Digital repositories allow for the storage and management of digital publications and related content beyond simple PDF files. They support complex, heterogeneous publications that may include various media types and relationships between components. Repository systems like Fedora, EPrints and DSpace provide services for ingesting, preserving, discovering and accessing publications and their related content and metadata over time while maintaining identifiers and workflows. Repositories aim to enable reuse of content and establish policies around ownership, access, and long-term preservation of information within a networked scholarly communications environment.

How Portable Are the Metadata Standards for Scientific Data?Jian Qin
The one-covers-all approach in current metadata standards for scientific data has serious limitations in keeping up with the ever-growing data. This paper reports the findings from a survey to metadata standards in the scientific data domain and argues for the need for a metadata infrastructure. The survey collected 4400+ unique elements from 16 standards and categorized these elements into 9 categories. Findings from the data included that the highest counts of element occurred in the descriptive category and many of them overlapped with DC elements. This pattern also repeated in the elements co-occurred in different standards. A small number of semantically general elements appeared across the largest numbers of standards while the rest of the element co-occurrences formed a long tail with a wide range of specific semantics. The paper discussed implications of the findings in the context of metadata portability and infrastructure and pointed out that large, complex standards and widely varied naming practices are the major hurdles for building a metadata infrastructure.

This is a brief overview of how we'll use glue Biblio and Fedora Commons together for the Biodiversity Heritage Library. This binds together many pieces of the project and touches on how we'll use Fedora Commons as a preservation layer for the corpus of BHL data.
Using Fedora Commons To Create A Persistent ArchivePhil Cryer
With the increasing amount of digital data and demand for open access to view and reuse such data continually increasing, the adoption of open source digital repository software is critical for long term storage and management of digital objects. By utilizing the open source Fedora Commons software, the Missouri Botanical Garden has created a stable, persistent archive for Tropicos digital objects, including specimen images, plant photos, and other digital media. Metadata, organized in standard Dublin Core extracted from Tropicos, are stored alongside the digital objects providing search and sharing of data via open standards such as REST and OAI, opening the door for mash-ups and alternative uses. The presentation will cover initial discovery, required hardware and software, and an overview of our experience implementing Fedora Commons. Lessons learned, pros and cons, and other options will also be covered.

As electronic serials have shifted from being the exception to the norm, libraries are becoming increasingly reliant on knowledge base driven systems to help manage their electronic resource holdings. In 2011, after over a decade of managing e-serials within a local database, the University of Toronto Libraries migrated its electronic serial holdings to a fully integrated commercial e-resource management system. Now, with two years of experience under our belts, we endeavored to take stock and analyze how our library is coping with e-serial management within this new environment. How accurate are our e-journal holding statements within the ERM? How effective are we at managing e-serial title changes? How well are we tracking journal purchases that fall outside of the big package deals? Throughout this study, we have encountered many of the benefits and pitfalls of managing electronic journals within a knowledge base-driven system. While using a commercial ERM and companion MARC record service has allowed the library to present better data to users and expose previously hidden collections, there are several new challenges that we must contend with in a knowledge base environment. A common issue hindering access to our e-journals is the supply of incorrect, outdated or incomplete metadata within the data supply chain. These metadata problems have a detrimental effect on libraries, and consequently on our users, as it affects the accuracy of our e-journal holdings within our e-resource inventories. Although the study began as an internal investigation of our e-serials management practices and workflows, the results highlight the need for greater standardization within the data supply chain, better communication with publishers and knowledge base providers, and increased collaboration to improve the e-resource management process.

Who says you can't do records management in SharePoint?John F. Holliday
Although records management features have steadily improved with each new SharePoint version, many industry observers are starting to express their doubts as to whether SharePoint is a viable platform for building real-world ERM solutions. This session will explore the enhanced RM capabilities of SharePoint 2013 and show how to leverage them to full advantage. The session will also introduce several third-party tools that further enhance the platform to enable true enterprise-class content lifecycle management.

Introduction to Data Management PlanningErin Owens
Data management planning is an essential step of preparing to launch a research project, but it's often not given the robust consideration it deserves. External funders are increasingly requiring research funding proposals to include detailed plans for how data will be accurately and effectively collected, maintained, preserved, and shared. Even without a funder requirement, sound data management planning improves accuracy and efficiency of research data collection. This session from the Scholarly Communications Librarian at Sam Houston State University will walk step by step through the process of data management planning; participants will leave with an outline of their own plan and a list of useful resources.
With the increase in unstructured information, organizations are looking for new ways to not only improve their search and retrieval process, but also manage and leverage their information assets to improve performance when migrating information.
In this webinar InfoStrata Solutions and Concept Searching will discuss strategies for analyzing your existing information, to categorize and prioritize your assets prior to migrating to SharePoint. We will explore how to leverage the Term Store in different ways to manage content, and how migration and storage costs can be reduced by de-duplicating, removing, or archiving obsolete content.
What you will take away from this session:
• Understand the migration process, to ensure important content is not lost
• Learn how Concept Searching’s Smart Content Framework™ can provide a new way to undertake bulk migrations
• Learn strengths and weaknesses of the information management capabilities of SharePoint 2010 and 2013
• Best practices on managing content with the Term Store
• The difference between a proprietary taxonomy solution and a fully integrated Term Store solution
• Intuitive and unique features in conceptTaxonomyManager that integrate with the SharePoint Term Store, leveraging metadata to drive business value

1. How do Digital Repositories Work?
Thornton Staples
Fedora Commons, Inc.
2. What do we mean, “Institutional
Repository”
• Is it a place to cherish some PDF files?
• Is it about use and re-use of the content or just
preservation?
• Is a repository part of a network of inter-related
repositories?
• Is a repository used to construct and manage the
publication from the beginning?
3. What is the nature of the
“publication”?
• A PDF file?
• An illustrated narrative?
• A science article that includes datasets?
• A virtual exhibition?
• An electronic critical edition?
• Does it support annotation and other social
participation?
4. Beyond a PDF....
• These entities are usually heterogeneous combinations
of more than one type of content
• The can include complex relationships among the
content components
• They will increasingly include components that are not
under the control of the author or sponsoring institution
• Increasingly, they will include as components, or have
important relationships to, born-digital content, not just
surrogates for physical objects
5. Repository Systems
• EPrints is a vertically integrated application that is
specifically oriented around documents and articles
• DSpace is also a vertically integrated application that has
a more general conception of content
• If the content that you are managing fits their models both
provide a reasonably complete system for managing it.
• Fedora is a foundation of services upon which many
information management applications can be built
• Applications built upon Fedora for domain-specific
information management are beginning to appear
6. Persistent Identifiers (PIDs)
• Names for resources that uniquely identify them
without respect to their location
• One of the main jobs of a repository is to manage
the content on the back-end, while publicly
maintaining the PIDs
• A repository can maintain a unique PID for an
object that is then exposed using one or more
schemes
7. Workflow
• Provide submission processes that enforce content
and metadata standards at ingestion
• Relationships among the content components must
be maintained throughout the process
• Audit trails for actions on the repository must be
maintained
• It is important to maintain versions of content upon
updating
• Should provide for review and approval processes
• Social processes require a complete workflow
8. Discovery and Access
• Expose metadata or full-text to harvesting services,
such as Google or OAI
• Provide specialist access to indexed metadata or full
text
• As publications become more complex, more
metadata standards will have to be supported
• Endlessly federating searches does not seem to be
the answer
9. Use and Re-use of Content
• The point of searching is finding!
• Content should be available in flexible ways to be
used by an array of tools
• Content discovered in one context should be
reusable in another
• The repository must be able to exchange content
with other repositories
10. Sustaining Digital Information
• Preserving the components such that they can be
reloaded in case of loss
• Keeping the data technically viable, migrating the
content to new encodings, as necessary.
• Vouching for the veracity and authenticity of the
information, both content and structure
• Relationships to content that is outside the
repositories control must be maintained or
gracefully degraded
11. Establishing and Enforcing Policies
• Policies must be established for the entire life-cycle
of the information
– Ownership and workflow policies
– Access and use policies
– Policies associated with sustaining (or not!)
• Policy information can be based on assumptions
built into the software, encoded in metadata to be
handed off to other processes, and/or managed and
used as data in the repository
• Polices must be expressed for end users
• Policies must also be expressed for machine access
12. Towards Community Repositories
• The repository becomes the medium for scholarly
communication within a network
• Content creators own their content and control all
policies associated with it
• Authorship becomes a process of adding nodes and
arc to a worldwide network of content
• Transfer ownership to other sophisticated
repositories (digital libraries?) to be sustained in the
long term
• Community repositories could be hosted by
publishers or professional societies
