    • (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")

    • Feel free to contact BL with questions or more information.

  • Next f2f Partner Meeting:  Emory University, Atlanta - Monday April 27th and Tuesday 28th (to lunchtime). Hotel suggestions and unordered list of discussion topics on the meeting wiki page.
