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. 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).
