Item 2020 Dataverse Meeting Agenda and Notes(2020-05-27)Agenda and notes from the 2020 Dataverse Meeting.Item Capstone Project Case Study: Texas Data Repository (TDR) Dataverse Integration with R(Texas Digital Library, 2021-05-24) Pechenina, Anna; Boehm, ReidItem A Consortial Approach to Research Data Repository Services(2016-08-05) Waugh, LauraIncreasingly, funding agencies and journals are adopting data policies that require researchers to deposit underlying research data into a repository. The need for data management services is among the top needs consistently expressed by members of the Texas Digital Library (TDL), a consortium of higher education institutions throughout the state. In response, the TDL has developed a new consortial data repository service with guidance from its 22 members through a series of cross-institutional working groups. This presentation will be an overview of the process toward developing a consortial research data repository service and plans for outreach and implementation.Item A Consortial Model for Research Data Services Using Dataverse(2016-06-14) Park, Kristi; Steans, RyanThe Texas Research Data Repository is a multi-institutional project of the Texas Digital Library (TDL) to develop a statewide data repository for Texas universities. The TDL is developing the data repository service with guidance from its 22 members through a series of cross-institutional working groups. It has sought to respect the spirit of "loose federation" that has guided the TDL's deployment of services over its history, honoring the need for local control over workflows while creating a meaningful shared service. In this spirit, TDL is implementing a pilot repository, using open source Dataverse, that will be collectively managed by representatives at TDL member libraries, marrying the benefits of a single repository (i.e., operation at scale) with local institutional control of associated services. Following a pilot in spring 2016, the group will assess the service and make recommendations to refine it prior to a production launch. In this presentation, members of the TDL Dataverse Implementation Working Group will discuss the repository's system architecture and its unique hybrid service design, which leverages the structure of "distributed control" inherent in Dataverse. The group will also reflect on lessons gleaned from the pilot and subsequent assessment.Item Data Curation in the Texas Data Repository(Texas Digital Library, 2020-05-27) Wheeler, BrennaItem Dataverse Community Meeting Slides 2021(2021-05-19)Item Dataverse Integration with Open Science Framework (OSF)(Texas Digital Library, 2019-01-22) Lake, Sherry H.Item The Dataverse Project: An Open-Source Data Repository and Data Sharing Community(2016-05-25) Quigley, Elizabeth; Harvard UniversityThis poster discusses the Dataverse Project, an open-source data repository and data sharing community.Item Diving into Data: Implementing a Data Repository at the Texas Digital Library(2016-05-26) Thompson, Santi; Park, Kristi; Steans, Ryan; Herbert, Bruce; Quigley, ElizabethThe need for Data Management services is one of two large‐scale needs consistently expressed by members of the Texas Digital Library (TDL), a consortium of academic libraries throughout the state. In particular, members are seeking a repository that offers researchers a platform for publishing, citing, reusing, and preserving research data. In response to this need, TDL has formed a series of working groups aimed at building a statewide data repository. This panel session presentation will document the work of two TDL working groups focused on the storage and accessibility of research data, as well as connect their efforts to a growing number of research data repositories worldwide: The first group, the TDL Data Management Working Group, selected a platform to act as the statewide repository. Panel presenters will outline the group’s methodology, including the development of researcher use cases and system evaluation criteria and the testing of Dataverse, an open source platform for research data sharing and management developed by Harvard’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS). They will also highlight the results of these efforts and discuss why the group recommended that TDL and its members implement the Dataverse repository. Secondly, presenters will share the current activities of the TDL Dataverse Implementation Working Group, which is charged with launching an instance of Dataverse as the statewide data repository for Texas. Updates will focus on the work of four subgroups (Budget and Business Model, Policy and Governance, Technical Configuration, and Workflow and Outreach) as well as the results and lessons learned from an initial pilot launch of the software in Spring 2016. Finally, a representative of the Dataverse project from Harvard IQSS will situate the TDL Dataverse project within a wider community of Dataverse implementations, both at Harvard and elsewhere across the globe. As more institutions consider launching a repository for research data, our panel presentation offers important lessons that others may value. Attendees of our session will learn more about the assessment of data repositories, including potential methods and criteria for evaluating systems, as well as the challenges and benefits to building a collaborative, consortial data repository.Item Diving into Data: Implementing a Data Repository at the Texas Digital Library(2016-05-26) Thompson, Santi; Park, Kristi; Donald, Jeremy; Herbert, Bruce; Quigley, Elizabeth; Buckner, Sean; Kaspar, Wendi Arant; Lauland, Nick; Peters, Todd C.; Rodgers, Denyse; Smith, Cecelia; Starcher, Christopher; Uzwyshyn, Ray; Waugh, Laura; University of Houston; Texas Digital Library; Trinity University; Texas A&M University; Harvard University; Texas State University; Baylor University; Texas Tech UniversityThe need for Data Management services is one of two large‐scale needs consistently expressed by members of the Texas Digital Library (TDL), a consortium of academic libraries throughout the state.

