Ariadne Training Workshop Ljubljana, Slovenia 21 January 2016 Presentation by: Holly Wright, Archaeology Data Service (ADS) and Kater Fernie, 2 Culture Associates

The MIMAS workshop discussed the RepositoryNet infrastructure and components including aggregation, text mining, search, benchmarking and statistics, registries, deposit tools, and metadata quality. It provided updates on components outside RepositoryNet like IRS Search and NAMES 2. A demonstration of IRUS showed its current functionality for benchmarking and statistics and future plans for funding, APIs, international scope, and business models. Developing service level agreements for RepNet services was also discussed.

The document discusses various online tools for visualizing and sharing data on the participatory web. It provides examples of tools for mapping and spatial data visualization, including ProgrammableWeb, GeoCommons, and OpenStreetMap. It also lists tools for numeric data visualization like Graphwise, Numbrary, and Swivel. The document questions whether these types of online data visualization tools are just a temporary phenomenon or have more lasting potential to support academic research and open data initiatives.

Slides describing the evolution of the Edinburgh DataShare repository and The High-Rise Project and the (potential) collaborative mechanisms that will enable the digital content to be ingested and preserved in the Edinburgh DataShare DSpace repository environment

This document discusses challenges with curating and sharing research data to support reuse. It notes that while the amount of digital research data being created is growing rapidly, current systems for preserving data are not optimally designed with input from researchers. Researchers have various concerns about openly sharing their data that need to be addressed. Studies found that engaging researchers early and building trusted relationships is important for developing effective data curation solutions tailored to different research practices and disciplines.

Edinburgh DataShare is a digital repository hosted by the University of Edinburgh's Data Library that stores and shares multi-disciplinary research datasets. It was developed using DSpace software with customizations to support different file types and metadata standards for various research domains. The Data Library engages with researchers through training, reference support, and projects to understand their data needs and improve data management, sharing and preservation services.
