1 DRAFT AGENDA as of July 26, 2018 American Association for the Advancement of Science 1200 New York Avenue, NW Washington, DC :00 9:00 a.m. Registration, breakfast, and coffee 9:00 9:30 a.m. Introductions and Welcome Heather Kotula, Access Innovations, Inc. 9:30 10:15 a.m. Leveraging Data Harmony for Taxonomic Enrichment at AAAS Zdenek Becka, American Association for the Advancement of Science Join Zdenek Becka for a survey of how Data Harmony is leveraged for taxonomic enrichment at AAAS. Zdenek will showcase a few past and current projects while discussing typical use cases for taxonomic enrichment at AAAS. Learn how those use cases are supported by internal integrations with Data Harmony and take a glimpse at the rest of the technology stack AAAS uses to deliver taxonomic enrichment across the organization. 10:15 10:45 a.m. Break 10:45 11:15 a.m. From Vision to Reality: Redesigning McGraw-Hill s AccessEngineering Website Around a New, Complex Set of Taxonomies Lauren Sapira, McGraw Hill Education McGraw-Hill needed a way to help students, faculty and engineers find the right content on the site. The biggest complaints we were receiving were around the quality of search results. And our browse pages were labor-intensive and unwieldy to use or maintain. So we set out to create a set of taxonomies to drive a redesign of the site UX and search and now we re building the new platform around these taxonomies. Learn about our challenges and successes so far as we get ready to launch in :15 12:00 p.m. Vendor Wrangling for Taxonomy Implementation Moderator Bob Kasenchak, Access Innovations, Inc. s Levi Birka, American Association for the Advancement of Science Chris Rudyj, Health Affairs

2 Narges Khodaei, American Society of Clinical Oncology Duane Degler, Design for Context Our clients often have to interface with their other vendors (and vendor systems) to fully leverage their investments in taxonomy programs. Publishers, for example, must deal with manuscript submission, markup, and platform vendors to see that their taxonomies (and indexed content) are implemented in search and the peer review process. This process can be time-consuming and problematic, and often involves writing detailed specifications, custom programming requests, and systems integration. Our panelists will discuss their challenges, approaches, and solutions to vendor education including success stories as well as failures. 12:00 1:00 p.m. Lunch 1:00 1:30 p.m. A Little Python Goes a Long Way: Manipulating XIS Metadata Jeff Froustet, American Society of Civil Engineers At the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), we have been using XIS to power our bibliographic database for three years. Last year, we started to use Python to perform additional data manipulation and enhancement, such as capturing metadata from publication source files, standardizing variations, checking for inaccuracies, and transforming it into different formats. Paired with the flexibility of XIS, Python has enabled us to do more with our metadata. 1:30 2:00 p.m. Knowing What You Have: Using Taxonomies to Inventory Digital Content Across Platforms Travis Hicks, American Society of Clinical Oncology Looking to help cross-departmental teams inventory digital content based on similar characteristics across multiple platforms, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) created the Enterprise Content Catalog System. Powered by ASCO s three primary taxonomies, the tool offers the ability to execute a preset query across a series of agreeupon categories, as well as enabling users to create customized, more granular queries built upon taxonomy terms and Boolean connectors. During this session, Travis will offer an overview of the project genesis, specific use cases, design considerations and early lessons following the initial implementation. 2:00 2:30 p.m. Breakout sessions 2:30 3:00 p.m. Reports from Breakout Sessions 3:00 3:30 p.m. Responsive Taxonomy for Emerging Topics Marisa Hughes, American Psychological Association An effective taxonomy must be responsive to emerging topics and issues, to provide optimal knowledge discovery. This is especially true in the rapidly expanding and interdisciplinary science of psychology. Marisa Hughes, Taxonomist in APA s Office of Publications &

3 Databases, will discuss the challenges in identifying and defining vital topics, and how this fits into the current ahead-of-print publication of cutting edge research. She will also discuss the publication process from poster sessions and dissertations to pre-publication before publication in a book or journal and how this data can be best leveraged for a comprehensive taxonomy. 3:15 3:30 p.m. Break 3:30 4:00 p.m. Integrating Taxonomies and Ontologies into Search Amy Rinehart, DowDupont Over the course of decades, DuPont's thesaurus has evolved from a hand written paper of suggested terms for a single discipline into a multi-discipline thesaurus that is fully integrated into the document submission process for technical reports. Data Harmony has allowed us to easily maintain a thesaurus of approximately 24,000+ terms (with 15,000 non-preferred terms) and automate the indexing of the content of the database. Our submission form allows submitters to upload a document, have it automatically analyzed, make suggestions for terms not found to enhance the thesaurus and add the indexing terms with the metadata and document to the database. Further automation allows us to specify subsets of content for analysis and add the terms directly to the database or export into a spreadsheet for human analysis. Exporting portions of the thesaurus has allowed us a jumping off point to develop product specific ontologies. This indexing allows our users an additional facet for searching which is especially helpful on poorly scanned documents from the past 100+ years. 4:00 4:45 p.m. Dynamic DOIs in Astronomical Data Joshua Peek, Space Telescope Science Institute Joshua will present an overview of the Barbara A. Milkulski Archive for Space Telescope's (MAST) recent exploration with Digital Object Identifiers. He will describe how the project was initiated as a partnership with the American Astronomical Society, and the goals of the project. He will explain how DOIs work at MAST, and their innovative solutions for authors who publish using MAST data. He will give some metrics and bibliometrics for the project, and discuss various lessons learned in adopting the new technology. He will outline some future plans, both in broadening the existing infrastructure and in developing new technological solutions to difficult data citation issues. 4:45 5:00 p.m. Wrap Up
