<br />
It is well known in the ANDS community that ANDS aims to make data reusable by more researchers more often. All projects funded under the ANDS applications program have demonstrated by making data available to researchers; by combing, cleaning and integrating data from a myriad of data sources, and by visualising data for easier exploration; researchers can do a range of things they could not do before or do their existing research in a more efficient way. An outcome of the application program is to advance in science and technology through sharing and reusing data. <br />
<br />
Advance in research and science will consequently benefit to the society. Some contributions require more effort and thus benefit will be shown in a longer term. For example, the output from the <a href="http://ap27-cgla.blogspot.com.au/">Cancer Genomics Linkage Application</a>, the <a href="http://intersectaustralia.github.io/ap11/">Proteomic-Genomic Nexus</a>, <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/ozhupohpp7.com/thehumanproteomebrowser/project-updates/theproteomebrowser-asoftwareresourceforthechromosome-centrichumanproteomeproject">the Proteome Browser</a>, the <a href="https://confluence-vre.its.monash.edu.au/display/MKIA/Xglom+-+Multimodal+Kidney+Image+Analysis+Home">Xglom - Multimodal Kidney Image Analysis</a> and <a href="http://tissuestack.blogspot.com.au/">TissueStack</a> are contributing to internationally coordinated efforts in studying human genetics disease and finding treatments for patients who suffer from pancreatic cancer or kidney disease. Advances in these fields will lead to improvement of our quality life. The projects <a href="http://soils2satellites.blogspot.com/">Soils to Satellites</a>, <a href="http://episat-software.blogspot.com.au/">Ecosystem Production in Space and Time</a>, <a href="http://ccaih.org.au/">Climate Change Adaptation Information Hub</a> will contribute to the understanding of our environments, thus we can act accordingly to make our environment sustainable.<br />
<br />
Some ANDS applications projects directly benefit a range of government agencies and the public in the short term. For example, the project <a href="http://www.postool.com.au/cbeh/pos/welcome/">Positive Places: spatial analysis of public open space</a> has created a <span style="font-family: inherit;">first-of-its-kind,
web-based geospatial tool. The project director Fiona Bull commented that: The tool can be used by the general public to look up their nearest parks or check if the park they intend to go to has </span>facilities<span style="font-family: inherit;"> like toilets and barbecues. More importantly it can be used by planners to ensure we preserve and optimise our green spaces. </span>Mingfang Wuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17038873916495421311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780420768671808663.post-33958538321188026232013-10-30T17:40:00.004-07:002013-10-30T17:46:06.989-07:00<b>Sustainability of ANDS Applications Projects</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
Recently, ANDS has congratulated <a href="http://ands.org.au/news/andsnapshot.html#uqbmnrts">a number of applications</a> projects for their successfully completion. Yet, to many projects, the end of the ANDS project is just the beginning. After having delivered their software related deliverables and announced <a href="http://tissuestack.blogspot.com.au/2013_04_01_archive.html">TissueStack 1.1</a> in April, the <a href="http://tissuestack.blogspot.com.au/">TissueStack</a> development team has had consequent releases of <a href="http://tissuestack.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/version-12-available.html">TissueStack 1.2</a> in August and <a href="http://tissuestack.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/version-13.html">TissueStack 1.3</a> in October. Moreover the team, together with their collaborators, has won an ARC linkage grant (2013-2015) for further research and development of the <a href="http://www.tissuestack.org/desktop.html">TissueStack</a>.<br />
<br />
A number of other projects have also laid out possible future developments. For example, the launch of the <a href="http://www.postool.com.au/cbeh/pos/welcome/">POS (Public Open Space) portal </a> at a Parks and Leisure Australia workshop has attracted a lot of interests, <a href="http://positiveplaces.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/project-team.html">the team</a> has been considering possible future development of bringing in new datasets into the portals and enhancing the existing functionality of the portal to satisfy information need of stakeholders and end users.<br />
<br />
The applications projects have been driven by research communities and end users. The projects have adopted a similar agile software development process: researchers identify gaps between their research need for data and the use of existing available data, development team work closely with researchers to elicit their needs and to have researchers evaluate each implementation in regular sprints. In many projects, researchers actively gather requirements from their research community, sometimes, they have to give way of their own needs to a genuine need in a research community. This genuine involvement of research communities ensure software sustainability and a long term funding future.<br />

