  1. UK research data registry and discovery service: pilot phase 1HEI liaison Laura Molloy HATII, University of Glasgow Digital Curation Centre

  2. Work package 5: HEI liaison Objective: liaise with participating UK HEIs to support the work of determining and testing how existing metadata records for data collections held at HEI-hosted data repositories can be harvested from their existing metadata catalogues - with the minimum of adjustment – into a central registry, to enhance findability and inter-repository searching.

  3. Work package 5: HEI liaison Recruitment • Recruitment of HEI participants: 9 active, several more ‘in the loop’ / potentially active • Requirements for active participation: • you need to have some research data, • to be able to expose metadata about it, and • to have that metadata provide a route to the data itself

  4. Work package 5: HEI liaison

  5. Work package 5: key facts surveys Aims • To understand HEI data repository landscape • To provide pre-intervention measures Findings • Datacentres: longer history; easier access to stats; higher FTEs than HEI repositories • Full findings: registry webpage

  6. Work package 5: gathering HEI responses and requirements Strategy • Project should incorporate representation of researchers’ needs • Service should look into what will encourage and increase reuse of datasets Technical • Software should be easier for users to understand • Software should be able to respond appropriately to deletions. • Desirable for software to be able to merge records (as opposed to new record replacing any older record with same identifier) • Service should promote visibility of research datasets to generic search engines

  7. Work package 5: gathering HEI responses and requirements Metadata • Desirable for the service to be able to harvest CERIF records from CRIS systems • Confirmation required re. whether metadata mappings will have version-specific convertors • Clarity required re. how many metadata standards the project can / should realistically support • Desirable to develop indicators of mandatory and optional metadata fields and their effect on discovery (e.g. as per LinkedIn) Workflow • Desirable for institutions to have opportunity to check quality of harvested output

  8. Work package 5: next steps • Continue to support and expand HEI participation for future activity • Evaluate a further technical solution; gather community feedback for preferred solution • Widen stakeholder group – variety of types of stakeholder
