2. www.serscida.eu Boundary conditions? Staff number, skills Financial resources Time frame Legacy tools, systems Which goals you wish to achieve? Mission Formal requirements (national policy, integration with others) Users‘ demand, community services Decision about choosing the tool

3. www.serscida.eu Other criteria in decission making Custom-built system Clearl functional specification! Existing tool Open source Not open

4. www.serscida.eu An arbitrary case for discussion: UCLA http://kuscholarworks.ku.edu/dspace/bitstream/1808/11049/3/Iverson_UCLA_NADDI2013.pdf http://kuscholarworks.ku.edu/dspace/bitstream/1808/11049/3/Iverson_UCLA_NADDI2013.pdf Boundary conditons UCLA Social Science Data Archive One archivist One programmer analyst Student interns Manage survey/quantitative data Requirements Serve all UCLA quantitative researchers Provide reference, cataloging/metadata Long term archiving Support in data rescue Data Management Security Easier to find for data Easier for faculty to document data More visibility for data (web-based) Support a disaster plan Document the entire data lifecycle Operate according to TRAC processes and policies Custom-built system but limited IT resources Limited capability Universal repository systems Fedora Islandora Dryad DuraSpace Hydra(ngea)… Would have needed a lot of IT resources Deployment can difficult Cost was way over what we could afford Technology really didn’t fit with what we wanted to do

7. www.serscida.eu The UCLA solution/ Lesson learned One-size fits all solutions don’t; interoperability does.

8. www.serscida.eu More cross-walks mentioned: „ A paper titled "Integrating Colectica, Nesstar, and DDI-Lifecycle" will be presented in collaboration with Nesstar. This enables publishing data on the web using Nesstar while managing the DDI-Lifecycle metadata in Colectica. „ http://www.prweb.com/releases/IASSIST/Data/prweb10688814.htm http://www.prweb.com/releases/IASSIST/Data/prweb10688814.htm DDI + API: building services on top of your existing DDI holdings A Nesstar Server is an example of a web-based container that can store and make available DDI metadata to consuming applications Harvester taking snapshots for persistent archiving in DataVerse (beta) http://www.rdl.sfu.ca/IASSIST/index.php/Program/d1
