From swright at uw.edu Wed Feb 4 15:47:10 2015 From: swright at uw.edu (Stephanie Wright) Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2015 12:47:10 -0800 Subject: [Rdap] Repository cost models In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi everyone, As promised, here are the summarized results to the survey I sent out in the beginning of January about funding models for repositories. Thank you to all of you who responded, tweeted (and retweeted) so I could get these. Much appreciated and very helpful in guiding us toward coming up with a funding model for new repository. For those who offered, I will be contacting you shortly for a few more details. Thank you! Steph RESULTS: 19 respondents Three were identified from outside the U.S. but didn't ask this question until 15 responses were in the hopper. Demographics: Small (<5K stu): 2 (one outside US) Med (5-15K stu): 2 (one public, one private) Large (15K+ stu): 15 (2 outside US, 3 private) Responsibility for management of repository: Library: 13 (2 of these split w/ IT services, 1 w/ IT & Office of Res) IT services: 4 (see above note plus 1 split w/ just IT & Office of Research) Other: 2 data archives, one faculty-based data service Content published in repository: Data: 15 (4 contained data only) Documents: 14 (2 contained docs only) Images: 12 Audio/Video: 11 Other: Two explicitly indicated they were format-agnostic Charging for publication of materials in repository: Three repositories charged or sometimes charged for services. All large, all inside the US. One private, two public. User type, service level (incl length of time material is preserved), and file sizes were determining factors though not across all three. Extra charges were for: More storage space Increased levels of support Funding of library (and shared w/ library) repositories: indicated repository is funded through library bidget. When responsibility for the repository was shared, funding is from budgets of sharing entities. Five mentioned central institutional funding as sole or supplementary source. One mentioned supplementary funding from grant projects. Funding of non-library repositories: State/nat'l funding with one being fully supported by grants and one stating "public". Comments A few respondents with repositories managed by the library expressed concern that current funding either is under review or needs to be reviewed because a) it is not sustainable, b) it is being done ad-hoc and hinders planning or c) there is a desire to expand services. -- Stephanie Wright ------------------------------------------------------------------ Data ServicesCoordinator | University of Washington Libraries | 206-685-1540 | Suzzallo Library, Room G051 ORCID: 0000-0003-3829-318X | http://guides.lib.washington.edu/dmg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We will be running informal sessions of presentations and demonstrations showcasing community expertise and progress: What cool development tools, frameworks, languages and technologies could you not get on without? Is there a particular technique or process that you find apt for solving particular day-to-day repository problems? Demonstrate it to the community. Extra credit for command-line shenanigans and live debugging. What new features (however small) have you added to your organisation's repository? What technologies were used and how did you arrive at your solution? Presentations will be flexibly timed (5 to 20 minutes). Live demos, code repositories, ssh, hacking and audience participation are encouraged. Submissions should take the form of a title and short paragraph detailing what will be shared with the community (including the specific platform and/or technologies you will be showcasing). Please also give an estimate of the duration of your demonstration. Submit your proposal here: https://www.conftool.com/or2015/ by March 13, 2015 *Ideas Challenge* The Developer Challenge this year has been replaced by the more inclusive IDEAS CHALLENGE. We would like to encourage teams to form before and during the conference to propose an innovative solution to a real-world problem that repository users currently face. Each team should include members from both the developer and user community, and represent more than one institution. Teams' ideas will be presented to the conference and prizes will be awarded based on the nature of the problem, the quality of the solution and the make-up of the team.

Interesting that for data, AHRQ will be contracting with a commercial repository to accept and manage data and the repository will make the data available to the public at no charge. It goes into effect October 2015. I'm assuming there will be more information on what information they will require for data management plans. Thanks!

Box 210055 Tucson, AZ 85721-0055 (520) 305-0495 kollen at email.arizona.edu From: Lee, Daniel R - (leed) Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 4:45 PM To: LBRY-Alllfa Subject: 2nd Federal Agency Releases OA Plan The Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ) released their plans that will require all publications and data that results from research they fund to be publicly available within 12 months of publication. The OSTP Memo calling for such plans is almost two years old and this is the second agency to release their plans. For publications, the plan calls for submitting the author's accepted manuscript into NIH's PubMed Central, thus making use of an existing repository. For data, the plan call for the agency to cut a deal with a commercial repository for funded researchers who don't have another place to deposit it. There does seem to be some vagueness remaining regarding whether or not this is the final plan. David Crotty has an overview in the Scholarly Kitchen today (http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2015/02/10/u-s-agency-for-healthcare-research-and-quality-ahrq-announces-public-access-policy/) and the full plan can be seen at the AHRQ site (http://www.ahrq.gov/funding/policies/publicaccess/index.html).

