoughts If we stop watching it's negative thoughts The thoughts of our own creation we have to let them go Focus wholeheartedly on what you want in this place Don't focus on what the tv tells you you should want because the tv does not know the system Right. It's the subconscious It produces what we believe what we think what we have faith in And that's why we have to turn our backs on institutions as well We have to turn inward we have to turn to ourselves develop personal power and understand that we're each Kings of our own kingdom Some 14 trillion odd cells if not more Maybe maybe as many as a hundred trillion At least a hundred trillion atoms All working together to animate this so we say First principle of it is It's the feeling Feel who you are and be that And work with your fellow man to create that And do not spend your time watching others do that Well, no do Watch your fellow man achieve greatness But don't be told by others That greatness is not inside yourself that there is something that you need to buy or something you need to do It's very very very simple if you believe it up here And you have the guts To say it out loud The system will deliver it to you Because it's obligated to it's like a genie in a bottle It's like the devil if you tell it what you want It's obligated to do it Tell it what you want It will do it it will present obstacles and then you have to Tell it what you want again this obstacle Is not for me You hold on to the feeling if you if you can't be swayed in any way Eventually the system will stop trying it'll give up It'll give up it wants to make you overly happy But you just in that feeling And you know what feelings are so you say yeah, I'ma go to all the way to the happy place It goes I got you Then something will happen But you stay in a happy place It goes what? Let me try this again Didn't get them down, huh? Hmm Leave them alone And now you're just living Then something will come along And you don't change You're the same all the time Now there's a road you could go all the way But for now you just change your thoughts And then think about how you would like to be treated Whatever being in this place that you were And think about communication and how Energy and feeling transfers and moves throughout this place And energy is just another name for feeling feeling moves all throughout this place through all things all the time And there are some things that are meant for us And there are some things that are not there's a book that tells us this they talk about this thing that we would eat Or we're not to eat I suppose I don't know I believe that thing would probably The only thing we were supposed to eat, but this isn't this isn't the story i'm here to tell there's no need to go way back when For now If you tell yourself to do a thing Make a decision and do it But only if you believe It adds to Your personal power your personal greatness And understand this you can't have power over others in this place. It does not last No one has ever been in power over people For a very long time If they attempted to control those people it does not work And you can't control others because this place isn't like that You have to control yourself. You have to control your own mind. That's how this place works There is no other way There is no other way I'm here to tell you i'm proof until next time team i'm your biggest fan


So welcome to the fourth OpenR Connect community call. I'm Alessia Bardi, I'm a researcher in computer science and scholarly communication at the Italian National Research Council. And then the service manager for the Connect services and OpenR service that allows research communities and organizations to promote and better implement open science practices in the community. So the past community calls were somehow reserved to community creators. So those people that, those people that already have a Connect gateway, today we did an open, an open call for all those that would be interested to have a new Connect gateway. So today, let's say the agenda is a little bit different than usual. So I will go through an introduction to the service and what can be done for you and for your communities. I will briefly go to a couple of highlights and novelties we are working at. And then I will give the floor to Yvonne Desmond from the Technological University Dublin that we present how the Connect gateway was used by the EUT plus Alliance. And then clearly we have some time at the end for questions and answers to address everything that you will ask. So let's start from the beginning from Connect. So what's the problem that we would like to address is that we realize that due to the publication and data deluge, the research communities, single researchers but also citizens and organizations find it very difficult to to discover the research productions that are useful for their needs, both in terms of, for example, data discovery for doing their research, but also for having indicators about their performance and the impact that the organization has on the research landscape. And in Europe, we can find almost 20% of all the higher education institutions in the world. And they tend to form alliances so to form groups of universities that work together for creating more knowledge for improving their organizations and the learning path for their students and for their researchers. And we think that this is a very important activities that they are doing. So they need tools, so they need tools to discover, to assess and to outreach their research findings. And how can they do this? Typically, they would like to have a personalized portal for their research communities, for their researchers, for their audience, so that they can really show to the world, to the stakeholders, to the funders, to everyone involved, what they are doing, what the researchers are doing, and also find a way to make it more apparent and not to hide it behind a wall. The problem is that it's not easy to put in a single place all the research outputs that are relevant for a community. So how, because research products, publications, data, software, and also other types of research products like protocols, methods that are created by researchers and we use by researchers as scattered in different places. So they are available from different repositories or data archives, and it's not easy to find them. We need infrastructure, we need infrastructure that aggregates research works of specific interests and put them all together. But this requires time, resources, and expertise at different levels, because there are several challenges that need to be tackled in order to do that. And I can mention four, so the heterogeneity, so the fact that the different repositories where these research works are hosted may have different, may be compliant to different protocols. So if you have to build a system that is able to collect from all these different places, the metadata about the research products.  