  1. Data curation in an existing infrastructure: Stellenbosch University 1st African Digital Curation Conference 12 – 13 February 2008 Wouter Klapwijk Senior software specialist Library and Information Service

  2. Overview • Organisational objectives: current status • Example of digital curation in practice

  3. Overview • Organisational objectives: current status • Example of digital curation in practice

  4. Organisational objectives: current status • Current digital curation practices focused on supporting the e-Science/e-Research support framework on campus • Acknowledge the fact that digital curation is more than just ingesting, preserving and disseminating research output • Started experimenting with replication technology – LOCKSS • Institutional Repository (IR) will interface with Research Management System (RIMS) – SA RIMS (InfoEd) project • Dspace  RIMS interaction via Staging Area needs attention

  5. Organisational objectives: current status • Library Service, Dept of Research Development and the Dept of Information Technology: policy framework • Institutional policies need to be in place • Human Resources: no dedicated programmers, no dedicated repository administrator, no dedicated systems administrator, 2 part time staff, no real budget

  6. Research Support Technology Framework Research Lifecycle Management Grant Application Reporting Research Output Submit Concept Internal Review Negotiate Approve Manage Project & Contract Ethics Protocol IP/Ethics/ Contract Review Do Research Institutional Repository Lab notes Preservation Security & Publishing Research outputs: Articles Data sets ETD (Inter)National Resources Library systems Funding search/alerts e-Portfolio Self-maintained for marketing e-Profile Expertise directories Collaboration Environment e.g. For Centres of Excellence, Inter-institution Web & video conferencing, messaging, document collaboration, blogs, wikis websites Toolbox Web survey tool (SUrvey) Citation tools (e.g.Endnote) SAS, SPSS, Matlab, etc. Federated Search (MetaLib) High-speed Internet SANReN Seacom Remote connectivity (e.g. SCN) Hi-Perf Computer Cluster Federated Identity Management Inter-institutional ID management Compiled by Ralph Pina, Stellenbosch University IT Division

  7. Institutional Repository

  8. Implementation - technology plan • Dspace digital repository system • Standardize on version 1.5 for 3 years • Need to workshop OAIS framework (in South African context) • Full OAIS-compliance in Dspace Release 2 • Replication of ETD’s with LOCKSS – Proof of Concept planned for 2009 • Some work done with LOCKSS on format migration • Multiple instances of Dspace – more flexibility, more personalization

  9. Implementation – virtual server setup DSPACE 1.5 SERVER SQL SERVER VMWare guest etd.sun.ac.za (with tomcat and handle server) Metadata storage METADATA ISO 19115 EAD Dublin Core etc. VMWare guest research.sun.ac.za (with tomcat and handle server) mySQL VMWare guest lib.sun.ac.za (with tomcat and handle server) VMWare server PostgreSQL Bitstream storage Linux Linux / BSD SAN (OPTIONAL)

  11. Overview • Organisational objectives: current status • Example of digital curation in practice

  12. A case study • DST-NRF Centre of Excellence for Invasion Biology (CIB) • Prepared a set of Use Cases – metadata requirements, access, permission, roles and responsibilities • Dedicated Collection Administrator • Datasets  Dublin Core • Publications  ISO-19115 (spatial data)

  13. A Case Study - managed access Permissions according to levels (extracted from the CIB Use Cases) No Access Access To be confirmed View if it is owner

  14. A Case Study – metadata requirements

  15. A Case Study – metadata requirements Link to: • Interface design • Data Dictionary • Dspace Administrator view
