Agenda & Notes

1. Any other items for the agenda?  
   
   

2. Demo of Duke Research Data Repository (w/Globus integration) - Moira Downey & David Chandek-Stark

   1. See recording Samvera Repository Demo - Duke Research Repository

   2. A brief background on the needs for the repository and the results of identifying those needs. Discussion about the infrastructure of the various repositories that exist at Duke and why this repository is separate from the larger repository.

   3. What did they customize

      1. curatorial review process and homegrown deposit process (only curators can deposit). they felt it was best to do much of the normalization prior to deposit.

      2. csv batch uploader

      3. metadata changes are a request to the team and the curatorial team make it.

      4. tweaked the search results and the display to better match their needs

      5. doi assignment is done by the curators

      6. data set versioning, which is different than file versions. each new version of the dataset is reingested and they use DC replaced by and replaces to point the different versions to one another.

      7. use globus for submission and data dissemination for anything larger than 10GB (can use it if its lower if you already have it set up)

   4. You can find the repo at research.repository.duke.edu

      1. a walk through of the repository workflow

      2. for depositors that are regular depositors, they will reach out and ask if the depositor likes to group content together in a collection
