Overview
1. Data-intensive science - contextual drivers• Scientific: e-Research process• Socio-political: open access to data-sets• Technical: data curation and repository infrastructure
2. An update and exemplars from the UK
3. Some issues for libraries• Engagement and advocacy• Skills and expertise• Strategic position and profile

(Very simple) e-Research Cycle and Data Curation
Formulate hypothesis / ideas, test, experiment, observe: data creation,
collection & capture
Adding value: Data linking, annotation,
visualisation, simulation
(New) knowledge extraction: data mining, modelling, analysis, synthesis
e-Infrastructure
Open access
Collaboration
Scholarly communications: data disclosure, publication, citation, discovery, re-use
Data management storage & validation: description, deposit,
self-archiving, preservation,

Digital repositories: a UK view in 2006
• Institutional repository trends D-Lib Magazine Sept 2005– Statistics: UK 31, (Germany 103, Sweden 25)– Policy: UK RCUK draft, (Germany YES), – National programmes: UK YES (Germany Sweden Netherlands)
• Pioneering work: eprints.org, ePrints UK, eBank UK……• University of Southampton has a Self-Archiving Policy and a
mandate rather than a recommendation• OpenDOAR Directory of Open Access repositories: Univ
Nottingham and Lund
• JISC £4M Digital Repository Programme + support : use cases, reference models, standards, deposit APIs, DigiRep wiki
From Andy Powell: http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/distributed-systems/jisc-ie/arch/presentations/jiie-jcs-2005/
• Global
• Inter-disciplinary
• Cross-sectoral
• Multiple format types
• Data, eprints, images…….
• e-Framework: JISC & DEST
• Defining common services + domain-specific services + repository services
8th International Bielefeld Conference 12
Trusted digital repositories• Audit Checklist for Certification Draft August 2005• Research Libraries Group RLG-NARA Taskforce • Defined criteria under 4 categories
– Linking research data to publications and to learning
• UKOLN (lead), University of Southampton, University of Manchester• Hybrid team: scientists, computer scientists and digital library specialists• e-Science application ‘Combechem’ : Grid-enabled combinatorial chemistry
+ National Crystallography Service
