An International Data Space for OA Book Usage Data Exchange Across Public and Private Stakeholders
In this “Lively Discussion” Executive Director Christina Drummond will be joined by Michelle Urberg (LibLynx) to reflect upon the usefulness and potential of a “data space” for scholarly communications impact data given their participation in the initial OA Book Usage Data Trust data space technical pilot. Laura Ricci (Clarke and Esposito) will join them to reflect on whether the benefits of a usage and impact related data space would apply to additional scholarly communications outputs beyond books and usage data given the stakeholders and data flows involved.

Presentation | Charleston Library Conference
How an international data trust model can benefit those working with OA book usage data
In this “Lively Discussion” Executive Director Christina Drummond and Trustees Sharla Lair, Jennifer Kemp, and Dimitris Pierrakos will discuss the development of the data trust’s community governance, the role of board policy and the data exchange ‘rulebook’, and how the data trust can inform the exploration of national infrastructure to streamline public/private metrics exchange.
Community Consultation | Charleston Library Pre-Conference
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.

In this session, the library publishing community will have an opportunity to provide feedback on draft ethical principles, community governance structures, and data trust participation requirements drafted by stakeholders for community review. Participants will explore the importance of book usage data stewardship practices and policies, and why high quality, granular OA book usage analytics and reports may require detailed usage data to be exchanged in controlled environments as opposed to aggregate data harvested from the public web. Issues of privacy, transparency, community governance, security will be explored while considering whether specific use and reuse limitations should exist for book usage data shared across the book publishing ecosystem.

Workshop Report Out: National Infrastructure for Public Access Usage and Impact Reporting
Christina Drummond, Charles Watkinson, and Niels Stern talk provide an overview and reflections on conversations that took place at an April 2nd workshop on Exploring National Infrastructure for Public Access Usage and Impact Reporting.
—-
Compiling usage and impact metrics across public and private repositories, services, and publishers is a time and data science expertise-intensive activity undertaken by individual researchers, universities, libraries, and publishers. Challenges related to reader privacy, data ownership, and trusted use confront the exchange and reuse of this data. To advance Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) research impact reporting, on April 2nd, 2023, a National Science Foundation-supported workshop brought together stakeholders to explore how best to leverage shared cyberinfrastructure to support cross-platform systems integrations and ethical data processing that addresses concerns related to artificial intelligence, machine-based aggregation and the use of scholar-specific impact data. Stakeholders advanced four strategic collaboration opportunity areas that surfaced in a November 2022 Association of Research Libraries (ARL) survey of research data organizations, specifically addressing how to facilitate economies of scale for the reporting and analysis of usage data related to publicly accessible scholarship outputs. This panel will feature perspectives on these issues from library, repository, and data platform workshop participants while providing the first summary of the workshop findings. Topics to be addressed will include: a) challenges to cross-platform public and open impact analytics at scale, b) open infrastructure opportunities to improve the FAIRness of usage data, and c) identified gaps in the national infrastructure for scholarly output impact reporting.
Presentation | NISO Plus 2023
This session brings together different perspectives to consider these questions: an OA publisher, a research infrastructure, an emerging usage data trust, and a usage analytics service provider. We’ll walk through what’s known, and then start to unpack the questions for which we don’t yet have answers. Our goal is to inform community understanding of the challenges ahead and, hopefully, start to lay the groundwork for constructive policies and shared solutions.
