Hi everyone,

I hope you had a great new year! I'm going to start putting out a weekly update for the working group via the email thread so that people who want to stay involved can easily do so. 

From January 1st-5th, 2024, the working group had 2 meetings (one full biweekly meeting and one weekly small group meeting). Our current focus is on refining the vision statement, FDOF Presentation proposal, and RDA Blog post. If you want to help, reviewing these draft documents is the best way to get involved. Additional tasks include solidifying operations and communication channels (Mattermost, Google Groups, Google Drive, meeting archives, dPID website, etc.). 
I hope everyone has a great new year and thanks for participating!

Thanks,
Erik

Hi all,

Another great week in the dPID working group! The Mattermost has been a hotbed of conversation. If you haven't already joined, here's the link.  

The weekly update is as follows:
  • Meetings
    • Small Group Meeting - Andrei, Erik and Georgos discussed vision statement and initial funding strategies for the WG
  • Documents in Progress (review needed, all help is appreciated)
  • Conferences on our radar (please suggest others we should look into or let us know if you'd like to help)
    • ALA 2024 - Marshall is giving a talk on Link Rot and the Scholarly Record this Sunday
    • FDOF 2024 - Proposal written, official submission happening tonight. 
    • COS YoOS 2024 - Two presentations in the works, one from Elettra and one from The DeSci Foundation. More details to come. 
    • PIDFest 2024 - 
  • Grant Proposals on our radar (please suggest others we should look into or let us know if you'd like to help)
    • NLNet - NGI Zero Core could be an interesting and fast avenue for operational funds. 
    • OpenScienceNL - Infrastructure - Possible but scoping is important. Likely needs to include collaboration with Dutch Universities and include immediate, targeted outcomes (Decentralized CEDAR running on dPID was mentioned as a possibilty)
Thanks to everyone who participated. We've got a lot on our plate for next week, it's exciting to see things moving forward. If you haven't already, come join the fun :)

Thank you,
Erik Van Winkle

Hi Everyone,

Lots of progress this week! The weekly update is as follows:
  • Main Updates
    • The biweekly meeting is happening on Tuesday at 11AM EST, 5PM CET. Here's the zoom link, the focus is on continuing the institutional statement of benefits discussions. 
    • Last call on the RDA Blog Post, thoughts and comments appreciated
    • DeSci Labs is co-hosting a hackathon with the creators of IPFS at the end of this month. The tracks are DIDs and Permissions, Compute over Data (Data Visiting), Funding and Incentive Design, Open State Data Networks, FAIR and Semantic Publishing, and AI in Open Science. Two things: 
      • We have an open call for hackathon ideas, does anyone from this group have problems that they want POCs for? No promises, but we can always float ideas out. The invitation hasn't officially opened yet, we already have over 100 developers signed up.
      • Would anyone here be interested in either virtual or in-person attendance? Let me know and we can figure something out. 
    • EuCoMeS Submission was sent out
  • Documents in Progress (review needed, all help is appreciated)
    • Logan has been hard at work on the Grants Listings - The process of prioritizing is starting now, come help out!
    • See the RDA Plenary "Birds of a Feather" Session writeup. I'm still debating on submission, but it's interesting content nonetheless. Does anyone have thoughts? Additionally, are there any plenary sessions we should tie into pre-submission? Always happy to chat with folks. 
    • ICSSI submission is in early draft, ideas and comments appreciated. The title is "Past the Landing Page: Metrics for Enhanced Reproducibility Based on Upgraded Persistent Identifier Technologies"
    • Machine Actionable Journal Proposal for various groups is in the early draft stage, ideation appreciated
  • On the Radar (things we could use your help with)
    • Dissemination of the Initial POC to interested parties
  • And finally, a warm welcome to our newest group members! We're growing fast!

        Hi Andrei and all:

        Thank you for your hard work on all the coding efforts and socializing of the DPIDs.  

         

        I have been away for a while, so please apologies if you already discussed this topic.  My question is related to the FDO presentation at the FDO Implementation meeting at end of March:  Are there slides in progress?  How long are we supposed to present for?     Does FDO organization require the use of their template  for slides? (they did in Leiden).

         

        I”ll be happy to contribute when the slides are further along.

         

        Best wishes,

        Hi Line,

        The plan Chris, Andrei, and I came up with was to...
        • Give more details on the top 3 (choosing between these 6) FDO Requirement Specs which showcase the native compliance of the decentralized web / dPID technology
          • G2: FDOs need to generate trust in accurate data survival over long periods of time, assuring researchers, funders, and developers that their significant effort in reusing them will be worthwhile.
          • FDOR-GR1: A PID, standing for a globally unique, persistent and resolvable identifier, is assumed to be the basis for FAIR Digital Objects. Every FDO is assigned one or more PIDs. 
          • FDO-GR11: A collection of FDOs is also an FDO. The content of collection FDOs describes its construction using an agreed formal language which specifies the relationships of the constituent members. An FDO may be a member of several collections.
          • FDO-PIDR4: The PID system which is used for the identification of FDOs must be global, robust, scalable, and demonstrate persistence.
          • FDO-PIDR5: The PID System which is used for the identification of FDOs must support high security capabilities. The owner, or owner-delegated agent, of a PID and its associated attribute-value pairs is the only actor allowed to make changes, to define accessibility to attribute-value pair information, and to request encryption of information.
          • FDO-PIDR6: Management access to the PID system needs to be secured by a public key infrastructure and if necessary the use of standardised certificates must be possible.
        • Talk about what we think an FDO typing system could mean for UI/UX work through the lens of DeSci Nodes. 
        The talk is only 10 minutes long, maybe 3 slides maximum (which we have not yet begun to create). Always open to suggestions, would you change anything around this approach? Also, we'll plan to use a simple slide format in case information needs to be changed later on. Thanks for the tip. 

        Thanks,
        Erik

          Hi Line,