So you have to deal with big data, both in terms of numbers but also in terms of structure, because the description of a publication is probably very different from the description of a protocol over that data set. Then the quality and accuracy and completeness. There is not one place where all the information is available, you have to integrate so you may want to have information about the authors, for example, from our kid, which is a registry for for researchers. You may want to have the links between publications and data sets from another service. And so you need to have the expertise in order to put all these things together and create a rich informational space which you can have part us for the discovery and also part us for statistics and monitor indicators. The first is that open air can tackle those challenges for you. Open air is already operating an infrastructure that does that. So thanks to this infrastructure, we are collecting metadata about research products of different types from more than 2000 scholarly communication sources. And we are talking here about institutional repositories, thematic repositories, funder databases, authoritative registries like open door with redata, roar for the organization, but we also have crossref and data site which are the main persistent identifier authorities that are used. So by collecting all this information we put everything together and and we further enrich the information that we collected by finding duplicates, because we may collect different metadata description of the same product from different repositories. We identified that these two records describe the same thing and we put them together and we keep information about the provenance of each piece of information that we that we merge, let's say, and we also have algorithms that analyze the metadata and the full text of open access publications in order to extract additional information that is not explicitly available in the metadata. So, for example, citations or links to data sets links to software and subject classification, for example. Then the result of this work is the opener graph where all these different entities so software publications data organizations, data sources are linked together. And the numbers are pretty impressive so we're talking about 160 millions publications 58 research million research data and and so on. So what, how can it be useful for research community or for a university Alliance. We need to find a way to identify from the graph the slice the part that is relevant for for the Alliance or for the research community. And once we identified this slice that is relevant then we can build customized portal on top of it. And this is exactly what open air connect us. And in addition to the portal, you can consider connect as a facilitator of open science practices. In fact, this is integrated with other scholarly communication services like orchid, crossref usage counts, but also other open air services like Zenado and and Explorer. The thing is that in this case, you do not, you do not have to build the infrastructure for the aggregation and processing of the data. You don't have to think about the maintenance and operation of machines that are needed to run the portal, or to implement the the search facilities, because everything is operated by open air. So the installation maintenance upgrades of the machines and and the services regular backups and the automatic that updates are all operated by by open air. So how does it work. Basically, with connect you will deliver a gateway. And as I said, we need to identify the slice of the graph that is relevant for you. For this, the gateway offers an administration interface with which you can basically provide a configuration so the criteria of inclusion. These criteria are applied to the graph. And they are used in order to talk the research products that are relevant for you. And based on this, we have an end user portal with discovery facility functionality. And we also publish that the metadata records in a dedicated data set on Zenado. You can also get the metadata and build your own portal if you want or build additional. I mean, other added value service if you want. And clearly it's also available via the open air API. So the configuration criteria are very important because they identify the subset of the opener graph that will be searchable in your gateway. And we can do this in different ways. And different criteria are more useful for specific type of communities. So for example, if you're are a discipline specific communities, then the keywords are very important criteria so you can select for example, all the research products that have. I don't know digital humanities among the subjects in the metadata. Then we have the projects and with projects we mean the project wins so that the fundings. So you can basically select from the 25 funders integrated in open air. We have three million projects and you can select which are the grants that whose publications whose deliverables whose reports data sets you want to include in your gateway. Then clearly we have the data sources. So thematic repositories, archives, journals, but most important for university alliances is the fact that we have the institutional repositories. So a gateway creator can say that all the research products that are available from the repositories of my universities should be included in the gateway. And then similar to that we have the Zenodo communities and finally the organizations. Why is very important, especially for university alliances, because sometimes researchers do not deposit their publications their research products where they should. But they