Tools for
Repositories: Microsoft Research & the Scholarly Information Ecosystem
Microsoft
External Research 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.
Microsoft External Research partners 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. This workshop will provide a deep
dive into several freely available tools from Microsoft External Research, and
will demonstrate how these can help supplement and enhance current repository
offerings. Come learn more about how the Microsoft Research tools
can help extend the reach and utility of your repository efforts. Each session
during the day will include a hands-on component so that attendees can gain a
deeper technical understanding of the available toolset, which includes the
following resources:
