Realizing the Scholarly Knowledge Cycle:
The Experience of eBank UK
Liz Lyon
Director
UKOLN, University of Bath
This briefing includes an overview of the changing landscape of scholarly
communication and describes outcomes from the innovative eBank UK project,
which seeks to build links from e-research through to e-learning. As
introduction, some observed trends in e-research will be demonstrated
and their implications for institutional resources, systems and services
will be highlighted. The discussion will include an assessment of the
scholarly knowledge cycle and the role of digital repositories and aggregator
services in linking data-sets from Grid-enabled projects to e-prints
through to peer-reviewed articles as resources in portals and Learning
Management Systems. The briefing will also highlight technical developments
from the eBank UK project, including the distributed information architecture,
requirements for common ontologies, data models, metadata schema, open
linking technologies, provenance and workflows. Some emerging challenges
for the future will be presented in the conclusion.