The first group, the TDL Data Management Working Group, selected a platform to act as the statewide repository. To do this, the group created a set of use cases to formulate evaluation criteria for testing potential systems. After testing Dataverse, the team made a recommendation to move forward with its implementation. A second group, the TDL Dataverse Implementation Working Group, is currently charged with launching an instance of the Dataverse open source platform as the statewide data repository for Texas. As more institutions consider developing a repository for research data, our poster presentation offers a case study on the assessment of data repositories, including potential methods and criteria for evaluating systems, as well as the challenges and benefits to building a collaborative, consortial data repository. The Problem The need for Data Management services is one of two large‐scale needs consistently expressed by members of the TDL, a consortium of academic libraries throughout the state. In particular, members are seeking a repository that offers researchers a platform for publishing, citing, reusing, and preserving research data. In response to this need, TDL has formed a series of working groups aimed at building a statewide data repository and developing services to fulfill researcher needs in the state.Item External Tools for Dataverse(Texas Digital Library, 2021-01-21) Suarez, AlexandriaItem Harvard Dataverse Management and Processes(Texas Digital Library, 2019-06-25)Item Inside-Out Impact of the Texas Data Repository(Texas Digital Library, 2018-06-14) Dabrowski, Anna J.; Mumma, Courtney; Trelogan, JessicaWith eleven institutional members, the Texas Data Repository (TDR) has more than doubled in size in its first year. Last year, Courtney Mumma, the TDR Service Manager, spoke to the Dataverse Community Meeting about the creation of the TDR Steering Committee (TDR SC) and their roadmap going forward. In her role as Services Manager, Courtney functions as a member of the TDR SC as well as a liaison with the greater Dataverse developer and implementer communities. She will address how information gathered from the TDR SC meetings as well as support requests from TDR users and librarian liaisons inside Texas has resulted in external enhancements and changes in the Dataverse application as well as links to multiple data repository registries. The TDR SC has also formed two working groups so far, the Training and Outreach WG and the Assessment WG, to improve the TDR for its administrators and users. This presentation will describe efforts by those working groups to make an impact in Texas, and beyond, by sharing resources amongst TDR institutions, improving outreach, gathering metrics about use and institutional requirements, and creating new open source reporting tools that could serve the broader Dataverse Community.Item Introducing the Expanding Dataverse(2015-04-27) Castro, Eleni; Quigley, Elizabeth; Harvard UniversityThe Dataverse Project started in 2006 at Harvard’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science as an open source software application to share, cite and archive data. From its beginnings, Dataverse (then referred as the ‘Dataverse Network’) has provided a robust infrastructure for data stewards to host and archive data, while offering researchers an easy way to share and get credit for their data. Since then, there are now ten Dataverse repositories that share metadata with each other hosted in institutions around the world, which together serve more than 55,000 datasets with 750,000 data files (dataverse.org). These Dataverse repositories are using the Dataverse software in a variety of ways, from supporting existing large data archives to building institutional or public repositories. One of these Dataverse repositories is the Harvard Dataverse, that alone hosts more than 800 dataverses (containers of datasets) owned and managed by either researchers, research groups, organizations, departments or journals. The Harvard Dataverse has so far served more than a million downloads of its datasets, allowing researchers around the world to reuse the data, discover new findings, and extend or verify previous work. While the Dataverse project started from the social sciences for the social sciences, it has now expanded to benefit a wide range of disciplines and scientific domains (astronomy, life sciences, etc) leveraging our progress in the social science domain to define and enhance data publishing across all research communities. In particular, as part of the new Dataverse release (v4.0), we have evaluated the features needed in data publishing so data can be properly shared, found, accessed and reused. This presentation will provide some background information on the Dataverse's history and showcase the new features we have developed in version 4.0 for researchers.Item June 2018 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2018-06-20) Park, Kristi; Mumma, Courtney; DeForest, LeaItem Launching the Texas Data Repository: How to Implement TDR at Your Institution [presentation](2016-10-06) Parks, Kristi; Thompson, SantiThe Texas Data Repository (TDR), a new service offered by the Texas Digital Library, is a platform for publishing and archiving datasets and other data products created by faculty, staff, and students at Texas higher education institutions. The repository, which is built in the open source application Dataverse, will enable TDL member libraries to provide research data management services to their campus communities that will: enable compliance with federal mandates for data archiving and sharing, increase the scholarly impacts of datasets through assignment of persistent online identifiers and citations, and facilitate limited sharing within research groups, data versioning, and long-term preservation. In this webinar, Kristi Park (Director of the TDL) and Santi Thompson (Head of Digital Repository Services at the University of Houston Libraries and chair of the TDL Dataverse Implementation Working Group) will give an overview of the repository service, requirements for TDL member participation, and plans for the future of the service.Item Leveraging Campus Connections for RDM(Texas Digital Library, 2019-03-19) Nurnberger, AmyItem October 2020 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2020-10-21) Park, Kristi; Mumma, Courtney; DeForest, LeaItem Remote Storage for Dataverse(Texas Digital Library, 2019-04-23) Crabtree, Jonathan
