8. Data Stewardship
• DataVault
• Long term archival storage
• First envisaged a few years ago…

11. What is the DataVault?
• It’s a platform (a bit of web-based software), not a storage system
• You still need an archival storage system
• It is provided via a RESTful API
• But also comes with a default web user interface application
• It’s doesn’t undertake any active preservation activities
• It does collect metadata and package the data for long-term storage
Showcasing research data tools 11

12. DataVault use cases
• Store golden-copy data so that it can’t be changed
• Storing finalised data that can’t be openly shared (or ‘everything else’)
• Retaining old data in case it can be re-analysed later on
• Retention to meet funder requirements

22. DMA Online
Masud Khokhar – Lancaster University

23. »DMAOnline: A dashboard to view RDM information from a
variety of data sources
»Top 3 use cases for DMAOnline
1. Timely reporting of RDM compliance data for appropriate interventions
2. Reducing routine task workload
3. Future business case development
»Lots of interest from community!
› Early adopters include Universities of York, Birmingham
and St. Andrews.

32. Community feedback
» Phase 1
› “it’s genius, it’s just what we need”
– Gill Hamilton: Digital Access Manager, National Library of Scotland
» Phase 2
› “with these sort of annotations on the clip, then I would be using nothing
else for the rest of my life”
– Peter Hohenstein: Group Leader, Developmental Biology, Roslin Institute
› “getting that 360 degree picture of a research output would be really useful
if it was easy and not the pain that it is today”
– Marc Silberschatz: Theatre Researcher, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland

34. “Carrot” for data deposit
“Submit data paper” button on repository
Researcher gets
–Another publication/citation opportunity
–(Data preserved)
Publisher gets
–More data paper submissions
–Better quality (metadata already curated by
the repo)
–Link referrals from data repositories
Repositories get
–More data deposits
–Better metadata
Funders get
–More re-use
–More impact
