4. TODAY
• Brief background on SHARE
• Description of Notification Service
• Early Lessons of Notification Service
• Hint of plans for Phase II
• Opportunities to Participate
• Questions & Answers
5. WHO & WHAT IS SHARE?
SHARE is a higher education initiative to
maximize research impact.
6. WHO & WHAT IS SHARE?
SHARE envisions an environment
where researchers can keep interested
parties seamlessly informed of their
activities, where funders can easily
determine the impact of their
investments, and where institutions can
readily collect and assess the output of
their community members.
7. FUNDING
$1,000,000 to develop Notification Service
and long term SHARE vision
March, 2014 through September, 2015
10. USER STORIES
As an IR Manager, I would like to know what output of our
researchers is deposited in repositories at other
institutions so I can approach them about a copy for our
collection.
I am a sponsor and I want to know what products have
resulted from the research I sponsored so I can determine
what additional revenue the original grant may have
generated.
I am the Director of Institutional Research and I’m tasked
with notifying campus stakeholders, including University
Communications and Office of Contracts and Grants, when
our university’s faculty publishes an article (or other
output) funded by an awarded grant.
25. RSS
• “Really Simple Syndication” designed
for blogs and breaking news.
• Struggles with large number of
updates at one time.
• Very easy to set up, a fun way to see
what flows through the Notification
Service.

31. PUBSUBHUBBUB
• Developed by Google
• “An open, simple, web-scale and
decentralized pubsub protocol.
Anybody can play.”
• Another way for “publisher” like
SHARE to inform “subscribers” like
our consumers of changes to “our
content” like our notifications.
32. RESOURCESYNC
• Developed by library community.
• Uses PubSubHubbub too.
• “A synchronization framework for the
web consisting of various capabilities
that allow third-party systems to
remain synchronized with a server's
evolving resources.”
35. STATUS AT END OF SUMMER
Planned for 3 platforms, 5 institutions, 2
agencies, and 5 publishers, 50 research release
events, including papers and data.
COS harvesting data from Clinical Trials,
DOE’s SciTech and Pages, PLoS, UC
eScholarship, Wayne State Digital Commons,
VTechWorks, NLM PubMedCentral, CrossRef,
arXiv, and DataONE.
Experimental RSS feed to see output.

38. STILL WORKING ON
Push protocol
Creation of a “push API” to make participation simpler for some
sources.
Consumption of notifications
Provide subscription methods
Recruit trial subscribers
Public release
Early 2015 beta release
Fall 2015 first full release
39. SOME EARLY LESSONS
Metadata rights issues.
Some sites not sure about their right to, for example, share
abstracts.
Metadata inclusion and consistency.
Most of our sources do not even collect email addresses of
authors, much less universal identifiers such as ORCID or ISNI.
Most sources make no effort to collect funding information or
grant award numbers. This data needs to be collected and
distributed to make effective notifications.
The need for a Phase II.
Some consumers will want the enhanced records it will provide.
40. METADATA RIGHTS
Does metadata gathering violate your terms of service?
If so, are we granted explicit, written rights to gather data?
Does metadata gathering violate your privacy policy?
If so, are we granted explicit, written rights to gather data?
Does our sharing the metadata we gather from you violate
your policies?
If so, are we granted explicit, written license to share the
metadata?
Do you use an explicit license for your metadata (for
example, CC Zero)?
If not, do you have plans to explicitly license the content?
41. VARIETY AND AVAILABILITY
• We accept that we will have a variety
of providers with a variety of
expressions.
• But we need some key identifiers to be
available in order to create effective
notifications.
52. INCLUSION OF IDENTIFIERS
• Researcher identifiers such as ORCID,
ISNI, and so on.
• Funding identifier such as FundRef.
• Grant award identifiers.
• Further metadata elements
encouraged by COAR, CASRAI and
others.
53. CONSISTENCY ACROSS PROVIDERS
• We can manage the variety.
…however…
• Consistency reduces errors.
• Consistency simplifies preparing for
new providers.
• Consistency will be required for push
reporting.
54. SOME USER STORIES MAY NEED PHASE II
As an IR Manager, I would like to know what output of our
researchers is deposited in repositories at other
institutions so I can approach them about a copy for our
collection.
I am a sponsor and I want to know what products have
resulted from the research I sponsored so I determine
what additional revenue the original grant may have
generated.

55. For Systems via Protocol API For People
SHARE
Notification
Service
SHARE
Registry
SHARE
Discovery
timely, structured,
comprehensive
organized and
related source of
linked data
searchable and
friendly
56. CHALLENGES
• Adoption of key identifiers just getting
underway, requires international
collaboration,
• Inferences prone to error,
• Duplicate detection difficult,
• Scale quite large, not well understood,
• This is a never-ending task requiring
sustainable funding and governance.
57. For Systems via Protocol API For People
SHARE Notification Service
including Phase II?
SHARE
Discovery
timely, structured, comprehensive,
reconciling incoming reports with what
we already know and can learn from
other sources
searchable and
friendly
58. PHASE II BENEFITS
• Researchers can keep everyone
informed by keeping anyone
informed,
• Institutions can assemble more
comprehensive record of impact,
• Open access advocates can hold
publishers accountable for promises,
• Other systems can count on
consistency of metadata from SHARE.
59. OPPORTUNITIES
• Sign up for monthly SHARE update
• Subscribe to the RSS feed
• Join the Beta in 2015
• Become a prototype participant
• Look for SHARE enabling guidelines
