Item Packaging Research Data for Long-Term Preservation(2017-05-25) Adair, Ashley; University of Texas at AustinThe Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) partnered with UT Libraries in 2016 to prepare an initial deposit of research data into the Digital Preservation Network (DPN). TACC's use case for DPN presented interesting considerations for data selection, description, packaging and recordkeeping due to the size and complex nature of the datasets themselves, and because data arising from TACC’s grant-funded projects change custody according to award lifecycles, while DPN is designed to last “beyond the life spans of individuals, technological systems, and organizations.” This presentation will report on the approach taken to preparing datasets for understandability and usefulness in the long term and the strategy devised to manage ownership of deposited data over time.Item SHARE: A free, open, data set about research and scholarly activities across their life cycle(2017-05-24) Polk, Theresa; Adair, Ashley; University of Texas at AustinSHARE is a higher education initiative whose mission is to maximize research impact by making research widely accessible, discoverable, and reusable. To fulfill this mission SHARE is developing services to gather and freely share information about research and scholarly activities across their life cycle. SHARE is building its free, open, data set by gathering, cleaning, linking, and enhancing metadata that describes research activities and outputs—from data management plans and grant proposals to preprints, presentations, journal articles, and research data. This poster, presented by two members of SHARE’s pilot Curation Associates program, will present SHARE’s mission and work, as well as key technical features of SHARE 2.0, which launched in 2016.
