Notas del editor
- Hello Thank you Valerie and the Repository Fringe organisers for inviting us to speak. I am Rory McNicholl…
- Explain who ULCC are and where we came from Introduce the team I work in Talk about the research technologies service and our move towards the community platform What this has meant for OA and RDM Ubiquitous musing
- The university of London a potted history
- Assess the probable computer needs, during the next five years, of users in Universities and civil research establishments receiving support from Government funds. Ie How can we use these commputery things to ensure our research grants are being put to best use Incidentally: I tried to read, hit paywall :|
- The great and the good of the University of London Colleges deliberated for a while in this beautifully appointed wood panelled Art-Deco debating chamber
- Which is inside this London landmark architectural master piece…
- And commissioned this prefabricated rabbit-warren to built down the road In 1968 20 Guildford street opened and many wonderful things happened here at or around the forefront of computing
- By the 1980’s that building was stuffed to the gills with computing muscle that could be called on by researchers from around the region. That’s right your eyes do not deceive you… Integral leatherette public seating!
- After the 80’s the prevailing notion was that there was less need for a regional research computer centre But the know how accumulated in 20 guildford st was put to good use In 2009ish ULCC moved into Senate House (the basement of course) Today we a big data centre, are a JANET point of Presence and the moodle service boasts over 3 million MAUs (not quite as many as facebook) That’s nice but what are we doing at the repository fringe?
- For that you can blame this person, and I don’t mean Princess Anne Kevin and his colleagues at ULCC and SHL knew that digital objects were at imminent risk so with the help of the then PRO, NDAD was kicked off to Preserve Describe Provide access To research data help at the PRO
- Before the now TNA took the project in house the kernel of the DART team had begun to work on new projects DPTP Consultancy on among other things: digital preservation, digitisation Hosted repository service that is now the “Research technologies Service”
- Here is an overview of the research technologies service as it stands at the moment We have around 30 institutions who host various sections of this diagram with us
- What tech do we use to provide the service
- Here is a sample of some of the 3rd party services that our institutions need their RT systems to work with Including Institutional HR and publication databases Current research information systems Various harvester identifiers… Various levels of ease! This is a only a sample of what we have had experience with…
- I made an attempt to show the broader research tech picture… But I gave up There are specific projects who have been looking at this area for ages, I’ll read their reports
- Back to what I know. How do we implement and maintain our own little diagrams Flexible small team but well supported Community drive We are a part of an HE institution (despite the fact that they keep us in the basement) Fluid Providing the correct service for our customers is the most important thing
- Putting that in to practice looks a bit like this Funders and policy and mandates The community Our interaction with them and the technology platform (specifically in this case Eprints) Community of libraries, research offices IT departments and developers
- Some of these things existed before the CP, but the CP is a place they can hang out and get looked after Here are some contributions to Open access for EPrints
- Here are some for Research data managment
- And some others around presentation, interoperability and new standards
- Growing interest in OJS (open journals system) and OMP (Open monographs platform). Can we help to channel development of really useful tools? Our bigger siblings up stairs have been making some interesting appointments in the area of “Digital” ULCC ready to help out. Taking some of the nous within our team putting it together with some partners and tech to provide a preservation service (Arkivum with artefactual platforms, or maybe something simpler) The work around RDM has led us to think about ways we can help institutions further upstream. Whilst realising this is a busy domain. Eprints/ORCID integration exists. Can we help with getting greater impact from ORCID for institutions?
- Lastly a cheeking job posting. We’re Hiriing!