The <a href="http://ands.org.au/news/andsnapshot.html#muhcpip">congratulation message</a> provides links to various project information sources, such as<a href="http://www.proteomebrowser.org/tpb/home.jspx"> the online application portal "The Proteome Browser (TPB)"</a>, <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/ozhupohpp7.com/thehumanproteomebrowser/home">the project Wiki</a>, and <a href="http://code.google.com/p/hupohpp/">source code deposit</a>. Apart from these links, <a href="http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/pr3010056">this article</a> ("The Proteome Browser Web Portal") published by <i>Journal of Proteome Research (2013, 12(1):172-8) </i> provides concise information about the project's background and the application's data structure, software design and user interface.<br />
<br />
The project was a response to a Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) initiative that aims to catalogue the protein information arising from the plethora of worldwide proteomic based studies. The project took a gene- or chromosome-centric approach (C-HPP), and aimed to link the proteome with the underlying genome. The project has implemented Phase 1 with ANDS funding. The resulting tool TPB from Phase I applies traffic light to indicate presence of each gene in a selected Chromosome; four data sources are used to decide a gene's presence. The project is continuing Phase 2 to integrate potentially 4 additional data sources. Future work may also include an extension of TPB that will enable registered users to add their own data and analyse user-defined gene sets.<br />
<br />
Like many applications projects, the close involvement of researchers in the software development process contributed greatly to the project's success. I joined the project as an ANDS CLO at a late stage in the project, after the departure of my ex-colleague Dr. Jeff Christiansen. In the last 2 or 3 project sprints I attended, I was impressed by how deeply researchers were engaged in the development process. For example, in a sprint about user interface testing and analysis, the researchers asked their national and international colleagues to test the user interface and they paid attention to every interface design detail - even a symbol's position or a display color.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The
ANDS-funded SMART Infrastructure Dashboard under development at the University of Wollongong’s <a href="http://smart.uow.edu.au/index.html">SMART Infrastructure Facility</a> was officially launched on 9
November 2012, at the “<a href="http://www.uow.edu.au/research/illawarrafutures/cultofinnovation/index.html">Culture
of Innovation</a>” Symposium, part of the new <a href="http://www.uow.edu.au/research/illawarrafutures/index.html">Illawarra

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The SMART
Infrastructure Dashboard provides visual, graphical and geospatial data
analysis capabilities using publicly available infrastructure utility data.
This information, crossed with relevant regional, state and national-level
figures from demographics and economics, constitutes a robust foundation for
powerful infrastructure analytics. The dashboard acts as a customer centric
portal providing easy, transparent and intuitive access to primary data and
information creating a better understanding of the complex relationship between
infrastructure operations and uses across major utilities. It offers a flexible
collaborative platform to local planners, researchers, business analysts and
citizens.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Professor
Pascal Perez presented the SMART Infrastructure Dashboard to an audience
representing a number of Illawarra Businesses, federal and state government
agencies, local councils, as well as the University of Wollongong. His
presentation included a series of scenarios illustrating how the dashboard
could help service providers and consumers make more informed decisions. A
lively Q&A session followed, with a number of councils interested in
getting involved and providing their data.</span><br />

An ANDS funded project, <a href="http://www.climddir.org/">Climate Model Downscaling Data For Impacts And Adaptation Research (CliMDDIR, AP04)</a>, has just announced software connection for its project web portal. The project aims to provide climate change impacts researchers with high resolution RCM-derived datasets in a timely manner and in a useful format.<br />
<br />
The project is building a software system that will allow climate impacts researchers identifying and examining suitable downscaled climate change data sets, manipulate the
data to add value, and export data in formats useful to their research. The targeted impacts research areas may include: agriculture, hydrology, health and ecology impacts. The researchers from the areas have been closely involved into the software development.<br />
<br />
Here is what <a href="http://www.ljbeaumont.com/">Dr. Linda Beaumont from Macquarie University</a> was talking about a data problem faced by climate impacts researchers and why getting the CliMDDIR data matters to the researchers:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The impacts community has lacked consistent tools, with data being delivered in a variety of formats and at a coarse resolution that has often made them difficult to use. The CliMDDIR project will allow us to get our hands on up-to-date data and make more accurate assessments of climate change impacts. Currently, there is a substantial time-lag between when climate modellers develop data and when it becomes available to the impacts community in a useable format.

