The Book Analytics Dashboard project (2022-2025) - a Mellon Foundation-funded project aimed at creating a sustainable open access book focused analytics service.

BAS

The Book Analytics Service, the product whose development from pilot to full service is supported by the BAD project.

Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative - a team of data scientists, software developers and researchers at Curtin University, Perth, Australia.

COUNTER provides the standard that enables the knowledge community to count the use of electronic resources. To have their usage statistics and reports designated COUNTER compliant, report providers MUST provide usage statistics that conform to the current Code of Practice.

Crossref is a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) Registration Agency of the International DOI Foundation, that makes metadata available for all DOIs registered with them.

Dashboard

A dashboard is an interactive, up-to-date (a.k.a. live) page of visualisations that aggregate and summarise data from different sources. In the context of this documentation and written with a capital letter, “Dashboard” refers specifically to those within BAS.

Data source

A public or pilot project dashboard partner source of data about open access eBooks and their usage, such as views, downloads or online mentions.

eBook

A book publication made available in electronic or digital form.

Google Books provides paid and free (open access) eBooks.

A service for capturing and processing institutional repository usage data, making it possible for institutional repositories and platforms to generate COUNTER compliant usage data.

Fulcrum is a “community-developed, open source platform for digital scholarship”. IRUS provides COUNTER standard usage reports for eBooks hosted on the Fulcrum platform.

IRUS provides COUNTER standard usage reports for eBooks hosted on the OAPEN library and platform.

A digital library which offers over 7,000 open access eBooks.

A "dashboarding" solution provided by Google, used to implement the Dashboards.

Open Access eBook Usage (2020-2022) - the Mellon Foundation-funded pilot project "Developing a Pilot Data Trust for Open Access Ebook Usage", and the precursor project to BAD.

OAPEN is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to open access, peer-reviewed books, that operates three platforms: OAPEN Library; OAPEN Open Access Books Toolkit; and the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB).

Open Access (OA)

By “open access” to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.

ONIX for Books (ONline Information eXchange) is a standard format that book publishers use to share information about the books that they have published.

SFTP

SSH File Transfer Protocol.

A data workflow that fetches and ingests data from a data source. Some telescopes run workflows that process and then output data to other places. Workflows are built on top of Apache Airflow's Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), where a DAG is “a collection of organised tasks that you want to schedule and run”.
