Book Usage Data Workflows - Technical Documentation

Description

Technical documentation for the Book Usage Data Workflows, hosted on Read the Docs.

This technical documentation contains a project summary and details on the telescopes, workflows and data services for the Book Analytics Dashboard. 

The Book Analytics Dashboard Project (2022-2025) is focused on creating a sustainable OA Book focused analytics service. This service is needed to safeguard and support diversity in the voices, perspectives, geographies, topics and languages made visible through OA Books. Funded by the Mellon Foundation, the Book Analytics Dashboard project is building on an earlier Mellon-funded initiative: Developing a Pilot Data Trust for OA eBook Usage (2020 – 2022). In addition to scaling workflows, infrastructure and customer support, the Demonstration Project is developing a long-term plan for housing, maintenance and funding of the analytics service as a sustainable community infrastructure.

The fully-functional Book Analytics Service is now operated by OAPEN, a trusted infrastructure for OA books.
