\nAssistant Direct General, National Library of Australia<\/p>\n

[sorry didn’t take very good notes for Warwick’s good talk]<\/p>\n

“towards the australian data commons” paper on the web for reference on Australian policy in this area.<\/p>\n

various sites\/projects:<\/p>\n

arrow: aggregates IRs in Uni repositories, 90,000 records, expects to grow rapidly. not a ‘native search service’ intended to let others use the metadata.
\nfuture: evolve, support financially by ‘austrian national data service’ (like everything else in this talk). will use shibb and poss openid.<\/p>\n

regstry services
\n[interesting stuff, another project, but didn’t make any notes]<\/p>\n

pilin – identity management
\nhandle mirror\/proxy.
\ntools and define requirements for a national service
\nnational persistant identifier service.<\/p>\n

Obsolescence notification
\naons project
\ntoolkit on sourceforge
\nadapters for ir software
\ncompares profile with data from external registeries, for each registry they have built an adapter<\/p>\n

Australian METS profile
\nencoding of preervation metadata
\nexchaging data format.
\nthree layer model, top, generic profile, middle: content models, bottom: implementation profiles<\/p>\n

Timescapes:<\/strong> looking at relationships, family life (young people, fatherood, older people).
\nBut also buildng a data archive in the process, some objects not born digital.<\/p>\n

400+ participants
\n5000+ objects
\n500+ gb size.<\/p>\n

Sustainable = Shareable + desirable.<\/p>\n

Share:
\nIP sorted, resource discovery, harvestability.<\/p>\n

Desirability
\nwhat makes people want to use this, this issue is at the service
\nresearchers are primarly audience, but also media, policy makers, students.
\nLongitudinal (new term to me) e.g. track people as they move through time
\nneeds to be multimedia: voice, video, audio.
\nvideo helps to engage you people
\nthemematic data
\nreuse helps make it desirable.<\/p>\n

Distinctive features of timescapes
\nanswer<\/a>: data (primarly)
\nbut also: multimedia, sensitive content, complex access
\nLongitudinal, dynamic updating.
\nIntergrating of research, archive and reuse.
\nresearchers are central to the design, they interact with repository.<\/p>\n

Timescape Repository (at leeds), Timescapes data preserved at UK Data Archive (essex):
\nno point recreating a preservation service at leeds. uses digitool at leeds because mandras (?) was. digitool not open. wanted to use an existing tool at leeds rather than setup a new one.<\/p>\n

metadata:
\nlots of challenges, especially in what is needed.
\nlots of people, expertise, and different institution.
\nresearchers tend to be the experts and know their area,
\nand IR people know current practice in metadata.
\nlooking in to how to mark up audiovisual, e.g. looking at a METS wrapper.
\nmodifying depositor interface to repository, let people add their own metadata, with some stuff still being added by the IR staff.<\/p>\n

showing an example of the sort of data (in a MS Word file) the researchers are collecting. need a fair bit of conversations to encourage researchers to do this. (transcript guidelines\/forms)<\/p>\n

back to sustainability:
\n“key strategies for sustainability”
\n– embedding in multiple institutions (can’t predict the future).
\n– build trust with researchers in what you are doing (and asking them to do) is essential, esp in long term.
\n– reuse!
\nlots of people want to be part of the project: affiliates programme. those who want to work closely have to agree to contribute their own data and reuse current data.<\/p>\n

Summary:
\nresearchers agreed to share and reuse data: success
\nwaiting list of affiliates<\/p>\n

issues:
\nquaility of researcher dsubmitted data, some reluctant to share, digitool multimedia support limited.
\nCollaboration takes time, especially across institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
