  1. WWW2006 repositories workshop Linking research papers and research data: possibilities for a generic solution

  2. The identification of workflows, norms and perceived problems in the use of source and output repositories common attributes across disciplines A generic technical specification for functional enhancements to source and output repositories, identified from a survey of active researchers A pilot system that demonstrates the linking of holdings in a source repository (the UK Data Archive) to research papers stored in output repositories The ability more conclusively to track the use and influence of one's published research A structured means of surveying research publications and their associated source data across an entire discipline or within a specific research theme An environment with added value: output repositories that link to their sources and source repositories that link to their outputs will expand the opportunities for dissemination of research and scholarship. Outputs & benefits WWW2006RepoWorkshop

  3. Constituency Seven scientific disciplines surveyed: • Archaeology, Astronomy, Biochemistry, Biosciences, Chemistry, Physics, Social Policy • Academic researchers (staff & PGs), independent researchers, government • 3,700 e-mail invitations despatched • 377 online respondents (10%) WWW2006RepoWorkshop

  12. Who assigns metadata? WWW2006RepoWorkshop

  13. Archaeology refer in some cases to use of thesauri, Dublin Core, etc. WWW2006RepoWorkshop

  14. Key metadata WWW2006RepoWorkshop

  15. TheOthermetadata Some examples: • Archaeological period, artefact material, artefact type, conservation method • Celestial object, position and observation date • Chemical entity, chemical identifier (InChI) • Description of the instrument operating mode • Description of GIS processes applied, min/max co-ordinates, cell resolution for raster data • Description of experimental conditions under which the data was generated • Experimental method used • Protein sequence WWW2006RepoWorkshop

  16. Output repositories WWW2006RepoWorkshop

  17. Evolving strategy These early indications from the StORe questionnaire confirm a strategy in which • the pilot middleware could provide a broad core generic solution; • the middleware must be capable of accepting a limited number of discipline-specific add-ons; • a standard platform for metadata can be established to reflect a large proportion of practices and needs. In addition, further analysis is determining that • cross-discipline data requirements must be met for output and source data; • a range of different attitudes to data sharing will have to be supported by effective validation if repositories are to be accepted and effective; • improved online support is expected to be the most appropriate and economical means of meeting expectations for help; • there are indications of a considerable lack of awareness of repositories amongst academic staff and postgraduates.
