Funding models for open access digital repositoriesrobkitchin
Across jurisdictions and domains (academia, government, business) there has been much recent attention paid to open forms of knowledge production (e.g., open-source software, open data/metadata, open infrastructures) and the creation of open digital repositories for the unrestricted sharing of data, publications and other resources. This paper focuses on the latter, documenting and critically examining 14 different funding streams, grouped into six classes (institutional, philanthropy, research, audience, service, volunteer), being pursued by open digital repositories to support their endeavours, with a particular focus on academic research data repositories. Whilst open digital repositories are free to access, they are not without significant cost to build and maintain, and unstable and cyclical funding poses considerable risks to their futures and the digital collections they hold. While the political and ethical debate concerning the merits of open access and open data is important, we argue that just as salient are concerns with respect to long-term, sustainable funding for the operation and maintenance of open access digital repositories.
This document discusses funding models for open access digital repositories. It outlines 14 potential funding sources, grouped into 6 classes: institutional, philanthropy, research, audience, service, and volunteer. Direct funding from the state is preferred but many repositories receive only partial funding and must pursue blended models. Failure to establish sustainable funding risks closure of the repository and loss of data, expertise, and infrastructure. A blended approach is being pursued to support the long-term needs of open access.

2. Clearing rights for digitization projects takes significant time and resources, including identifying rights holders, determining ownership status, and obtaining permissions.
3. When rights cannot be cleared, organizations should demonstrate "due diligence" in trying to identify rights holders and manage legal risks through non-commercial educational use.
The document discusses Archives 2.0 and how archives can embrace new technologies and standards to improve access and engagement with users. It describes initiatives like the Archives Hub and AIM25 that aim to locate archives across institutions, save time and resources for users, and promote standards. While embracing new technologies, it cautions that Archives 2.0 must be sustainable, user-focused, and not just for the sake of being fashionable or a technical shortcut.
The document discusses preserving born-digital heritage such as websites, games, and interactive media.

The document discusses different queue data structures, including their operations, implementations, and uses. It covers standard FIFO queues as well as priority queues, circular queues, and double-ended queues. Standard queue operations include enqueue, dequeue, peek, isempty, and isfull. Circular queues reuse space after reaching the end to avoid overflow. Priority queues order elements by priority level rather than insertion order. C code examples are provided for array-based standard and circular queue implementations.
The document discusses machine instructions and programs, including:
- Number representations like binary, decimal, and signed binary
- Converting between decimal and binary numbers

Creativity for Innovation and SpeechmakingMattVassar1
Tapping into the creative side of your brain to come up with truly innovative approaches. These strategies are based on original research from Stanford University lecturer Matt Vassar, where he discusses how you can use them to come up with truly innovative solutions, regardless of whether you're using to come up with a creative and memorable angle for a business pitch--or if you're coming up with business or technical innovations.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.
Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

12. ROM Policy Development
Spring 2000 – ROM board adopts governance model
Redefined its fundamental role and responsibilities:
specifically the care, protection and safeguarding of
ROM collections, property, premises and resources
Required board task force to develop and monitor
policies to articulate Museum’s mandate, vision,
values and objectives, limits of executive authority
project co-ordinated through executive office of
Museum’s Chief Operating Officer
Fall 2001/Spring 2002 – 20 policies approved
Cover everything from health and safety to
repatriation of Canadian aboriginal objects
13. ROM Policy Development
Policies complement ROM Digital initiative:
Public Access – access to collections and
information resources a key responsibility
Copyright – prudent and fair use of its resources
and protection in real world
Information Management – information as a
corporate and organizational asset, includes
practice statement on use of IT resources
Publications – promotes core ROM activities
14. ROM Copyright Policy
Need for IP policy based on:
Recognition that information is a vital institutional asset,
central to the Museum’s role and purpose.
Recognition that information is increasingly seen as
commodity that can be purposefully used to further
institutional interests.
Demands for increased self-sufficiency, to build revenue-
generation.
Importance of intellectual property in creating ROM
programs, exhibits, products; need to comply with law in the
use of diverse intellectual property interests (liability). – ie.
ROM field guide series and use of images by curators
Inconsistent past practice at the ROM; potential to
negatively impact institutional interests.
15. Copyright Policy Process
No clear guidelines/principles in the Museum community that
could be easily adopted (professional associations, other
museums).

21. In Praise of Copyright Lawyers
“The first thing we do,
let's kill all the lawyers.”
Shakespeare, Henry VI, Part 2.
Methinks the bard should have written:
“The first thing we do,
let's kill all the lawyers,
except for Laura, Rina, Christopher,
Maria and Rachelle.”