do add their affiliations in the metadata or in the full text. So open air can extract the affiliation from the full text. And in such a way, you do not only get everything that is in your institutional repository, but also everything that is affiliated with your institution. So it's like that the picture that the record of your organization is is as much complete as possible. Then there is also an option for end users of the portal to add missing products in the gateway. So you can basically link products that are already available in open air. But also products that are not yet in open air, but they are available from Crossref, Datasite and Orchid. And they can also add links to other research products and to project rents. So in order to grow the records of your community. Then we have the open air algorithms. So I already mentioned the full text mining algorithm that finds the links to projects, affiliations and document classification. But we also have an algorithm that propagates the fact that something is relevant for your community to its related items. So for example, if a publication is relevant for your community and is supplemented by a data set, then also the data set is added to your community. So we connect what you will get. You will get an administration dashboard to configure the gateway, not only in terms of the inclusion criteria, but also in terms of look and feel. And you don't need to code if you don't want. If you want, you can write a little bit of HTML to make your page a little bit nicer according to your needs. But if you don't want, there is what you see, what you get administration panel where you can actually do everything you need. And you will also get the portal where the users can search for any types of research works they can, they can browse with the flitters on the left. They can find the right place to deposit. So if there is, if there are any community specific Zenado communities to use or any institution or automatic repositories to use. And as I said, they can link research products among them and with funding project. So the idea is that you can contact us, we understand which are your needs, and we tell you what we can do, and we sign a memorandum of understanding. So we agree on what needs to be done in order to support your community. We create a first version of the gateway, and you assign creators that will manage the gateway and will provide the configuration. And then we can support with the public lounge. So we can helps you deliver a, let's say a final version of the gateway that can be public can be publicly launched and we support with the communication and dissemination activities, specifically for the university alliances. Within there are three actions that are very important to do. So the first one is to ensure that the repositories of the universities are in open air. This means that they, the repositories must expose their metadata records according to the open air guidelines. And they can register to the content provided dashboard of open air in order to validate their metadata records and to provide the old information that we need in order to harvest this information from them. So the university is to check if their organization is properly represented open air. So for this, you can go in our discovery general discovery portal open ed Explorer and search for your organization could be the case that you will find duplicates, or you will find a wrong name. These are all things that come from the information that we collect. But we have, we do have a creation tool that's basically, we can use in order to create all these details so names, URLs and search to organizations together if they're the same or split them if they are not. And yes, clearly the action tree is to find internally on the side of the alliance who are the gateway creators. So this is a matter of policies. Basically, we give connect for free because it's funded by a project, which is open air nexus. We need some time for the delivery about one month, more or less for the first phase. But we land soon. So if you're interested, I think it's a good idea to ask us for for a gateway in order to bootstrap the process. But in addition to that, we also have monitor. In some cases you also want to monitor the impact in the research landscape you want to have indicators about the open science uptake. Sorry, the uptake open science practices in your community. And with monitor, you can have basically a dashboard with different types of visualizations charts numbers that monitor different aspects that can range from the, the number of open access publications to the APC's organizations or, or are the indicators related to the collaboration with other organizations. And you can keep it public restricted. And you, as you wish. So there is, it's a powerful tools. So very briefly, the novelties I would like to present you today. They are related to the inclusion criteria. So the part of the configuration where creators specify which are the criteria by which a research product is relevant for the community or not. We are, we have added on on beta, the selection criteria based on fields of science and sustainable development goals. And also the advanced criteria. What does it mean is that for now, all the criteria I mentioned before, they are not related to each other. But now you can, for example, say that not only I want everything whose subject is United States. But in fact, I want the subjects to be United States and Mexico, or I want to have a subject that is digital humanities and the contributors is Daria, which is a digital infrastructure for digital humanities. So you will see soon, these two options in your gateway in the production environment. We are finalizing some, some details before adding to production. And with these I think I can leave the floor to even for the presentation about ut plus. Hello everybody I'm just going to share my screen. Yes, so mine. Yes. I hope everybody can see that. Yes, we can see it but it's not yet in. Okay, now it is in presentation. Well, thank you very much for the invitation to come and share our experience with you, which I have to say has been a very positive one. So just to explain what the European University of Technology is. It's basically me you fund a project to create one technological university