Dryad Digital Repository • Web address: datadryad.org • Non-profit, incorporated in US • Operates internationally with more than 30 member organizations • publishers, societies, government agencies, research networks, national and research libraries. • Relatively young • started w/ infusion of funds from NSF in 2007 • online since 2009 • incorporated in 2012 • introduced revenue model in Fall 2013
The types of data we collect and how we acquire it • Data associated with publications • Science and medicine • Focus on biology and medicine • Started in evolution/ecology community as support for journal data policies • Breakdown of file types we accept • Text, spreadsheets, video, photographs, software code, compressed archives of multiple files • Ordinarily, no more than 10GBof material are submitted for a single publication • Larger data sets are accepted but will be subject to additional charges • How do we acquire files? • Users must register • DOI, PMID or a journal-supplied custom URL to get publication metadata • Enter (small amount of) additional metadata, correct imported metadata, legal signoff • And you’re done.
The services we provide Integration w/ journals Curation/user support Archiving (e.g. CLOCKSS) Download statistics (ImpactStory/PlumAnalytics) Journal policy support (e.g., embargoes) and policy development Metadata syndication/APIs for discovery and retrieval
How we will interoperate with global research data • Emphasis on long tail of research data • Generalist repository able to accept (more or less) anything • Connect research data to ecosystem of scholarly communication standards • Metadata obviously critical (DCI, EuropePMC, Elsevier, ODIN, etc.)
