Code of Conduct

We want Samvera Community to be a fun, informative, engaging event for all our partners and participants. We've got a few strategies to help make this happen:

1. 1. We encourage everyone to apply the Samvera community principles of openness, inquiry, and respect in their interactions at the event.

   2. We have officially adopted an Anti-Harassment Policy.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to community helpers .

  • (this demo was not recorded)
  • Sara Gould and Jenny Basford from the British Library gave this demo
  • this is about... https://iro.bl.uk
  • already had... https://ethos.bl.uk
    • exploring whether Hyku will be suitable to handle all of ethos in the future
  • Independent research organization
  • Decided to have own repo but also on behalf of others. 
  • Launched shared repo process 18 months ago. 
  • With Ubiquity and Hyku
  • Launched live in late November. 
  • Will eventually extend to more organizations.
  • Features
    • search across organizations with items in repo
    • can go also go to each individually
    • support for embargo, including mix of embargoed and public within an item
    • Filter bar – resource type, collection, creator, institution, availability, keyword, language
    • featured collections, recent additions
    • analytics across everything, can also do it for individual organizations
    • Default Hyku with snazzy front end design over the top
  • Specific customizations by Ubiquity, to be eventually contributed back to community
    • created 11 new work types with specific metadata: article, book, dataset, exhibition, report, thesis or dissertation (exploring suitability; support for doctoral partnerships)
    • ISNI, ORCID (for authors and contributors), DOI integrations.
    • clustered metadata — multiple authors contributors –
    • Datacite supported outside of Hyku
    • complex workflows, but works well
    • Repository of Scotland eprints were mapped and imported (huge job/accomplishment) - field mapping and validation was a lot of work. Not within Hyku. Python. Partners are working on a community tool that will be made part of Hyku. Current solution is proprietary - great "Repo-importer" tool (Ubiquity). 
    • Content specific buttons in public interface (e.g. "open in viewer")
