3 | 2 | Public | We wanted to provide this definition of "public" in order to point out the nuance of language: the idea of "public" in terms of online may have nuance that is different from a "public park." Not necessarily "free of costs," public-facing scholarship needs to consider assumed audience(s). Access/accessibility for different audiences (which also does not mean "dumbing down") includes technical access, ideological access, and the need to facilitate a common understanding for general engagement. | the group | noun | When we choose to go "Private" to "Public" on websites/accounts, who is "Public" we imagine?

Like other publications, a blog's authorship and the potential editorship should be critically understood when thinking about the content. Today, a blog may take on different forms as a democratic mode of informational posts by a collective or an individual, often using a linear/chronological organization. Scholars may share their conference proceedings, presentations, or other general thoughts in their blogs, which allow longform writing. | the group | noun/verb | N/A | tressie mcmillan cottom's blogs https://medium.com/@chanda https://www.jessestommel.com/designing-for-care/ | Medium.com, Ghost, Blogger, WordPress | publishing | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_blogging | ||||||||
11 | 10 | Digital Publishing | A series of choices that allows content to be available to the online public: in the academic realm, a broad view of scholarly publishing, encompassing not just "traditional" publications such as journals, books, and conference proceedings, but also digital creative works, data sets, digital humanities projects, online exhibitions, data visualizations, social media posts, podcasts/audio, video, and more. | the group | noun | N/A | this glossary http://centralcoastsnapshots.online/ Open Knowledge Systems (via Github) Data4BlackLives Covid-19 Data Campaign Colors: Digital Publication/ Kairos (Digital Scholarly Journal) https://the-clapback.com/ https://twitter.com/biblibot https://maintainersanonymous.com/ (Podcast form) https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/sprinkle/ | See everything in this glossary | Public, Data Visualization, Digital Exhibition, Video, | [icon] | publishing | |||||||

13 | 12 | Open Access | A digital publication that makes research information available to readers at no cost. In contrast to paywalled subscription-based access to academic literature, this does not mean that publications do not cost money to create (paid for by the university, the author, or other non-profits). Often used by scholars, libraries, and for-profit publishers to refer to a different monetary system of publishing. | The group, Cornell's LibGuide on Open Access, "Open Access" | adjective | not to reader, but to the publisher or sometimes to the author (APC: article pulbishing charge) | Directory of Open Access Journals OER Commons Critical Digital Pedagogy | OJS ( https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/); Digital Commons check in with jaime ?? | open educational resource, open source, data licensing, data | https://creativecommons.org/about/program-areas/open-access/open-access-logo/ | publishing | Scholarly Publishing; Archives; Libraries; Digital Publishing | ||||||

15 | 14 | Archive (n) | An organization that collects, organizes, describes, preserves, and provides access to records of continuing value. These organizations include corporate archives, community archives, cultural archives, and academic archives. We distinguish "archive" from "archives" because we want to point out the labor and expertise of the archive staff and the often hidden costs of long-term stewardship of records. Archives have historically been tied to the discipline of English-speaking, Eurocentric History and as a result have disproportionately prioritized collecting records relating to this dominant culture, prominent individuals, and government. At Kennedy Library we aim to move the archive away from this historic legacy and instead to work with the Central Coast community to represent and reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. | the group, Michelle Caswell "The Archive is not an Archives" | noun | $A million dollahs | Special Collections and Archives; National Archives (US); South Asian American Digital Archive; Interference Archive | the Archivist, Laura Sorvetti & Zach Vowell & Jessica Holada; pull from here? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gkfGb-l_PtFlql1FxmMTPc__kaO4c8t_3uii07JUgLQ/edit#heading=h.suv6354th98n | Archives, Digital Archive, Special Collections | storage | ||||||||
16 | 15 | Archives (n) | Records or documentation (typically written word, but also images, audiovisual recordings, art, objects) that are recognized as having ongoing value (historical, cultural, accountability, institutional decision making) and are actively preserved and stewarded by an archive (in a physical building, a digital repository with digital preservation functionality) for the general public to use. The records can be digitized (such as scanned), or created as a digital record in the first place. Human biases shape archives as collections, and the archives as a result need maintainence by collective efforts. | the group, see more: https://dictionary.archivists.org/entry/archives.html; B. M.

17 | 16 | Digital preservation | Digital preservation refers to the series of ongoing activities necessary to ensure continued access to digital materials for as long as necessary, beyond the limits of storage failure or technological and organizational change. Digital information faces many risks of loss, and digital preservation activities often seek to minimize those risks. For instance, more than one digital storage technology (technological diversity) is typically used for digital preservation. | Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC): https://www.dpconline.org/digipres/what-is-digipres; Zach | noun | see cost of an archive | disk imaging; fixity checking; storing digital collections in a disributed digital preservation network; software preservation/emulation; file characterizing/file format identifying; packaging files; preservation metadata; logical copying | Bitcurator, LOCKSS, Bagit/Bagger, MD5 (and md5sum, md5deep), Guymager, Siegfried (and other file characterization tools), JHOVE (and other file format registries) | Archive, Digital Repositiory; bit rot, Data Life Cycle | storage | ||||||||

19 | 18 | Digital surrogate | Digital copy of physical object, often created by archives to facilitate access to the material (not for preservation, per se). Digital surrogates are often created by archives and can be in a variety of file formats, including JPG, TIF, PDF, MP4, WAV. It often turns three dimension objects into 2-D representations, and important aspects of the item cannot be conveyed (such as the back of the page, size, smell, texture etc). Digital surrogates are still facsimiles. | The group | noun | N/A (cost would be for digitizing, or for getting a digital copy from the owner).

20 | 19 | Algorithms | a sequence of computer-implementable instructions, often performed by a computer but designed by people, teams and organizations. While in some cases code underlying algorithms may be abstract, when implemented in practice, designers' biases, values, and assumptions shape their algorithms. In addition, biases in datasets and real-world behaviors can create harm and have many unanticipated consequences. Algorithms must become more transparent, and open to critique by users; as a tool, they should not be seen as neutral. | the group | noun | N/A | Any digital tool that has a search or index.

21 | 20 | Open Data | Open data is data that has been shared to be freely used, re-used and redistributed by anyone - subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike. Open data often implies numerical (quantitative) values, but may and should include non-textual material such as images, maps, genomes, chemical compounds, and collections. When sharing open data, additional best practices include using open digital formats (CSV versus XLS), and including sufficient documentation, can aid in common applicability and use. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_data and group | noun | time cost to create data, make available, and host; this cost is not on the user but the creator and provider | Directory of Open Data Repositories | Open Data Handbook | https://twitter.com/Abebab/status/1321107566659833858.