Tropical Data Hub Launch at JCU</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Senator Chris Evans, the Minister for Tertiary Education,
Skills, Science and Research, recently launched the Tropical Data Hub (TDH), <a href="http://tropicaldatahub.org/">http://tropicaldatahub.org</a>, at James Cook
University in Townsville. The Tropical Data Hub aims to provide
research-relevant data and information related to the Tropics worldwide. <a href="http://www.ands.org.au/">ANDS</a>
has provided funding for the TDH through the Apps program, with additional
funding from the Queensland Cyber Infrastructure Foundation, <a href="http://www.qcif.edu.au/">QCIF</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ming and I were involved in some background help to JCU in
preparation to the launch, including identifying outstanding records related to
the Tropics in RDA, and providing comments on the TDH Web site. We now know a
lot about Tropical records in RDA!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanks to Catherine Brady from ANDS, there is also now a <a href="http://services.ands.org.au/home/orca/rda/topic/tropics">Tropic Topic
page</a> in Research Data Australia, showcasing collections, parties and
activities related to the Tropics. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Notably, Professor Steve Williams talked about the
importance of the TDH data to his research and Professor Tom Burkot talked
about the role the TDH has in the interface of his malaria research and policy
based decisions.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7780420768671808663" name="_GoBack"></a><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SnmPpe9sjA4/T8xDJ2l3tbI/AAAAAAAAAEo/3LSGYzEivxY/s1600/AP32_RDA.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SnmPpe9sjA4/T8xDJ2l3tbI/AAAAAAAAAEo/3LSGYzEivxY/s400/AP32_RDA.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
These RDA descriptions will allow the tool and datasets to be discovered by others around the world by using Google and other common search engines.<br />
<br />
For the technically minded, the underlying conceptual RIF-CS modelling for this system (showing the service, data collection and party objects and the relationships between them) is shown here:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-32CTC3KU8sE/T8w8-zeRrqI/AAAAAAAAAEU/mdMJLvo9cCY/s1600/AP32_Human_Chr7_RIF-CS_v2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-32CTC3KU8sE/T8w8-zeRrqI/AAAAAAAAAEU/mdMJLvo9cCY/s400/AP32_Human_Chr7_RIF-CS_v2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>NOTE however,</b> that the above information model includes some components that are not yet fully functional (such as the software system itself which is still under development), and it also describes some intended output collections that as yet, can't actually be created as the software tool required to make them is not yet functional.<br />
<br />
Therefore, only a subset of these descriptions of the system components have currently been published in RDA. These point to tangible existing objects (or in the case of the software tool, a RIF-CS service description explaining its current 'non-functional' status):<br />

<br />
We'd like to thank the attendees for coming along to what we felt was another very valuable day of community building.<br />
<br />
This time we had 16 attendees representing 10 projects, and once again there were excellent background talks presented by each project team (<a href="http://andsapps.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/list-of-apps-projects.html">the recordings of which will be linked from our project list when we've finished editing them</a>), and there was plenty of lively discussion on a number of topics of interest to the group which included:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>How to leverage technology synergies between the projects, </li>
<li>How to engage non-technical users of the software tools being developed, and </li>
<li>How to collectively engage public sector data agencies (in each State) to make data available for research.</li>
</ul>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.75pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">In the modern web it
is very important that your project consider branding in the form of a unique
acronym (or in web parlance, a 'tag' or 'keyword'). In fact, once you
have decided on what the project is going to try and achieve (after the initial brainstorm), the next thing the project should do is decide on a clever
acronym. Coincidentally, this usually tends to be one of the more
enjoyable aspects of the project as it utilises that puzzle part of your brain.
Just remember not to spend too much time trying to decide on which
acronym, and once you do decide your acronym, remember that it CAN NOT CHANGE. Otherwise,
see below for a quick couple of tests you can do below to check to see your
acronym is a good one that will help your project be found on the Web.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

