  • Different Preservation Levels: the Case of Scholarly Digital Editions
    Oltmanns, E, et al. 2019. Different Preservation Levels: The Case of Scholarly Digital Editions. Data Science Journal, 18: 51, pp. 1–9. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/dsj-2019-051 RESEARCH PAPER Different Preservation Levels: The Case of Scholarly Digital Editions Elias Oltmanns, Tim Hasler, Wolfgang Peters-Kottig and Heinz-Günter Kuper Department Scientific Information, Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum für Informationstechnik Berlin, DE Corresponding author: Elias Oltmanns ([email protected]) Ensuring the long-term availability of research data forms an integral part of data management services. Where OAIS compliant digital preservation has been established in recent years, in almost all cases the services aim at the preservation of file-based objects. In the Digital Human- ities, research data is often represented in highly structured aggregations, such as Scholarly Digital Editions. Naturally, scholars would like their editions to remain functionally complete as long as possible. Besides standard components like webservers, the presentation typically relies on project specific code interacting with client software like webbrowsers. Especially the latter being subject to rapid change over time invariably makes such environments awkward to maintain once funding has ended. Pragmatic approaches have to be found in order to balance the curation effort and the maintainability of access to research data over time. A sketch of four potential service levels aiming at the long-term availability of research data in the humanities is outlined: (1) Continuous Maintenance, (2) Application Conservation, (3) Application Data Preservation, and (4) Bitstream Preservation. The first being too costly and the last hardly satisfactory in general, we suggest that the implementation of services by an infrastructure provider should concentrate on service levels 2 and 3.

    International Journal of Library and Information Studies Vol. 6(4) Oct-Dec, 2016 www.ijlis.org ISSN: 2231-4911 Use of Library’s Digital Repository to Increase library users Mrs. Borade Gauri Prashant Librarian GES’s Sir Dr. M.S. Gosavi Polytechnic Institute Bytco campus, Nshik Road Nashik – 422 101. e-mail: [email protected] Abstract - This paper describes faculty deposit in digital repository directly affects to increase digital library users. This research paper highlights benefits of digital repository. Academic libraries need to increase their digital access by linkup webpage of Library with institutional website. To make Libraries webpage there are various webpage designing software like JOOMLA, Wordpress, Drupal etc.With the help of digital repository software’s like DSPACE, EPrints, Fedora Commons, Invenio, MyCoRe,Opus and SobekCM librarians can make institutional repository. Keywords: Digital repository, Faculty Deposit, librarian’s role Introduction: As per new norms of universities all granted and non-granted colleges needs to do Accreditation. On the basis of accreditation rules and regulations there is a norm that each college library must have their own digital repository which auto counts the no. of users of digital library. A digital repository means it is a mechanism to manage and to store digital content. Repositories can be used to focus institutional workout done by staff/faculty. By research outputs such as journal articles or research data, e-theses, e-learning objects and teaching materials, and administrative data we can include in repository content. By this research paper explores faculty deposits in institutional repositories within selected disciplines and identifies the different navigational paths to institutional repositories from library Web site.

  • Global Picture of OAI-PMH Repositories Through the Analysis of 6 Key Open Archive Meta-Catalogs
    Global picture of OAI-PMH repositories through the analysis of 6 key open archive meta-catalogs Authors: Arnaud Gaudinat, Jonas Beausire, Megan Fuss, Elisa Banfi, Julien Gobeill, Patrick Ruch Abstract By the end of the late 90’s the Open Archives Initiative needed direction to insure its improvement and thus, created the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) standard. The movement showed a rise in popularity, followed by a decline then a relative stabilization. This process was essentially a way to ensure the viability of open archive repositories. However, a meta-catalog containing an ensemble of repositories was never established, which lead to confusion of what could be found in said catalogs. This study ultimately aims to find out what repository content can be found and where with the use of the 6 key meta-catalogs. Although they undoubtedly have numerous limitations pertaining to the available data, this article seeks to compare the common data in each meta- catalog and estimates which repositories are found within them (with approx. less than 1% in common within the 6 meta-catalog). Decisively, this paper identifies the need to collate this data (with a total of 42.3% OAI-PMH repositories specific to each meta-catalog) and improve current search tools, hence portraying the benefits of a comprehensible single unifying meta-catalog for end users. Introduction The Santa Fe Convention (Sompel 2000) of October 1999 brought together open archives managers around the Open Archives Initiative (OAI). It was the starting point and the foundation of a technical and organizational framework for a standard that improves the interoperability and the exchange of data from archives.

    Chapter 7 INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORY SYSTEM OVERVIEWS The number of institutional repository systems is small but appears poised for tremendous growth in the coming years. This chapter contains brief descriptions of many of the IR systems in use, followed by systems that are in development or not yet available outside their home institution. This list, however, is not exhaustive. For more information on any of these IR systems, check the system’s official website and read some of the articles and documents listed in Appendix A. Speaking directly to current users of the systems also is helpful. Each description is followed by a few examples of live implementations. Appendix B provides more examples. ARNO The Academic Research in Netherlands Online project (ARNO) began in Septem- ber 2000 through a collaboration of Tilburg University, University of Twente, See “ARNO Deliverables” and University of Amsterdam. An outcome of the project is an open-source at www.uba.uva.nl/en/ projects/arno. repository system, also named ARNO. The software is just one of several of the project’s derivatives, which include ARNO, www.uba.uva.nl/ arno some interesting research into aspects of digital scholarly communication, including attitudes and perceptions of electronic publishing and peer review.

Dash. Bibliographic Informatics Division, (Indian Medlars Centre) National Informatics Centre, A - Block, CGO Complex, Lodhi Road, New Delhi-110003. (India). [email protected] Phone: 91-11-24362359 Key Words: Open Access; Institutional Repositories; Subject Repositories; Opportunities and Challenges; Medical and Allied Sciences; Emerging Roles for Library and Information Science Professionals Abstract: National Informatics Centre had established a subject repository in May 2005. It is meant for Medical and Allied Sciences and named as OpenMED@NIC <http://openmed.nic.in>. It has MeSH® based subject categorization and this makes it one of its own kind. Taking OpenMED@NIC as a case – this paper discusses key issues in establishing and maintaining an open access repository. Librarians and information science professionals can play active role in providing access and exposure to quality research and academic content generated in their institutions. Mature and standard open sources softwares are now available for setting up repositories. Libraries can install one of these on existing institutional or library servers to setup repositories. However to ensure better access and faster response time dedicated hardware and reliable connectivity would be required. Librarians and information science professional can play important role in exposing intellectual content produced by their organizations.
