Hot Topics: The DuraSpace Community Webinar Series, Research Data in Repositories 

Series Six: "Research Data in Repositories"
Curated by David Minor, Research Data Curation Program, UC San Diego Library

Series six will highlight details on the implementation of a new curation program at the University of California San Diego Library. For more than two years, librarians and computing professionals worked with researchers from diverse disciplines to conduct a pilot program to pinpoint research data curation practices that could be used across campus. The series will present in-depth looks at the technologies, metadata services and decision making processes behind the program presented by the people who developed them. Researchers who participated in the program will also speak on their goals and experiences.   

 Webinar 2: Metadata and Repository Services for Research Data Curation

The second webinar will be an in-depth look at the two core curation services. First, a metadata librarian will present the wide variety of discussions that were held with researchers, focusing on commonalities and differences in needs and expectations, and the data model that resulted. Then, a development manager will address how the Library's linked data asset management system was updated to express complex research data objects.

Presented by:  Declan Fleming, Chief Technology Strategist along with, Arwen Hutt, Metadata Librarian and Matt Critchlow, Manager of Development and Web Services, The UC San Diego Library.