through your project and giving a presentation at a conference. You come to the
final slide and provide a link to your project page. The people watching
quickly try and scribble down the URL. These same people go home and one
day, several weeks later, they are reminded of your project and want to look it
up, however they can't seem to find the URL that you provided. <b>The
solution</b>: a clever, memorable acronym (ideally with an
accompanying image or icon) can make all the difference, as instead of a person
having to remember a URL, they are able to just go to Google and type in the
acronym / tag from memory and quickly find your project. </span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

what a tag is but what is a “unique” tag? Below you’ll find a quick guide on
how to create a unique tag, or at least a unique-ish tag:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

projects description. Some requirements for a unique tag:<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 66pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 10pt;">§<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Your tag should be
6-12 characters in length and contain only letters (A-Z) and numbers (0-9),
e.g. “fedorazon”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 66pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 10pt;">§<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">The tag should be a
single “word”, no spaces should be in the tag. Though you are welcome to
compound words into a single word, e.g. “crm4uni”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 66pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">

should be included in the tag, i.e. no dashes (-), underscores (_), full stops
/ periods (.), commas (,) or any other character you’d have to press in
combination with the “shift” key on your keyboard to create. Just stick
with single “word” combinations of A-Z and 0-9.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for a tag, check your tag by going to Google, Bing and Yahoo search
engines and typing it in</span></i></b><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">.
If no more than a hundred or so pages come up with that combination
of letters and numbers you most likely have a good unique-ish tag. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<ul type="square">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Please note: To have
zero hits back from a search engine is obviously a truly unique tag,
though we recognise this is not easy to achieve. Ideally you want a
tag that is unique but also human readable, so make sure it is easy to
say out loud, as in “My project is “Shuffl” spelled with two “F’s” just
look it up on Google you’ll find it”.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333;"><b><i><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">(3) Make sure the world knows
what your tag means.</span></i></b><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> Provide
a page on the web with a matching URL describing what the tag means, for
example ANDS uses the tag #andsApps to tag anything related to the
programme of work relates to those collection of project. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<ul type="square">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> Also, make sure your
ANDS-Liaison is aware of your tag. Why? – because ANDS will look to
archive your project and collect all the info about your project
(including Web content, emails and reports). <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">A unique tag makes the initial
archive collection process much easier for us (as well as you and other
organisation like the Internet Archive who will preserve your blog in the
long term).<o:p></o:p></span></li>

everywhere</span></i></b><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> (see
ideas below) – not only because it will make it easier to find stuff but
because it will help increase your search engine optimation aka
“GoogleJuice”. Though for that to happen you must make sure to pass
your tag out so people will click on it lots (perhaps get some business
cards with the tag on it)!<o:p></o:p></span></li>

