Item 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 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.

We will present the vision for IsoBank, as well as the conceptual model driving the development of this custom repository system. As a general repository for stable isotope data, IsoBank must serve a wide array of disciplinary communities, and support data sampled from an even wider array of sources, from environmental samples to museum specimens, with descriptive metadata supporting both findability and reusability. We will discuss the process of gathering input from a community of researchers in various disciplines, and the development of a system to capture descriptive metadata via modifiable templates.Item TwoRavens Statistical Analysis and Data Repositories(2016-11-16) D'Orazio, Vito; Honaker, James; Bhattacharjee, Rohit; University of Texas at Dallas; Harvard University
