BOOK OF THE DAY

Rice biofortification: lession for global science & development / Brooks, Sally. Earthscan Publishing, London, 2010. 178p., ISBN 9781849711005. Pathways to Sustainability Series.

Biofortification - the enrichment of staple food crops with essential micronutrients - has been heralded as a uniquely sustainable solution to the problem of micronutrient deficiency or 'hidden hunger'. Considerable attention and resources are being directed towards the biofortification of rice - the world's most important food crop. Through an in-depth analysis of international rice biofortification efforts across the US, Philippines and China, this book provides an important critique of such goal-oriented, top-down approaches. These approaches, the author argues, exemplify a model of global, 'public goods' science that is emerging within complex, international research networks. It provides vital lessons for those researching and making decisions about science and research policy, showing that if this model becomes entrenched, it is likely to channel resources towards the search for 'silver bullet' solutions at the expense of more incremental approaches that respond to locality, diversity and the complex and uncertain interactions between people and their environments. The author proposes a series of key changes to institutions and practices that might allow more context-responsive alternatives to emerge. These issues are particularly important now as increasing concerns over food security are leading donors and policy makers to commit to ambitious visions of 'impact at scale' - visions which may never become a reality and may preclude more effective pathways from being pursued. Published in association with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)

Book of the Day

Book of the Day

A History of Japanese Political Thought,1600-1901 / Watanabe Hiroshi ; translated by Noble David; Published by I-House Press, 2012, ISBN-4903452247, 9784903452241, 543 pages.

In 1853 a flotilla of U.S. Navy warships led by Commodore Matthew C. Perry arrived in Japan. A scant fourteen years later the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, which had lasted two and a half centuries, was at an end. What lay behind the sudden collapse of samurai rule?Watanabe Hiroshi traces the quiet changes in political thought that culminated in the dramatic events of the Meiji Revolution in 1868. Confucian ideals such as a universal Way and benevolent government under a virtuous ruler possessing the mandate of heaven were taught by successive Japanese Confucians and came to permeate the country, posing an implicit threat to military rule. Over time the development of a national consciousness, the rising prestige of the imperial court in Kyoto, and increased knowledge of the Western world created the conditions for a national debate over opening up to the West-and for radical political change.Quoting extensively from contemporary sources, Watanabe provides a concise but wide-ranging introduction to three centuries of political thought in Japan. In examining the implications of applying Chinese political philosophy to a very different Japanese culture, he offers a fascinating look at early modern Japan, touching upon, for example, the sorrows of the samurai, avenues of protest for the peasantry, sexuality and the social order, and the excitement of new ideas and freedoms in the early Meiji Period.

Databib - An Online, Community-driven, Annotated Bibliography & Registry of Research Data Repository

Click here to access

A partnership between Purdue and Penn State Universities proposes the creation of a new resource called Databib that will provide a “spark” to help engage librarians in data services by providing them with an online, community-driven, annotated bibliography and registry of research data repositories. In addition to being an important reference resource to librarians, data users, data producers, publishers, and research funding agencies, the Databib platform will challenge the concept of the traditional bibliography by serving and integrating bibliographic content in Web 1.0, Web 2.0, and Web 3.0 environments in order to help overcome some shortcomings or perceptions of traditional bibliographies. One technology in particular, Linked Data, shows a great deal of promise for delivering a “web of data” (i.e., the Semantic Web) and giving librarians a new toolkit for describing and classifying data in a relational manner.

An expanded role for research libraries in digital data stewardship was forecasted by an Association of Research Libraries (ARL) workshop report to the NSF in 2006 [1]. This forecast was substantiated in August 2010 by a survey of 57 ARL libraries, of which 21 libraries reported that they currently provide infrastructure or support services for e-Science, and an additional 23 libraries are in planning stages [2]. A number of academic and research libraries are beginning to take a more active role in data management on their campuses, applying library science principles to help address the data deluge. This includes a wide range of activities such as helping researchers formulate funder-required data plans, adapting library practice to help organize and describe research datasets, developing data collections and data repositories, digital preservation, and data literacy.

Librarians are in a good position to provide these services; unfortunately, there is currently no framework in place to support the organization and discovery of data repositories. Many funding agencies are requiring their sponsored researchers to submit their data to repositories without giving further instructions to them. What repositories are appropriate for a researcher to submit his or her data to? How do potential users find appropriate data repositories and discover datasets that meet their needs? How can librarians help patrons who are looking for data find and integrate it into the patrons’ research, learning, or teaching? Databib will begin to address these needs for librarians, data users, data producers, publishers, and funding agencies.

The deliverables of this nine-month project will be 1) a functional and useful Databib platform as described in the project design; 2) the original description and annotation of primary repositories of research data represented by records in Databib; 3) a rubric for evaluating new repositories for inclusion in Databib; 4) documentation and supporting activities to catalyze a community of bibliographers; and 5) a white paper written for IMLS that describes the project design and provides an analysis of the project's results in terms of meeting these outcomes. A small panel of advisers will provide guidance throughout the project as well as to periodically review progress and give input to maximize the effectiveness of the project. The project’s design and evaluation plan establish measurable goals and outcomes for software development, the creation of new Databib records by both project personnel and community bibliographers, the number of integrations accomplished, usage statistics, and user feedback. All source code, content, and data will be sharing and dedicated to the public domain using Creative Commons Zero 1.0.

Databib is supported in part by a Sparks! Ignition National Leadership Grant (LG-46-11-0091-11) from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
