As part of the Open Repositories
Conference<https://or09.library.gatech.edu/> currently being held at
Atlanta's Georgia Institute of Technology, Tony
Hey<http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/tonyhey/>, corporate
vice president of Microsoft Research's External
Research<http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/collaboration/about/default.aspx>
group, is today announcing the public availability of downloads of a
pair of tools,
Zentity<http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/zentity/> and the
second version of the Article Authoring Add-in for Word
2007<http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/authoring/>, part of
Microsoft Research's ongoing efforts to enhance the
scholarly-communication tools life cycle, as originally
announced<http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2008/jul08/07-28SoftwareToolsPR.mspx>
in 2008. These free downloads are the latest in a regular drumbeat of
releases from the Scholarly
Communications<http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/tc/scholarly_communication.mspx>
team within Hey's group.
MSR's Zentity is a research-output repository platform that provides
the necessary building blocks, tools, and services for developers who
are tasked with creating and maintaining an organization's repository
ecosystem. Furthermore, it provides an easy-to-install and maintain
experience for those who want to quickly set up a research-output
repository for their project, team, or organization. The platform is
based on Microsoft's technologies (SQL Server 2008 and .NET Framework
version 3.5 SP1) hence taking advantage of their robustness, their
quality support infrastructure, and the plethora of developer-focused
tools and documentation. New applications on top of the platform can
be developed using any .NET language and the Visual Studio 2008 SP1
environment. The platform focuses on the management of academic
assets-such as people, books/papers, lectures, presentations, videos,
workflows, datasets, and tags - as well as the semantic relationships
between them. In this latest release, developers can declaratively (or
at runtime) easily introduce their own asset and relationship
types. Support for various formats and services such as full-text
search, OAI-PMH, RSS and Atom Syndication, BibTeX import and export,
SWORD, AtomPub, RDFS, and OAI-ORE are included as part of the
distribution.
Dale Heenan, Web project manager at the United Kingdom's Economic and
Social Research Council (ESRC), has had an opportunity to implement an
early version of Zentity, a research-output repository platform that
enables researchers to store, archive, and preserve their work more
efficiently, as a pilot to investigate ways to improve and extend the
organization's Social Sciences Repository. "We have been impressed
with Zentity's flexibility and ease of use," Heenan says. "Our pilot
project has demonstrated that this innovative software could form the
basis of a new ESRC Social Sciences Repository which would better meet
the needs of the organization and our users. This is a promising
solution from Microsoft, and we look forward to implementing Zentity
version 1.0 over the coming months."
Microsoft External
Research<http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/collaboration/about/default.aspx>
strongly supports the process of research and its role in the
innovation ecosystem, including developing and supporting efforts in
open access, open tools, open technology, and interoperability. We
partner with universities, national libraries, publishers, and
governmental organizations to help develop tools and services to
evolve the scholarly information lifecycle. These projects
demonstrate our ongoing work towards producing next-generation
documents that increase productivity and empower authors to increase
the discoverability and appropriate re-use of their work. More
information on each of these tools can be found at:
