Now we are six: Integrating Edinburgh DataShare into local and internet in...Robin Rice
#iassist40 presentation, Toronto, 6/6/2014.
Abstract:
Edinburgh DataShare, an institutional data repository, is six years old. It was built as a demonstrator in DSpace by EDINA and Data Library and has been given new life by the University of Edinburgh’s Research Data Management initiative. Following testing by pilot users in various departments last year, DataShare is confirmed as a key RDM service. Since 2008 much external infrastructure has grown around data sharing, and software developers, publishers and librarians are creating new innovations around the sharing and re-use of data daily. How can DataShare be shaped to fit in to this ever-more-sophisticated environment? A number of ongoing developments are helping us integrate the repository in the global context. DataShare is being indexed in Thomson-Reuter’s Data Citation Index. We aspire to attain the Data Seal of Approval for DataShare, a badge that confers trustworthiness through peer review. It is listed in re3data.org and databib registries of data repositories. We offer via extension, peer review of datasets to our depositors by listing journals that publish ‘data papers’ such as F1000 Research. Locally, as Information Services builds new data services such as the Data Store, [private data] Vault and the [metadata-only] Register, we can focus DataShare on its named purpose.

Data Curation Lifecycle Management at the University of Edinburgh
1. Creating a data management plan
What is DMPonline?
DMPonline is a tool created by the UK’s Digital Curation Centre (DCC) to
help researchers write a Data Management Plan (DMP).
Why should I use it?
The tool includes a number of templates for funders in the UK
and overseas so you can write a DMP according to the specific
requirements you need to meet. It is customised for Edinburgh use
too so you are provided with examples and guidance based on local
support and services. You can also use the Edinburgh customised
template if your funder does not provide one. If you are working with other
researchers you can share your plan to co-author it. You can also export
your plan once you complete it. You can view your plan as a web page
and also download it as a plain text or as a pdf file.
How can I access it?
The tool is available from: http://dmponline.dcc.ac.uk/. You can sign up
by entering your email, organisation, and password. You can also login
using your EASE username and password once you have linked these
institutional credentials to your DMPonline account.

Sharing open data
What is DataShare?
Edinburgh DataShare is a free, open data repository which allows
University of Edinburgh researchers to upload, share, and license their
data resources for online discovery and re-use by others. Your data will be
discoverable through search engines to maximise visibility and impact.
DataShare can provide you with usage statistics so you know when your
data have been downloaded.
Why should I use it?
• Increase impact of your research;
• Make your data assets discoverable and citable;
• Minimise the risk of data loss for your own future use;
• Meet funding body requirements & comply with University policy;
• Ensure your research data is preserved for posterity.
A big advantage of depositing your data is that they will be preserved -
even for your own future use. The system creates a permanent record, a
persistent identifier (DOI), and a suggested citation, so that your work can
be formally attributed when re-analysed by others.
How can I access it?
Simply click on the Deposit button on the home page of the repository
and log in with EASE: http://datashare.is.ed.ac.uk
Synchronising data
What is DataSync?
DataSync is a tool to synchronise and share research data with
collaborators. It has an app to synchronise data to computers and
mobile devices, and a web interface to allow access to data from any
web browser. Data can be shared with anyone who has an email address,
via the web interface.
Why should I use it?
You can synchronise your files across multiple computers and devices,
access your documents via a web browser, and share data with
colleagues anywhere.
Your data will be stored at the University of Edinburgh and managed by
Information Services.
You will have dedicated DataSync storage, plus the ability to connect
up your personal and group data on the RDM DataStore for
effectively unlimited storage capacity, giving you the ability to
synchronise and share your active research data.
How can I access it?
You can activate your account by logging in to the DataSync web site
using your University username and password at:
https://datasync.ed.ac.uk
Apps are available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, iOS and Android.

Archiving data
What is Data Vault?
The Data Vault is an archive storage service where you can safely store
your research data for the long term.
Why should I use it?
Your data will be kept safe from accidental deletion and, when combined
with a record of the dataset in PURE, will fulfil the expectations of research
funders who require long term storage of research data.
Data can be copied into the Data Vault from your DataStore, and
when a retrieval request is made, a copy will be placed back into your
DataStore. Using the Data Vault will allow you to archive old data from
your DataStore, to free up space for new research. The Data Vault also
makes a good location for storing specific versions of your data, for
example at the end of a grant.
How can I access it?
The Data Vault is currently under development. It will be a web-based
system accessible using your EASE username and password. Keep an eye
out for announcements about the service at: http://datavault.ed.ac.uk
Finding & analysing data
What is Data Library & Consultancy?
The Data Library & Consultancy team assists researchers to discover
and use datasets for analysis, learning and teaching.
Data librarians are available to help you find answers to data-related
questions.
Why should I use it?
Your research project may involve acquiring and analysing existing
datasets, not just collecting new data. In some cases you may know
where to find these datasets; but in others you may need help to
find them or to access them. Some may have special access
requirements for reasons of confidentiality.
The Data Library can help you find data freely available on the
internet or licensed by the University. We can match your re-
search topic to data resources including surveys, censuses, map-
ping, and databases. We can help you create teaching datasets and
provide hands-on data workshops for your classes. Our online data analy-
sis server (http://stats.datalib.edina.ac.uk/sda) allows users to do basic
statistical analyses, tables, regressions, etc., and download subsets for
use in other statistical analysis packages.
How can I access it?

Recording datasets using PURE
What is PURE?
PURE is the current research information system. It contains individual
profiles of research information for all staff members involved in research.
Staff members are encouraged to add content and edit their profiles.
Why should I use it?
The University is using PURE to record descriptive data (metadata)
about research data in order to meet institutional and funder policy
requirements. The metadata must be sufficient to allow others to
understand what research data exists, how it was generated, and how
to access it. Datasets that have been described in PURE are
automatically shown as part of a staff member’s online profile in
Edinburgh Research Explorer (http://www.research.ed.ac.uk) alongside
other research outputs such as journal articles, conference papers, and
grants.
If data are stored in DataShare or an external repository, the DOI can be
added to the record in PURE to link them together.
How can I access it?
Users can log into PURE using their EASE Username and password via:
http://www.pure.ed.ac.uk/
For information and help on how to add a dataset description to PURE