for Europe. As you can see there are eight partners of technological universities and you can actually see the scale of project just by looking at the numbers that are involved. Initially funded for three years, which will end in October, we were told that we had to produce very concrete evidence of project of progress in order to get funding for next year for the next phase. So, it's been a very practical kind of project to work on. So, the proposal included the ambition that the ut plus would be an open university. And this is largely driven by to you Dublin, which thinks this is an ambition everybody should have a work package 8.6.7 to Pacific deliverables. One was to create the institutional repository for the ut plus. To create an online open access academic press and naturally enough, we were to do this without any money, which is pretty standard. And we had a, there are about 36 people in the work package, but we had a core of 12 people who are mostly librarians and I would say if you want something to happen, definitely include librarians in your work package. The first thing we did was do a landscape survey of the Alliance members to see what the status of open research was. And it varied a lot. Some of the universities were very advanced in this area, some of them are not and some were literally at point zero. All but one of the universities had an institutional repository already. And so the subgroup was established. And they were given the task that given that we had repositories already. We just had to find a way of putting an interface on top of those and find some way to accommodate the one university that didn't have a repository. So we took three approaches. One was to build a portal from scratch, which was impossible because we had neither the personnel nor the money. We were could look for a hosted solution because to you Dublin, for example, uses digital commons. Again, we had no money. And then we found open air, which rapidly became the only solution, given our lack of resources on time. So we then contacted open air with a request to develop the portal. We signed a memorandum of understanding in September 21. I think you can't underestimate the market value of this for us. As you can see, this was the press release. And they were really excited that we had something to show that was concrete that we were moving forward. We were all working together. And they also made a commitment that we were moving to open scholarship, which is something I have used to my advantage sense. So it was a very big deal for the EU T plus that we had done this. So we were then moving on to build the EU T branded web space and to have as a noted community for the university that didn't have a repository already. So it was the first tangible expression of the EU T plus as an entity is showcased the diversity and talent within the EU T plus. This is really very important for technological universities as opposed to more traditional universities because a lot of our material that is high impact is not necessarily the peer reviewed literature. So we need we need a showcase to put everything that we do out there as most of our research tends to be applied. And it actually happened very fast. We were operational the end of November, and I have to say the delay was mostly our side, because the universities had to look at the state of their repository in open air. It's also important to mention that we did not have huge technical support our end. We were basically librarians with some technical knowledge but not a lot. And open air did all the heavy workforce really in this instance. So this is how it looks. It's very simple. I think it's quite elegant at the bottom of the screen I couldn't fit it onto my page. The university logos are displayed together. So I think it was a really, a really good job that happened very quickly. So, as I say we kept it very simple the feedback was really positive everybody got quite excited, because when you look at it aggregated there's quite a lot of material coming from the eight university eight universities. And the subgroup worked really well together which is amazing given you know the diversity and languages and approaches and all the rest, but everybody was sort of committed to the idea that it was really important and works quite hard to make it happen. And as a leader of the work package I was very relieved because I felt it was sustainable, and it was simple and intuitive to use which is really important. There were problems making the repositories compatible with the open air requirements took a lot of work. We had difficulty with the different versions like we have been harvested for open by open air for years, but we discovered we were on version three and didn't know that there was a version five so that was a problem. I'm working with the help desk can be so and you do require a little bit of patience understandable given the volume of what they had to do in the initial stage we weren't really clear what had to be done by us but that did become apparent over the time. My biggest problem is delay and updating the IR it's currently, you know, 12 weeks, which I think is is far too far too long, and I've been assured that that will be worked on. And the big disappointment was one university did not take up this nodo option as they didn't have the resources they said. So the statistics were really, really welcomed because they were coming from an independent source. The funder's information was very useful as again it showed the diversity of funding that existed within the UT. We're delighted that the STGs are coming because STGs are really important for technological universities as we all work to a number of them. It highlighted the diversity of research communities. We thought we were really bad on data, but yes when we aggregated we had only 1500 data sets. Again, given the whole trust of the UT plus this was really important to psychology very important that we could demonstrate all this evidence. And we then started looking at the open air services so the monitor is now on the UT plus repository and to Dublin has put it on our own. Both are open. We dearly love the visualizations. I just want to remember that this is really hard to collect data for the for the seven universities. So it's really good. For example, these are