2008: campus-wide needs assessment

• What do campus users need today?

• What do they think they need tomorrow?

• What is hindering their research?

• 70% indicated need for short-term storage• 1-3 years

• 64% indicated need for long-term preservation of data sets

• and…data management help, metadata creation, tools for sharing, etc.

Digital Asset Management System(DAMS)

• Existing technology framework– House and deliver digital objects and associated metadata

• Data model challenges– Research data = greater depth and complexity– Categorization and ownership of research datasets– Filter on main application landing page allows browsing of Research or

Library collections– Rollout pending, user assessment to follow

• Branding and complex collection display– New data model: objects as linked data entities in an RDF triplestore– Hydra framework supplemented to support relationships and nested

structure

Metadata Processes

• Pilot phase: extensive consultation– What is an object?

• Understandable, usable, reusable• What should be displayed and shared?• Where should Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) be assigned to

support citation?

– Best practices and assistance with data organization• Logical, intentional collocation of files, data and metadata• Unique identifiers or naming protocols to clarify relationships &

linking

– Metadata functionality• Discoverability: controlled vocabularies• Usability: what programs or scripts are required

Research Data Curation Program

• The Research Data Curation Program supports Core Direction 3 of the Library Strategic Plan 2011-2014:– Engage with partners to make digital scholarly work

and data openly discoverable and accessible for the long term.o In response to the growing campus-wide data management and

data preservation challenges, the Library will actively support open data and open access by collaborating with faculty, researchers, students and other partners to ensure the long-term curation and accessibility of scholarly works in all formats.