Ensuring that your digital holdings remain both safe and accessible for future generations at prices that you can afford makes ArchivesDirect the best choice for one-stop durable, safe and cost effective long-term preservation and storage. The powerful, combined Archivematica plus DuraCloud ArchivesDirect service meets all 21 aspects of managing and preserving digital objects identified by the IMLS-funded white paper ?From Theory to Action ?. The aim of the report developed by the POWRR (Preserving Digital Objects With Restricted Resources) Project is to provide an analysis of digital preservation solutions for under-resourced institutions. ArchivesDirect meets these challenges by providing tools and services for ingest, preservation, storage and maintenance over time. ArchivesDirect is priced competitively at $11,900 for the ArchivesDirect standard plan, and the cost for additional TBs is one-third the price of other services. This cost advantage makes it possible for even small to mid-sized institutions to participate in active digital preservation of their collections without having to spend time and money developing tools and infrastructure in-house. *?

The program?s goal is to engage early career researchers in the US in Research Data Alliance (RDA), a dynamic and young global organization that seeks to eliminate the technical and social barriers to research data sharing. The successful Fellow will engage in the RDA through a 12-18 month project under the guidance of a mentor from the RDA community. The project is carried out within the context of an RDA Working Group (WG), Interest Group (IG), or Coordination Group (i.e., Technical Advisory Board), and is expected to have mutual benefit to both Fellow and the group?s goals. Fellows receive a stipend and travel support and must be currently employed or appointed at a US institution. Fellows have a chance to work on real-world challenges of high importance to RDA, for instance: * Engage with social sciences experts to study the human and organizational barriers to technology sharing * Apply a WG product to a need in the Fellow?s discipline * Develop plan and disseminate RDA research data sharing practices * Develop and test adoption strategies * Study and recommend strategies to facilitate adoption of outputs from WGs into the broader RDA membership and other organizations * Engage with potential adopting organizations and study their practices and needs * Develop outreach materials to disseminate information about RDA and its products * Adapt and transfer outputs from WGs into the broader RDA membership and other organizations The program involves one or two summer internships and travel to RDA plenaries during the duration of the fellowship (international and domestic travel). Fellows will receive a $5000 stipend for each summer of the fellowship. Fellows will be paired with a mentor from the RDA community. Through the RDA Data Share program, fellows will participate in a cohort building orientation workshop offering training in RDA and data sciences. This workshop is held at the beginning of the fellowship. RDA Data Share program coordinators will work with Fellows and mentors to clarify roles and responsibilities at the start of the fellowship. Criteria for selection: The Fellows engaging in the RDA Data Share program are sought from a variety of backgrounds: communications, social, natural and physical sciences, business, informatics, and computer science. The RDA Data Share program will look for a T-shaped skill set, where early signs of cross discipline competency are combined with evidence of teamwork and communication skills, and a deep competency in one discipline. Additional criteria include: interest in and commitment to data sharing and open access; demonstrated ability to work in teams and within a limited time framework; and benefit to the applicant?s career trajectory. Eligibility: Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at institutions of higher education in the United States, and early career researchers at U.S.-based research institutions who graduated with a relevant master?s or PhD and are no more than three years beyond receipt of their degree. Applications from traditionally underserved populations are strongly encouraged to apply. To apply: Interested candidates are invited to submit their resume/curriculum vitae and a 300-500 word statement that briefly describes their education, interests in data issues, and career goals to datashare-inquiry-l at list.indiana.edu. Candidates are encouraged to browse the RDA website https://rd-alliance.org/ and pages of interest and working groups to identify relevant topics and mutual interests. Important dates: April 16, 2015 ? Fellowship applications are due May 1, 2015 ? Award notifications June 18-19, 2015 ? Fellowship begins with the orientation workshop in Bloomington, IN ________________________________ RDA Data Share, funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation under award G-2014-13746, engages students and early career researchers in the Research Data Alliance. This engagement builds on foundational infrastructure funded by the National Science Foundation grant # ACI-1349002. ********************************** Robert H.
