Agenda
1) arXiv Update - Introductory Slides (20 minutes)
...
In 2011, in collaboration with the NSF Data Conservancy project (http://dataconservancy.org/
), we launched a pilot interface that allows arXiv submitters to upload data associated with their articles directly to the Data Conservancy repository. Links to the data are added in the arXiv record automatically. This was a pilot project and we are in the process of finalizing the project. After analyzing the usage data (data submissions), we have decided that the best way to support data at this point is to bring the data from the Data Conservancy back into arXiv. We will assign unique and persistent IDs to every data set.
...
We'll use the EZID system from the CDL (http://www.cdlib.org/services/uc3/ezid/). Jim Mullins mentioned that Purdue is a provider of DOI's through the CDL program too. program. Jim is interested in participating in the research data support issues identified in the arXiv road map.

In celebration of the arXiv's 20th anniversary, on September 23, 2011 Cornell University Library (CUL) hosted a meeting at Cornell with the representatives from several publishers and societies that are interested in Cornell's sustainability planning efforts. There is a report that provides a synopsis of the discussion and recommends next steps for continuing this dialogue (http://www.miniurl.com/s/7p8). Since the meeting, the Cornell team had a couple of exchanges but we decided to wait and form a small working group with representation from MAB and SAB before continuing our work. One of the proposed sub-groups focuses on this work.

ORCID is a community-based effort to provide a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers (http://about.orcid.org/). arXiv is very interested in this work. Simeon Warner is a member of the initiative's board of directors.
...
We will be inviting members from the SAB to MAB and vice versa (as suggested in the SAB (to be completed in April'13 and MAB bylaws: [https://confluence.cornell.edu/display/culpublic/Member+Advisory+Board+Bylaws)\\]
Any news from SAB?
Steven Gottlieb (Scientific Advisory Board member) described the current process to reconstitute a physics subject advisory committee group. SAB is also discussing the possibly bringing on a Scientific Director. Steve noted that the development of bylaws has been very helpful as well as meeting face-to-face or online in between annual meetings is important.
...
The annual arXiv roadmap will be an important blueprint. We worked on the first one and it is available at https://confluence.cornell.edu/display/culpublic/2013+arXiv+Roadmap. We also need to think 3-5 years out and will engage both SAB and MAB in helping us set priorities.
