The next ARDC Community Data Lab co-design session will be focused on building tools for HASS research using 'Public Interest Documents' – this includes things like Hansard and other government documents. It's run next week on 25 Feb. I think it's important to get more historians involved, so sign up now to help shape the project. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ardc-community-data-lab-co-design-workshop-public-interest-documents-tickets-1245620206569?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=1 #researchInfrastructure #histodons #ozHist @histodons

Last week's grant freeze fiasco underscores the need for diversified revenue and community-owned solutions.
Our latest blog post examines the $16.5M+ in federal grants awarded to open infrastructure projects over the past 5 years, highlighting the precariousness of the space right now.
The ARDC is holding an event on 18 February to begin planning the next phase of the Community Data Lab (CDL): https://ardc.edu.au/project/ardc-community-data-lab/ If you're interested in developing digital tools and resources for HASS research you should go along!
I worked on phase 1 of the CDL and thought I'd put together some rough ideas on what the CDL might be and do: https://updates.timsherratt.org/2025/01/31/a-community-data-lab-cdl.html #GLAM #digitalHumanities #researchInfrastructure
ARDC · ARDC Community Data Lab Project | ARDCThe ARDC Community Data Lab will share tools and datasets for collaborative HASS research projects that use data from archives, libraries and collections.

Recently there were some invite-only discussions about National Digital Research Infrastructure, including one on #HASS & #GLAM. The questions and summary from the HASS/GLAM discussions are here: https://www.education.gov.au/national-research-infrastructure/resources/ndri-targeted-discussion-ndri-humanities-social-sciences-and-glam (h/t @Infoventurer)
Most of it's pretty obvious, but I'm encouraged by the concluding para: "Overall, rather than a single, all encompassing facility, the focus should be on developing an interconnected ecology of systems and tools, with emphasis on collaboration, accessibility, and adaptability to various research needs." So glad we're finally moving away from the idea of a single platform...
A researcher got in touch yesterday asking about saving digitised periodicals in #Trove as PDFs. All the various bits you need for this are in the #TroveDataGuide, but I hadn't actually pulled them together as a notebook. I thought it might be useful to others, so I've now created a #GLAMWorkbench notebook that helps you download all the issues of a digitised periodical as PDFs: https://glam-workbench.net/trove-journals/save-issues-as-pdfs/ Enjoy! #GLAM #histodons #digitalHumanities @histodons #researchInfrastructure
glam-workbench.netDownload issues of a periodical as PDFs - GLAM WorkbenchThis notebook helps you download the issues of a digitised periodical as PDFs. You can download all digitised issues, or specify a range of years to include.
Added another 17 entries to my list of publications citing the #GLAMWorkbench (or one of its related tools). There's now 83 in total. https://glam-workbench.net/citations/ #researchInfrastructure

There's a new National Digital Research Infrastructure Strategy out. Not sure of the value of these documents and how they get translated into something useful, but it's good to see people-focused issues like training and research software development highlighted. https://www.education.gov.au/national-research-infrastructure/resources/national-digital-research-infrastructure-strategy #researchInfrastructure

People often (well sometimes) ask me, how can I share this spreadsheet online for others to use and explore? So I wrote a little post about using Datasette-Lite for this and added a widget to the #GLAMWorkbench that mints the necessary urls.
I think it's a pretty useful hack to have in your #researchInfrastructure toolkit, so feel free to share. #histodons #digitalHumanities #openData @histodons https://updates.timsherratt.org/2024/07/19/share-your-spreadsheet.html
updates.timsherratt.org · Share your spreadsheet as a searchable online database using Datasette-LiteHASS researchers often compile data in spreadsheets. Sometimes they want to ‘publish’ this data online in a form that encourages others to use and explore – but how? I’ve just added a simple tool to the GLAM Workbench that helps you construct a url that will open a CSV file as a searchable database using Datasette-Lite.
What’s Datasette? Datasette is a fantastic tool that helps you publish your data as an interactive website.
The #Trove repositories in the #GLAMWorkbench have been launched 6,796 times on the myBinder service since 2019. Of course that doesn't include the ARDC Binder service, and all the other ways people might use the notebooks and datasets. #researchInfrastructure
The ARDC has received additional NCRIS funding 'to optimise and expand capability in the HASS and Indigenous, People, and Planet Research Data Commons'. https://ardc.edu.au/article/ardc-awarded-46-4-million-in-ncris-2023-funding/ #researchInfrastructure
ARDC · ARDC Awarded $46.4 Million in NCRIS 2023 Funding | ARDCThe ARDC has been awarded $46.4 million in NCRIS 2023 Funding from the Australian Government to optimise and expand the HASS and Indigenous, People, and Planet Research Data Commons.
Some details here about how and why the #GLAMWorkbench is including links to the ARDC's new Binder service to run Jupyter notebooks: https://updates.timsherratt.org/2023/08/31/run-glam-workbench.html #GLAM #researchInfrastructure #digitalHumanities
updates.timsherratt.orgRun GLAM Workbench notebooks on the ARDC’s new Binder serviceThere are a number of different ways to run the Jupyter notebooks in the GLAM Workbench depending on your needs and technical skills. But the easiest and quickest has always been the public, international Binder service, based in Europe. One click in the GLAM Workbench and Binder prepares a customised computing environment and loads up the Jupyter notebooks ready for you to explore. Unfortunately, the public Binder service has been having some capacity issues in the last few months, and sometimes repositories fail to run.
I've been playing around a lot with RO-Crate lately. It's a way of describing & packaging research data. Here's a post about how I've updated the #Trove Newspaper & Gazette Harvester to automatically document every harvest it creates using RO-Crate: https://updates.timsherratt.org/2023/08/31/some-important-updates.html #researchInfrastructure #rocrate #glam #digitalHumanities
updates.timsherratt.orgSome important updates for the Trove Newspaper & Gazette Harvester Version 3 of the Trove API is out, and version 2 is scheduled to be decommissioned in early 2023 – that means I have a lot of code to update! First cab of the rank is the Trove Newspaper & Gazette Harvester with version 0.7.1 now available.
The Harvester is a Python package that can be used as either a library or a command-line tool. It’s been around in some form for more than 10 years.
Today I've been working on generating RO-Crate metadata for all the #GLAMWorkbench repositories. Down the track this means details of all the notebooks, datasets etc could be harvested into another platform. I'm also working on updating the #Trove Newspaper Harvester so that it describes each harvest you create using RO-Crate.
More on RO-Crate here: https://www.researchobject.org/ro-crate/
This is part of the work I'm doing for tha ARDC's HASS Community Data Lab. #researchInfrastructure #digitalHumanities
Research Object Crate (RO-Crate)Research Object Crate (RO-Crate)RO-Crate is a community effort to establish a lightweight approach to packaging research data with their metadata. It is based on schema.org annotations in JSON-LD, and aims to make best-practice in formal metadata description accessible and practical for use in a wider variety of situations, from an individual researcher working with a folder of data, to large data-intensive computational research environments.
Yay! The ARDC's #BinderHub service is live! Researchers in Australian universities can now spin up #Jupyter repositories in locally-based virtual machines. https://ardc.edu.au/services/ardc-nectar-research-cloud/ardc-binderhub-service/ 
I'll be adding buttons & links from the #GLAMWorkbench to use the ARDC Binder service – just waiting for a problem with Trove to be fixed by the NLA. #researchInfrastructure
