Update. "Amid DOGE-induced turmoil, National Science Foundation in crisis."

"The 75-year-old government agency [#NSF] has one function: keep the U.S. science enterprise at the leading edge. In the past two weeks, however, the $9 billion agency, which exists entirely to fund science researchers, projects and facilities…hit reverse on its main mission."

Frisch gebloggt: Was heißt eigentlich „nachhaltig“ im Forschungsdatenmanagement?
In einem intensiven Workshop & vielen Diskussionen haben wir in der AG Greening DH Empfehlungen erarbeitet. Ein Anfang ist gemacht und jetzt seid Ihr dran.
Feedback willkommen!

I have updated the plot for timing of the peak in the cherry blossom season (満開) for Kyoto. Records of the peak go back 1200 years! 2025 was tied with the third earliest blooming, happening on March 27. The timing of the peak of the cherry blossoms is getting earlier, as a result of warmer temperatures in February and March.

We introduce the "Corpus of Resolutions: UN Security Council (CR-UNSC)", a novel international legal-political dataset containing texts and metadata for all resolutions of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) from resolution 1 (1946) through resolution 2722 (2024), as published by the UN Digital Library (UNDL).

Pre-Print: https://zenodo.org/records/15191558/files/Fobbe-Gasbarri-Ridi_2025_Words-of-Power-Introducing-UN-Security-Council-Resolutions-Corpus.pdf?download=1

The dataset provides full resolution texts in all six official UN languages, draft texts and full meeting records in English, as well as dozens of metadata variables, for a grand total of 82 variables in structured tabular CSV format, accompanied by extensive narrative documentation. In addition to the main tabular dataset the CR-UNSC is accompanied by specialized variants for network analysis and bibliography management.

The computational workflow is engineered as a fully automated end-to-end extract-transform-load (ETL) data pipeline with citation analysis and NLP components, unit tests and extensive reporting. The declarative workflow is fault-tolerant, resumable and stores intermediate results in over one hundred individual checkpoints. The code is published open source under the GNU General Public License Version 3 (GPLv3).

We intend to update the corpus at least once per year.

The most recent version of the CR-UNSC corpus will always be available open access via Zenodo through its Concept DOI located at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7319783

@felwert @alizhorvathaliz @djwrisley @dariaheu Thank you for the kind feedback, Frederik 😊 ! It would be great if we had more multilingual DH „user data“ gained through realtime faculty-library interviews and to share and built requirement lists from them… it requires more staff resources & time though… but we will keep going!

Okay guys, we’re gonna try this again. This time, be nicer.

Also wenn tatsächlich Dorothee #Bär, die noch 2017 bei #Maischberger den menschengemachten #Klimawandel nicht glauben wollte, neue #Bundesministerin für #Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt werden sollte, dann sind wir wieder einen ganz großen Schritt näher an Trumps Regierungsclub in den #USA.

I'm currently migrating my #OpenSource projects from #GitHub to #Codeberg and I have to say I'm impressed.

+ Codeberg web interface is much (!) faster and more responsive compared to GitHub
+ Git clone and push feel about twice as fast as GitHub (not that it matters much)
+ Much cleaner interface than GitHub, less bloat and less featuritis
+ Codeberg activity overview is very helpful and well organized
+ Codeberg migration tool works well

Note: the OSS git software that Codeberg runs is called Forgejo.

Of course Elsevier's "enhanced pdf viewer" tracks where you click, view, if you hide the page, etc. and then transmits a big base64 blob of events along with ID from University proxy when you leave. I'm sure straight to SciVal for sale.
Is this the way we want science to work?

These 'Draft PCC Guiding Principles for Use of AI and Machine Learning Technologies in Cataloging and Metadata Work' are great! I kinda wish I'd seen them before drafting our BL guidelines for ethical AI as 'AI usage should be beneficial' is a very elegant phrase

Academic publishing is a multibillion-dollar industry. It’s not always good for science https://theconversation.com/academic-publishing-is-a-multibillion-dollar-industry-its-not-always-good-for-science-250056

Soeben haben wir für NFDI4Culture die Förderempfehlung der DFG für unsere zweite Projektphase in den Jahren 2025-2030 erhalten! Natürlich steht die finale Entscheidung im Juli 2025 noch aus, aber wir glauben fest an eine postive Entscheidung der Gemeinsamen Wissenschaftskonferenz (GWK) zur Weiterförderung.
Wir gratulieren sehr herzlich allen Konsortien der ersten Förderrunde, die diese Nachricht heute erhalten haben und freuen uns, gemeinsam die Segel für die zweite Phase zu setzen!

How did #UnivofStAndrews benefit from, participate in, or support, British colonialism? Our report 'The University of St Andrews and the legacies of empire, 1700-1900' is now available https://legacies-of-empire.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/

The detail of our findings may be of most interest to those closely associated with #standrews #Fife and #Tayside, or #Scotland; but I hope that our approach will be of interest to a wider audience. #history #histodons
