However, LEDCs typically have poorly resourced national research systems. If they cannot participate in research based on big and open data, the gap could grow exponentially in coming years. They will be unable to collect, store and share data, unable to participate in the global research enterprise, unable to contribute as full partners to global efforts on climate change, health care, and resource protection, and unable to fully benefit from such efforts, where global solutions will only be achieved if there is global participation. Thus, both emerging and developed countries have a clear and direct interest in helping to fully mobilize LEDC science potential and thereby to contribute to achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The initiative described here (African Open Science Platform or AOSP) is directed towards minimising a divide between emerging and developed countries in what is arguably the most important current opportunity to enhance the power and efficiency of the scientific enterprise and its contribution to societal benefit.", "@xml:lang": "en"}}, "doi_data": {"doi": "10.4000/proceedings.elpub.2018.25", "resource": "http://elpub.episciences.org/4610", "collection": [{"item": {"@crawler": "iParadigms", "resource": "https://hal.science/hal-01816711v1/document"}, "@property": "crawler-based"}, {"item": {"resource": {"value": "https://hal.science/hal-01816711v1/document", "@mime_type": "application/pdf"}}, "@property": "text-mining"}]}, "keywords": {"0": "[SHS.INFO]Humanities and Social Sciences/Library and information sciences", "en": ["Open science", "open data", "African Open Science Platform"]}, "@language": "en", "contributors": {"person_name": [{"surname": "Smith", "@sequence": "first", "given_name": "Ina", "affiliations": {"institution": {"institution_name": "Academy of Science of South Africa"}}, "@contributor_role": "author"}, {"surname": "Veldsman", "@sequence": "additional", "given_name": "Susan", "affiliations": {"institution": {"institution_name": "Academy of Science of South Africa"}}, "@contributor_role": "author"}]}, "publisher_item": {"item_number": {"value": "4610", "@item_number_type": "article_number"}}, "acceptance_date": {"day": "20", "year": "2018", "month": "06", "@media_type": "online"}, "publication_date": {"day": "20", "year": "2018", "month": "06", "@media_type": "online"}, "@publication_type": "full_text"}, "journal_metadata": {"@language": "en", "full_title": "ElPub - ELectronic PUBlishing"}}, "database": {"current": {"url": "http://elpub.episciences.org/4610", "flag": "imported", "type": {"title": "conferenceobject"}, "dates": {"posted_date": "2018-06-20 21:25:50", "publication_date": "2018-06-20 21:58:24", "modification_date": "2025-03-31 23:02:54", "first_submission_date": "2018-06-20 21:25:50"}, "files": {"link": "http://elpub.episciences.org/4610/pdf"}, "isTmp": false, "status": {"id": 16, "label": {"en": "published", "fr": "publié"}}, "volume": {"id": 339, "year": "2018", "number": 1, "titles": {"en": "Connecting the Knowledge Commons: From Projects to Sustainable Infrastructure"}, "position": "1", "settings": {"is_open": false, "is_current_issue": false, "is_special_issue": false}, "descriptions": {"en": "ELPUB 2018 marks the 22nd edition of the International Conference in ELectronic PUBlishing and the 10th anniversary of the meeting being held in Toronto."}, "has_proceedings": false, "bibliographical_references": ""}, "journal": {"id": 16, "url": "http://elpub.episciences.org", "code": "elpub", "name": "ElPub - ELectronic PUBlishing"}, "metrics": {"file_count": "372", "page_count": "744"}, "section": {"id": 88, "titles": {"en": "Long Papers"}, "position": 1, "settings": {"is_open": true}, "descriptions": null}, "version": 1, "cited_by": {"461": {"id": "461", "docid": "4610", "citation": "{\"0\":{\"type\":null,\"author\":\"Rediet Abebe, 0000-0002-5487-9108; Kehinde Aruleba, 0000-0003-3422-7046; Abeba Birhane, 0000-0001-6319-7937; Sara Kingsley, 0000-0001-9150-368X; George Obaido, 0000-0001-5049-9522; Sekou L.
