Prof. Simon Cox (engng) on Sharepoint “The concept that formed part of SP thinking (at Southampton) from the very inception … that ability to use SP as a way to manage or at least collaborate as part of a 5 -10 year programme of work. “The other side is what we’re doing with intellectual property and what we’re offering for students. I chair a group design project, and every single student has said ‘I just do it all on Dropbox’. The same is happening with our research. So I think we have at least to provide a level of service and a level of integration between our research experience and our teaching experience. Would these people go to Southampton rather than University of Nowhereshire on the Web or the University of Google or the University of Dropbox? These are deep questions for us. ”

e. Prints Soton: Item type: Dataset Currently EPrints v 3. 2, customised to e. Prints Soton Dataset Item Type from 2007

e. Prints Soton: start to deposit Dataset

EPrints data apps Apps available from EPrints Bazaar http: //bazaar. eprints. org/ Apps work with EPrints v 3. 3 or later

EPrints (test repo) Data. Share enabled App by Tim Brody, EPrints + Data. Pool

EPrints (test repo) Data Core enabled Data Core “adds a few fields and doesn’t remove any fields from the eprint object. It creates an alternate workflow for datasets which is much smaller than a normal eprints workflow. ” App by Patrick Mc. Sweeney

Essex Research Data metadata profile aims “Using metadata schema relevant to UK HE and research data (Data. Cite, INSPIRE and DDI 2. 1), we have developed a basic metadata profile suited to describing research data generated at institutions with disciplinary diversity. The inclusion of fields like Funder and Grant number will ensure future harvesting and linking opportunities (like RCUK Research Outcome Systems). The metadata also suits the EPSRC data registry requirements. ” http: //researchdataessex. posterous. com/reposito ry-beta-metadata-profile-released

Essex Research Data record

Essex Research Data: observations • Assumes data deposit, so no selection of EPrints Item Type • No selection of e. g. Creative Commons licence, just copyright • Requirement for Time Period suggests particular type of data expected • Fields for Geographic info (not required) suggests particular type of data expected

Architects and surroundings “On Nine Elms, London usembassylondon one plot aggressively crystalline blocks by Rogers Stirk Harbour are going up, their diamond shapes having nothing in particular to do with anything around them. On another Foster and Partners have designed a series of curving, stepped, blobby things, of the kind usually designed to take advantage of views on the Med or the Gulf, but are here facing each other like rows of daleks. Again, it shows little interest in anything around it. ” R. Moore, Utopia on Thames, Observer, 11 Nov 2012

What next for Data. Pool repositories? Sharepoint • User test and feedback sessions scheduled, will direct further development Eprints apps (1 or 2 0 f following, initially) • Develop app based on Essex data repository, providing other repositories with a 1 -click install of this profile • Build interoperability (I/O) apps: e. g. Data Management Plans, Dropbox • Automate record capture for producers of largescale, regular data outputs
