Collaboration

Collaboration with other projects and research groups

OKKAM

Okkam is a Large Scale Integrating Project co-funded by the European Commission and it aims at providing unique identifiers for entities. In LiquidPub tools we will use OKKAM identifiers for authors and scientific contributions.

Entity disambiguation

We collaborate with the Human Language Technology research group from FBK, Trento on entity disambiguation. In particular, LiquidPub will use algorithms for disambiguating authors that have same names.

ePrints

ePrints and ePrints-Phd are Open Access Repositories hosted by the University of Trento. LiquidPub will include these repositories as data sources for contributions people can include in their liquid journals. ePrints will display metrics on the articles included in liquid journals, e.g., number of views, downloads.

ICST

The Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering, ICST, is an international society that support research, innovation and technology transfer in ICT. LiquidPub collaborates with ICST in several directions, including integration of LiquidJournals and LiquidBooks with ICST tools, and review analysis.

Icebar Group

The Icebar Group aims to improve the quality of education by: 1) assisting teachers in preparing and maintaining effective, up to date, targeted, easy to consume material, and 2) enabling the participation of students in large, international collaborative projects where they experience the same challenges and working conditions they are likely to face when out of school. More information is available here.

LiquidPub is a part of Icebar group and will collaborate on the concept of LiquidBooks, which are collections of collaborative, evolutionary, and multi-faceted teaching material on a topic.

Services for conference participants

We collaborate with STI Innsbruck on e-conferencing project.The idea is to provide a set of services to conference attendee based on RFID and mobile devices. Conference attendance will be able to use an IT stand where using RFID tag they can interact with colleagues: exchange vCards; "compare" their web presence; provide suggested talks and other similar simple things. LiquidPub's ResEval tool will be used in order to calculate metrics of the scientists.

QCIS-UTS

The Centre for Quantum Computation and Intelligent Systems (QCIS) at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) is aimed at developing theoretical foundations, innovative technology and practical systems that will result in next generation enterprise intelligent information systems. Our collaboration with John Debenham from QCIS has been mainly focused on information-based trust, or trust based on opinions. 

ISTC-CNR

The Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies (ISTC-CNR) is the result of a fusion of various institutions such as: the former Institute of Psychology, the former Institute of Phonetics and Dialectology in Padova and some groups from Biomedical Technologies in Rome, LADSEB in Padova and from the Solid State Electronics group in Rome. Hence, research in this institute is varied in subjects; however, our collaboration with Rosaria Conte and Mario Paolucci from ISTC-CNRS is focused on cognitive trust.

IRIT

IRIT (Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse) was founded in 1990. It gathers more than 300 researchers affiliated to CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), INPT (Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse), UPS (Université Paul Sabatier), UT1 (Université Toulouse1 Sciences Sociales), and UTM (Université Toulouse Le Mirail). Research at IRIT covers various fields, from computer architecture, software engineering, and computer networks, to artificial intelligence and cognitive systems. Our collaboration with Andreas Herzig, Emiliano Lorini, and Robert Demolombe from IRIT has mainly been focused on issues of trust and reputation.

LiveMemories

The Active Digital Memories of Collective Life or LiveMemories project aims to capture into 'memories' the data from records currently available on the web in the form of text, images and videos. These memories are also represented by complex structures, that are very similar to the SKO. As such, the relation with this project is mostly on the conceptual level for the moment but some implementation details (e.g. interfaces and editors) may be discussed in the future.

SOAP

SOAP

is an FP7 funded project about different forms of open access publishing and its perception in the scientific community. We will benefit from their survey results and discuss with them about new business models.

Analysis of ratings

UNIFR collaborates with several researchers: Jian-Guo Liu from School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, Arizona State University, collaboration on the study of diversity in the results of recommender systems and Luo-Luo Jiang from Department of Modern Physics, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, collaboration on the research of co-determination ranking algorithms and their performance with real datasets.
