This document summarizes the University of Western Australia's efforts to consolidate its research data systems. It discusses the migration of datasets from its existing DSpace repository to its new Pure repository to have a single system for publications, theses, and datasets. The migration project timeline and functional requirements are outlined, along with issues encountered with the previous DSpace and Vivo systems. Finally, future plans are mentioned, such as enabling dataset submissions directly in Pure and linking publications, theses, and datasets from the same grants/instruments.

9. IssuesDSpace Issues
• Community Creation and initial
set up
• Clunky
• No Updates
• Upload Tool errors
• No automated DOI creation
• Reporting Module
VIVO Issues
• Harvesting Errors
• Recurring Staging Database
issues

10. 2 Repositories
UWA Research Repository
(PURE)
• Publications and Theses
Research Data Online
(DSpace)
• Research Datasets

11. UWA Research Repository
research-repository.uwa.edu.au
PURE is a Current Research Information System (CRIS)
• Publications and Theses
• builds reports
• performance assessments
• researcher profiles
• research discovery
• UWA Theses
• PlumX integration
• Altmetric donut
• integration

12. Benefits
• Consolidate Research repository systems.
• Better time management
• Better user experience
• UWA researcher compliance with institutional, publisher and funder requirements
• Greater potential for ongoing development
• Enhanced system support
• Link Publications, theses and Datasets from the same grant.

14. DSpace to Pure Migration ProjectProject Timeline (2016-2017)
• Project Initiation (complete)
• Researcher feedback (complete)
• Functional Requirements (complete)
• GAP analysis (complete)
• Migration Strategy (complete)
• ANDS/RDA Crosswalk (complete)
• Solutions Design (nearly there)
• Procedures and guides (complete)

15. DSpace to Pure Migration Project
Functional Requirements
– Show stoppers
• Ensure no data loss of current
datasets – smooth transition
• Ability to harvest into RDA
• Meet minimum RIF-CS metadata
requirements
• Ability for researchers to upload their
datasets and automatically mint DOIs

16. DSpace to Pure Migration ProjectDataset Migration - manual
• Time & money
• Manual Testing needed anyway
• Unpopulated fields in Pure
• Files wouldn’t transfer in automated transfer

26. future of RDO
2017
Future
• Enable Dataset submission to Pure for Researchers in the Portal
• Disable DSpace for dataset submission
• Redirect DOIs and handles
• Researcher Pilot group
• Rollout of Datasets
• Equipment Module
• Link Publications, theses, datasets from the same grant and instrument!
• UWA Policy Changes

27. future of RDO
2017
Code of Conduct for the responsible Practice of
Research
3.7 Research data related to publications must be available
for discussion with other researchers. The availability of
such data must be recorded and managed through the
UWA Research Repository. The six Creative Commons
version 4.0 licenses recommended in AusGOAL are the
preferred licenses to be used for Open Access. CC-BY is
used wherever possible for sharing research data.