notes). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

having a tag we are able to start doing more quantitative analysis of data, for
example text mining on various collections of projects. If we fund
several technical projects we can text mine the data produced by those projects
to get an idea of what technologies are being regularly used or what is cutting
edge. This helps inform us on what kind of training events we should be
putting on or what new innovation spaces we should be exploring.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to use the hash symbol for other tagging tools. For Twitter it is
a good idea as it also enables you to set up a twitter archive (see Google)
where you can then have your tweets saved beyond the two weeks that twitter
keeps tweets!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We encourage you to talk / publish about your ANDS funded
Apps project wherever possible, e.g. by delivering seminars about your project,
producing on-line or printed materials such as newsletters, publishing Web
pages, etc. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Please acknowledge ANDS and ANDS/DIISRTE funding as
described in the </span><a href="http://ands.org.au/partner/acknowledgement.html" style="text-indent: -0.25in;">guidelines
that are found on the ANDS website</a><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">. This also applies to your project blog!
So, if you have such a blog,</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">please make
sure you acknowledge ANDS and ANDS funding as described above on every page.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please
let your ANDS contact know and give us a link to (or a copy of) the publication, seminar, etc.</span></span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Good news stories
about the software and how it is <b>adding
value</b> by helping researchers to do cutting edge research that wasn’t easy
or even possible to do before, are a key deliverable in all the ANDS Apps
projects, and a great topic to blog about.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These “Demonstrations
of Value” are expected to:</div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">result in data being transformed or
integrated across multiple sources to produce new forms of information
that enable innovative, high-quality research outcomes; <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">deliver value to at least one high profile
research champion;<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">be relevant to a range of government
portfolios<span class="MsoCommentReference"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">;</span></span> and <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">engage with National Research Capabilities.<br />
<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The “value message” (i.e. WHAT value has the software added to the
research process?) and an outline of the envisaged strategy for communicating of
the value message to a wider audience (i.e. WHO? will present the message,
through WHAT? media channels and WHEN?, will have been defined in each ANDS Applications Project
Description prior to contract signing.
These Deliverables will always require a high profile Researcher or Policy
Maker to publicly state that the software product is allowing them to conduct
research / develop policy that wasn’t possible before. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Blogging about the
dissemination activities by the high-profile Research or Policy Champion
themselves is perfect blog content, however any other stories about the project
and interest in the product by other groups within Australia and
Internationally are also excellent material for your blog. In particular, we
also would love to hear about demonstrations of value and other “good news
stories” that were not envisaged in the project contract - ANDS and DIISRTE are
very interested in hearing that their investment is having a widespread impact. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some blog post
examples of this latter type from ANDS Apps projects are from <a href="http://jcu-eresearch.github.com/Edgar/Development/2012/04/19/clustering-ui/">the Edgar project where the software
has been demonstrated to INBio, a Costa Rican NGO</a>, and from the <a href="http://www.ozhupohpp7.com/project-updates/tpbfeaturedinaustralianlifescientist">Human Chromosome 7 Atlasproject who have had widespread interest from the International Proteomics Community in their software product following presentation of the softwareprototype at the 6th AOHUPO Congress in Beijing</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>

Some questions to consider as you write this post: <br />
- Who are your customers (both leading edge and typical)? <br />
- What benefits will this product provide to each of those customers? <br />
- What problems do your customers have and how will this product solve them?
<br />
- We would request that specific customers be named including their expected
participation in the project (the customer should not be someone internal to
the team).<br />

- How efficient is the product compared to how the customer originally did the
task the system is replacing? <br />
- How is your product better than what already exists out on the Web or are you
just repeating what already exists?<br />
- Is the product perceived as high quality and reliable by the customer? <br />
- How do you enable your customers to independently review the product (how
does the project manager or other team members try and influence the customer,
is this reflected upon)?</span><span style="color: grey;"> <br />

should use a public and open code repository from day one of their project.
ANDS recommends that a meeting should occur at the start of the project between
the managers, developers and users to discuss how the code repository website
will be used to organise and iterate through the generation of the code, e.g.
are you going to use the wiki on the code repository to list features, or are
you going to use the bug tracking tool to list who is doing what, how will your
blog be used to announce when milestones or sprints have been achieved, does
this repository make sense to other institutions who might want to reuse code,
etc. Be explicit and talk about the little details right from the start;
even better, write down what you have agreed with regards to how the code repository
is going to be used on your development blog so that if others start to use it
they will know what the expectations are.</span><span style="color: #333333;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">ANDS recommends the use of either <a href="http://code.google.com/">GoogleCode</a>
or <a href="https://github.com/">GitHub</a>, and if your project intends on providing software that others can
use and reuse we would suggest the use of a branching repository like Git or
Mercurial so that code can be easily forked and re-joined with the trunk.
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">As per your project contract, the use of an
Open Source license like <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html">Apache 2.0</a> or <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GPL 3.0</a> is required for your
project deliverables and use of a creative commons license is recommended for
non-code resources. Please make sure licenses are not only listed on the code
repository but also listed in the README file and headers / code comments of
any files.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">Please approach your ANDS contact for any
answers, advice or guidance. </span></span></span>Jeff Christiansenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03822847287201974695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780420768671808663.post-71350025962599778032012-05-22T19:31:00.000-07:002012-05-25T00:37:01.691-07:00Key Apps Deliverable #1 – RIF-CS descriptions<br />

in making these records. Once crafted, the records will be assessed by an ANDS

display. The sample records approved at this time are expected to be then used
as the model for future RIF-CS records that will be automatically fed to RDA
