Working on https://opencontext.org , trying to do the right thing with #OpenScience & open archaeology. #Resist authoritarianism & work for a more loving world.
Here's a typical URI:
https://opencontext.org/media/48fb6172-647a-40f6-a576-e50d006a4f52
I also have an ARK id for it:
https://n2t.net/ark:/28722/k2q244j7j
The JSON-LD representation (https://opencontext.org/media/48fb6172-647a-40f6-a576-e50d006a4f52.json) says "owl:sameAs" for the ARK id.
I just want to maximize the probability that someone can look up the citation to an OC record over the years.
Ugh. #openscience #opendata problem.
I'm in that common and annoying situation where someone else's controlled vocabulary doesn't work for my specific/bespoke needs.
I'm suck in the category "other" for "publication_type" in Zenodo.
Ah.
That air-raid / emergency siren going off right now in my part of Berkeley is just in a routine test.
But, damn, given our current government, it really sends a chill down my spine.
Yet another rabbit hole to fall into.
John Kunze with CDL is a key architect of NOIDs, and he has lots to say about identifiers. Like everything else important, there is much to this subject.
I like ARKs. Cheap, easy to mint. PeriodO uses them.
No. I guess we're all trying to guess what the future will bring. I'm a little worried about identifier soup, but I want people to be able to formally cite a specific record. It seems then that some sort of persistent ID scheme, backed by institutions beyond our own, is needed?

OK. Back to integrating the Zenodo API onto Open Context.
Another question for the #beforemoderntimes #DH #openscience #opendata set.
Shall I use EZID to mint ARK identifiers for all 1.5 million URIs managed by OC? @paregorios will Pleiades plan on minting persistent IDs for all Pleiades entities or you happy with DOIs for data dumps, and not bother with persistent IDs for more granular data?
I'm just trying to judge what is a good use of my time, and what's broadly useful.

Yes. I'm finding I get less noise here.
Yep. Uh oh is right. Especially for the #openscience crowd, since they seem to run everything off Github.
Also, god bless digital libraries. They have a huge stake in the open Web, and they are some of the key players in maintaining open architectures for at least part of the Web.
taking another opportunity to say: god bless librarians (just got a very helpful response from one of nyu's reference librarians to my questions about historical precedents for various data visualization formats)
Yep. It takes some effort to move off Twitter. But, there's starting to be a critical mass of people over here. We just need to agree to talk on this platform, not the other.

Amazon threatens to suspend Signal's AWS account over censorship circumvention https://signal.org/blog/looking-back-on-the-front/
Amazon and Google are both coming out opposed to people using their services for domain fronting, to circumvent censorship.
Note that Signal is actively blocked in Egypt, Oman, UAE, and Iran. So, that sucks.
Lately it's become sort of a challenge to tweet less and less. I'll occasionally log in and see something like “Last tweet 6 days ago.”
And I think, I can go longer, let's see how long. It's a fun game that you too can play along with.
Glad it isn't just us. 🙃
Academic #archaeology frustration.
The SAA (Society for American Archaeology) has pretty good policies to support "green" (self-archive) #openaccess. But it seems those policies conflict with the actual copyright transfer agreement with the Cambridge University Press, contracted to actually publish SAA journals.
So, confusion.
