AGENDA and MINUTES
This is the fourth and last in our series of talks about the Content Areas outlined in the 2014 National Agenda. This month we focused on Research Data. We had two presentations:
1. Paul Soderdahl (along with his colleauges Sara Scheib and Xiaomei Gu) was up first, discussing Data Management at the University of Iowa and their Data Management Survey. Their slides are here: File:NDSA Content WG presentation on Data Management at UI.pdf
Questions that followed included: [apologies from Abbie, I didn't start taking notes until Mark's Q&A - does anyone have notes they can fill in here?]
Gail McMillan: Could you say a little more about publishing vs. other dissemination? and
Glen McAninch: Which of the models works best for you or are you working on a hybrid approach
Rebecca Johnson Melvin/U Delaware: For each of these horizons, are you suggesting all be handled throught library repository?
2. Then we heard from Mark Phillips from UNT. His slides are here: http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc288009/
Questions that followed:
Chris: Ever run into a retiring professor who discovers his closet full of mainframe tapes? Mark: Not yet, but in future he expects this to be more common.
Rebecca Johnson Melvin/U Delaware: what generic metadata are you using to describe the data deposits versus the readme.txt description? Mark: Duplin core-based UNT-L. It's all documented, and a generic library view of metadata, straightforward. They have style guide for how readmes should be done.
Aaisha Haykal, CSU: sorry, if I missed this, but is this system home grown or is it open source? Mark: it is "purpose built" locally to manage collections, based on CDL's microservices. Various components should be released open source but works for their specific environment.
Rebecca Johnson Melvin/U Delaware: Do you have any evidence yet of other researchers using this collected data? Mark: Not yet - hard to show true re-use. Have some download stats but hard to interpret.
Cathy Hartman: could you talk a bit about the preservation part of the system. Mark: Preservation repository to manage bag-it bags. A large scale system, with replication of content, fixity info, verifications. Access system (Django) to dsiplay content.
Joel Wurl: Re. the issue of "uptake," are you noticing any patterns in terms of which faculty from which disciplines are most inclined to cooperate/participate?
Rebecca Johnson Melvin/U Delaware: Are any of the data sets deposited to meet a federally funded grant requirement?
Rebecca Johnson Melvin/U Delaware: Would you accept data deposits with limited access restrictions or limited size restrictions?
Glen McAninch: Thanks. Great presentation
Rebecca Johnson Melvin/U Delaware: ditto
Jennifer Weintraub: thanks!
Gail Truman: ditto!
Edward McCain: Thanks, very interesting!
