OverviewContext• DISC-UK DataShare project, 2007-09 • Edinburgh DataShare current snapshotLooking inward• UoE RDM programme, 2012-14 (policy
implementation)• DataShare and related RDM servicesLooking outward• Towards integration: Registries & harvesting • Towards trusted repository status, standardisation• Towards citation, peer review of datasets• Towards confederation, replication, specialisation?
DISC-UK DataShare project, 2007-09
DataShare snapshot
Supporting UoE RDM Policy
“The University will provide mechanisms and services for storage, backup, registration, deposit and retention of research data assets in support of current and future access, during and after completion of research projects.”
“Any data which is retained elsewhere, for example in an international data service or domain repository should be registered with the University.”
• “Research data of future historical interest, and all research data that represent records of the University, including data that substantiate research findings, will be offered and assessed for deposit and retention in an appropriate national or international data service or domain repository, or a University repository.”
From Stuart Lewis, 2013: http://datablog.is.ed.ac.uk/2013/12/06/the-four-quadrants-of-research-data-curation-systems/
DataShare & related UoE RDM services
Towards integration: Registries & harvesting
• Databib in USA• Re3data in Germany (these to merge by 2015)• Thomson-Reuters Data Citation Index• UK pilot national data registry
Towards trusted repository status, standardisation
• Pursuing Data Seal of Approval as part of RDM Roadmap
• Joining DataCite via British Library:o metadata-complianto will offer DOIs shortly
• COUNTER-compliant with next platform release via IRUS-UK (DSpace patch)
Towards peer review, quality assurance
of datasets• 2013: Approached by F1000Research about
enabling workflow for DataShare depositors wishing to submit “data papers” to a post-publication life-sciences journal in 2013o 2014: Published new list of data journals for our depositors; working on
where in workflow to alert them to opportunities to get credit for data as research output
• Studying Data Quality Review by Peer, Green, Stephenson to see what we can do to make items in our repository more usable, reproducible
Towards confederation,
replication, specialisation(?)
• Members of UK-CORR and COAR repository communities
• Member of Research Data Alliance Working Group: Long Tail of Data
• Use of EUDAT replication service?• LOCKSS for data??• Shared services for IRs, for example with different
institutions specialising in different data???
Thank you (& no silos)
