Peter Kraker, Open AI for Discovery and Assessment: Open Knowledge Maps in academic and library practice
As part of this special session of the Open Science Working Group, Peter Kraker, Founder and Chairman of Open Knowledge Maps (OKM), will report on the use of open artificial intelligence in the OKM tools and discuss with us their benefits for research evaluation reform.
Open Knowledge Maps develops open, visual and AI-powered tools for academic discovery. We begin with an overview of Open Knowledge Maps’ non-profit, community-driven infrastructure. We then turn our attention to Custom Services and, by extension, to usage scenarios within an organisational context. The focus here is on how libraries and research institutions – as well as researchers themselves – can integrate Open Knowledge Maps into their own systems, services and strategic processes. Particular emphasis will be placed on VisConnect, an approach to DORA- and CoARA-compliant research assessment. Finally, we will address the topic of AI in the academic and library sectors. The focus will be on issues of digital sovereignty, transparency and sustainability: what role can open, community-driven infrastructures play in this regard? And what requirements does this entail for libraries and research institutions?
Participation
Anyone interested – whether you already have many years’ experience in the field of Open Science or are simply curious – is warmly invited.
We look forward to meeting you soon – or seeing you again!