my favorite ones. I love the one on the right, which just shows the publications rising. And the next one is the openness over time we're very keen on the green route. And we want to keep demonstrating demonstrating that the green is possible you don't always have to be paying APCs. And this like I was just when I was putting together this repos this presentation I was looking at the stats and this one is alarming me greatly because there's a lot of material without a license. So for example we have a meeting of the UT next week and this will be highlighted as people need to clean this up. The published versus deposited again we're very happy with the green being very prominent. And it's very, very useful information when it comes to demonstrating the importance and the impact of openness to the sometimes quite cynical university presidents and rectors. So, all in all, I would have to say it's been a really successful partnership from our point of view, we couldn't have achieved what we have achieved without open air. I think updating is a problem which I'd like to see sorted. And sometimes the communication is not too clear or it's too technical, which the problem our end we don't understand sometimes what people are actually saying to us. I think the documentation could be a little bit clearer so you should be told exactly what you need to do. And it needs to be on the latest version for open air compliance and again you need to know that. I don't know what we thought was happening we just thought everything was upgraded but obviously that's not not the case until you double and uses proprietary software so we really need a bit more flexibility. But at the moment, when you were trying to deal with that you need to really check that you're being properly harvested it's become very apparent. Particularly until you double and it's not so bad in the ET plus one that we need to do great data work to make sure that the harvesting is complete and accurate accurate because that has ramifications for the statistics, which we really like and which are separate example my head of research finds really really useful. I would say sometimes how the services internet interconnect is not always very clear. And we were told that we should have turned on the usage kind of service, which we didn't know about, and we're still trying to find out how to do. But these are kind of minor levels. As I say, we couldn't have done this without an open air. We're now very conscious of open air. For example, again until you double and we're going to start using the Argus software, which is for data management. We're going to roll it out within the technological university sector in Ireland, because prior to this we've all been using DMP online, it is as you may know is British based on given Brexit we kind of feel we shouldn't be doing that anymore. Would I recommend using open air if you're trying to do this kind of thing. Yes, I think you need to have very clear conversations in the beginning. But for people like us who just wanted it to happen, but we didn't really want to know how to do it. It has worked extremely well for us. And, you know, all I can express is the fact that we are very grateful within the UT plus because we have managed to reduce both our deliverables within a year, which makes us best in class. So that's basically what I have to say so thank you for your attention. I'm happy to take any questions for people want to I'll just stop sharing my screen now. Thank you very much, Yvonne, for this overview and for the details you share. So clearly we will address all the, all the suggestions that you have in order to improve at a different levels both at the level of communication, which I understand sometimes also myself. I'm sorry for that. You see, you have to you have to tell us all down for people like me.  It's just, I think it could be a little clearer. And maybe some straightforward written documentation that tells you exactly what you need to like turn on this turn on doctor and whatever would help. As I say, it's a minor. And the end result was we got our repository in four months which was incredible. Great. Let's check if there are any questions I see some in the chat. Okay. David. David the church is asking if there is there any timeline for the inclusion of data about citations of research products. Okay, so just this information is already available in the in the graph, but we still have to work on the on the visualization on the portal. And I think you're more interested in the in the statistics part. So I know that this is still a work in progress. I can ask my colleague for an update on this. I really will. I think that the plan is to make it available. Before the end of the open air and access project, but I really need to check with them. Martin Diaz is that has two questions. So the first one. So we have a record of the impact of the gateway in the dashboard we can see or at least I don't know how to see the traffic inside the gateway. So what we are doing is sharing short links to have some data, even if they're linked. On the gateway traffic. Yes, we are monitoring the traffic on the gateways. I am a trauma be weak. But but the system is is not available for you. So, but I agree that the managers of the gateway should somehow have this information, at least on request. So, let me check with the system administrators. If we can maybe open the pages of a gateway to a specific user or if I can produce. I know I can produce maybe an export of of the data that you can use. Thanks for thanks for the question. And the second one. We would also like to see in the dashboard, for example, specific data from certain gateway sources. Okay, so I guess you mean in the monitor dashboard to have some charts that are not relevant about everything in the gateway, but only a subset that is collected from a specific source. I don't think this is in now are to do this for now, but we can evaluate because we have the information because for every record that we collect. We know where it comes from, where it comes from. And so this is not something technically. And I think I read all the questions in the chat, but if someone would like to to ask something. Hi. Sorry, can you hear me now. Yes. Okay. Yeah, I just need to switch. My question is a more generic one regarding the relationship of the records in the gateways and what happens to them, or how they land in the US resource catalog. I'm asking this for very selfish reasons because like a Daria. We received this question relatively often like okay, we are Daria memory institutions. How do you make sure that our resources land in the US. Our individual data providers are answers, of course, to the opener gateway. And, but when I make a bit of like a practical check up and search for individual records that are in the open area gateway and check them in the US resource catalog. I cannot always find them which might be a granularity issue as well like if the US resource catalog is a catalog of the catalogs. But so what are your perspectives in this respect. What do we expect that these records will be available in the US resource catalog on the record level or only on the catalog level if you understand my, my question. Okay. So the US resource catalog, let's say is built on top of the opener graph. But not all the research products in open air go there. We make a selection. So we try to identify which are the products. The US products and currently the criteria is that the US resource catalog should contain only the records that come from a source from a data source that is registered as a data source in the US service registry. So, the thing is that in the in opener and in Explorer, sorry, in opener in general, and in the gateway for that, for example, we have more we may have more, because it's not only, for example, the research products that we collect from the text grid repository. But it's also more. So, so this is why there is this discrepancy and not all the products that you see in the data gateway is available in the US. We should talk with us team in order to understand if it's possible to update this criteria. So, for example, say considering that area is an infrastructure these news should everything in of the data gateway also be in the US resource catalog. Probably yes, probably should. But we need to start a conversation with the team. This is extremely helpful. Thanks a lot. I feel enlightened now. Thanks. Thank you for the question because the connection with the European Open Science Cloud is often not clear. So, are there any other questions that you would like to ask to me but also to to even based on on our experience. So, I have a question. So I know that the project, the open, open-air nexus project will end at the end of June. So, I was wondering what will happen next. If there are any other way in which open air will be still available. I mean, I'm sure that it will be still available but I don't know in terms of development on and about the requests, technical requests, but the current gateways, what will happen about it. Yes, so before I leave the floor to Julia, let me say that you don't have to be worried. We are not going to close the gateway on the first of July. No, we're not doing that. What we're doing is that we need to start a conversation with you and with all the research infrastructures we have been working with in order to find paths to continue these collaborations and to make it sustainable in the long term. And I think this is where Julia can. Thanks, Alessian. Thanks, Davide, for the question. Yes, so the gateway will be available till the end of the year in order that we are continuing our conversation and check on the sustainability plan, which means that the gateway may have a price and this is depending also on the development that you would like to have in your dashboard. So if you are requesting something that it's not on our plan for the moment, it may require some more development. So, anything that you are thinking to make it right here or to make it more interesting. Let us know before June 2023. If you want a monitor service for your gateway. It's better that we start now. And we update the number of understand that we have already in ongoing and unfortunately, I will start sending the mail by now I am alone but probably other people from the team will help me to deal with all the memorandum understanding and being touched with all of you. So it's a bit of time, but for sure not before December of this year. Alessia, I have a question for you. Yes. Martin was asking about some specific data about the certain sources. And with the user accounts, and then with the one we will find out how to enable you with the user account service as well. Is it possible to have this kind of information from. You can get the question. Sorry, it's a nice. I jumped a little bit. Okay, so the question is, if we have from the service that are registered to provide. If the user account will be possible to enable the dashboard or to see some specific data from the gateway resources. Okay. They said that the landing page of each research product in the gateway already shows the usage statistics. If the corresponding repository is activated the service. So this is already integrated. I think what Martin asked is to be able to see statistics about a subset of the gateway. In this specific case, basically, what is happening is that the gateway includes a lot of resources that are related to human rights and sustainability and laws. But he would like to have specific statistics about the research products that are available from the zonal community of his own organization. And we, I mean that there is a technical issue I'm not going to explain here, but we could somehow do it by exploiting information about the source from which we collected records in order to provide the subset, but this is something that probably we need to discuss with the Leonidas and you are now who are my colleagues who are responsible for the for the monitor dashboard. Thank you. Okay, I'm good to know Martin that I understood your your suggestion correctly. Okay, so if there are no other questions, we are. We have almost finished our time so I would like to thank you all for being here. Even thank you very much for your presentation for your very important input. Thank you. And I wish you a lovely day. And if you have questions, if you want to ask for more information, just contact me you can go to connect dot open air dot you, and you will find a contact form. And I will reply or reply you we can arrange a meeting and we can solve any issues and address any questions you might have.
