Executive Director Christina Drummond will present a lightning talk on Cyberinfrastructure to support the scalable exchange of sensitive and proprietary usage and impact metrics across public and private stakeholders,

Library publishing stakeholders are invited to inform how an open infrastructure is sustained by and for the communities it serves. This workshop invites OA usage stakeholders to learn what the Data Trust’s International Data Space (IDS) service will provide, to then explore and evaluate ways to sustain such a trusted, neutral data intermediary infrastructure within the scholarly publishing ecosystem.

Specifically participants will:

• Learn about the OAEBUDT effort and the IDS infrastructure

• Consider the strengths and weaknesses of various cost-recovery oriented revenue generation options for non-profit open scholarly infrastructure, leveraging exercises from the Open Data Institute’s Sustainable Data Access Workbook and a preliminary business model canvas prepared for the effort by MoreBrains Consulting.

• Reflect on how sustainability models might impact trust, neutrality, and global participation, to explore mitigation strategies that address concerns.
