Tiivistelmä
The University of Edinburgh, like many other universities, is currently undertaking extensive work to build infrastructure that supports and enables good practice in the area of Research Data Management (RDM). This infrastructure ranges from large-scale research storage facilities to data management planning tools.
One aspect of Research Data Management highlighted in the University’s RDM Roadmap is ‘Data stewardship: tools and services to aid in the description, deposit, and continuity of access to completed research data outputs.’
Such an example is Edinburgh DataShare, an open research data repository running on DSpace and hosted at the Data Library, University of Edinburgh. It holds and curates data (and associated metadata) for public consumption on behalf of Edinburgh University data creators and is integral to the successful implementation of the RDM Roadmap.
This paper will discuss recent usability and technical developments including:
- improvements to the deposit workflow (as identified by pilot users) such as collapsible non-required fields and clearer license information
- load balancing between sites
- development server enhancements to make it easier for depositors to test repository functionality
- SWORD batch ingesting (for large or many files from remote computers)
