Part 1 | Comment archiver et référencer le code source de tous les logiciels? (Roberto Di Cosmo)

Le code source des logiciels contient une partie précieuse de notre connaissance scientifique et technique, et il est essentiel de pouvoir l'archiver, le référencer, le décrire et en citer les auteurs. Software Heritage est une initiative à but non lucratif dont l'objectif ambitieux est de collecter, préserver et partager le code source de tous les logiciels jamais écrits, avec leur historique de développement complet, en construisant une base de connaissances logicielle universelle.

Dans cet exposé, nous allons explorer ensemble quelques unes des fonctionnalités offertes par Software Heritage pour répondre à une variété de besoins des chercheurs et des développeurs, dans le cadre de la recherche reproductible et de la Science Ouverte.

Part 2 | The FAIR principles in action for Open Science (Mark Allen)

The FAIR principles for data are that they should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable. These principles are recognised as being key to enabling Open Science, and they and provide a very convenient way to discuss these concepts across different scientific disciplines. In this presentation I will outline the developments around FAIR principles as they relate to the vision of the European Open Science Cloud using the examples of astronomy data and the ESCAPE project. As one of the FAIRsFAIR project group of FAIR Champions I will highlight the benefits and challenges of informing researchers about how to create and use FAIR data.

Part 3 | Temporalité des données, temporalité de la crise, temporalité de la mémoire collective : la recherche en histoire sur la COVID-19 (Frédéric Clavert)

La soudaineté de la crise liée à la pandémie de la COVID-19 a engendré la mise en place de nombreux projets de recherche, y compris en sciences humaines et sociales. L'une des questions qui s'est posée dès le lancement de ces projets est naturellement celle du terrain: la crise de la COVID-19 se développe dans un monde de données et si l'on souhaite en étudier son histoire et sa mémoire collective en formation, il a été nécessaire de collecter des données, souvent dans l'urgence. En m'appuyant sur mon expérience et celle de mon centre de recherche, je tacherai d'explorer les différentes voies possibles de collecte, d'analyse et de pérennisation des données liées à la crise de la COVID-19.

Contributors

Roberto Di Cosmo is an alumnus of the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, with a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Pisa, Roberto Di Cosmo was associate professor for almost a decade at Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. In 1999, he became a Computer Science full professor at University Paris Diderot, where he was head of doctoral studies for Computer Science from 2004 to 2009. A trustee of the IMDEA Software institute, and member of the national committee for Open Science in France, he is currently on leave at Inria.

His research activity spans theoretical computing, functional programming, parallel and distributed programming, the semantics of programming languages, type systems, rewriting and linear logic, and, more recently, the new scientific problems posed by the general adoption of Free Software, with a particular focus on static analysis of large software collections. He has published over 20 international journals articles and 50 international conference articles.

In 2008, he has created and coordinated the european research project Mancoosi, that had a budget of 4.4Me and brought together 10 partners to improve the quality of package-based open source software systems.

Following the evolution of our society under the impact of IT with great interest, he is a long term Free Software advocate, contributing to its adoption since 1998 with the best-seller Hijacking the world, seminars, articles and software. He created in October 2007 the Free Software thematic group of Systematic, that helped fund over 50 Open Source research and development collaborative projects for a consolidated budget of over 200Me. From 2010 to 2018, he was director of IRILL, a research structure dedicated to Free and Open Source Software quality.

He created in 2015, and now directs Software Heritage, an initiative to build the universal archive of all the source code publicly available, in partnership with UNESCO.

Mark Allen is the Director of the Strasbourg Astronomical Data Centre (Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg) CDS. He obtained his PhD in Astrophysics from the Australian National University in 1998. After a postdoctoral position at the Space Telescope Science Institute (1998-2001) he joined the Observatoire de Strasbourg, and became a research scientist in the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in 2004. His scientific interests are the use of e-Infrastructures for advancing astronomy, and also the astrophysical processes associated with black holes at the centres of galaxies - Active Galactic Nuclei. He has served as the Chair of the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA, 2017-19), and currently leads a work package in the European funded ESCAPE project in the context of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and focused on FAIR data in astronomy and astroparticle physics and accelerator particle physics. He is a member of the FAIRsFAIR project European Group of FAIR Champions.

Docteur en Histoire contemporaine de l'université de Strasbourg, Frédéric Clavert est professeur assistant au Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (Université du Luxembourg). Ses recherches actuelles se concentrent sur l'étude des traces du passé sur les réseaux sociaux numériques en ligne et, au travers du projet Le goût de l'archive à l'ère numérique co-dirigé avec Caroline Muller (Rennes 2), sur les relations des historiens et historiennes à leurs sources primaires à l'ère numérique.
