1. SEAD Virtual Archive :: A Thin Layer for Scientific Discovery and Long-Term Preservation Inna Kouper April 17, 2013 @inkouper @SEADdatanet #dlbbspring2013

2. SEAD DataNet Project Welcome to SEAD! Where you can: Find Data Work With Your Data Curate and Preserve Data Explore Sustainability Research Approach: Website with 4 categories Landing areas addressing different activities Common look-and-feel for components Cross-links to support activities

3. SEAD Virtual Archive Purpose: Long-term preservation and discovery – Thin virtualization layer on top of multiple university Institutional Repositories (IRs) – Enhances IRs by being sustainability science-aware Team: IU Libraries, UIUC Libraries, and Data To Insight Center at IU Starting point: Data Conservancy code (Johns Hopkins U.) – Extended for sustainability science long tail use cases

4. Active Curation Repository (ACR) SEAD Virtual Archive IUScholarworks UIUC Ideals Making Data Sustainable: Use Case 4 Packaged object Preserve data Keep private for 5 years Index data, metadata and relationships Collected data about Lower Mississippi flood Stored in Active Repository Organized as a collection Marked “Ready for publication” Collections visible to team only for 5 years Deposited to repository based on dataset creator affiliation Find by author, location, keywords or repository

5. Preview Data Upload Data to VA Run Virus Checking File Charact- erization Mint DOI Deposit to IR (& cloud) Update DOI target Index Metadata Index Scientific Metadata Large Dataset Decision Version Data IR Match- maker Index Scientific Metadata Accept Repository Agreement Ingest Workflow into SEAD VA Link to live demo http://seadva.d2i.indiana.edu:8181/sead-access/#loginhttp://seadva.d2i.indiana.edu:8181/sead-access/#login

6. Datasets available for publication are converted to SEAD packages

7. Stage 1 of Ingest

8. Stage 2 of Ingest

9. Final Stage of Ingest

10. Dataset is published into IDEALS and indexed by SEAD VA

11. Successful automatic ingest into UIUC IDEALS repository

12. Communication with IRs Datasets deposited into IU SDA, IU Scholworks and UIUC IDEALS

13. Role of Enhanced Metadata 20 NCED datasets encoded in FGDC metadata standard – Theme and place keywords, rights, data sources, etc. – Keywords and descriptors for faceted search – More ways to browse and discover!

14. FGDC keywords Geographic Location Institutional Repository Faceted browsing

15. FGDC keywords and other information are part of each dataset description Detailed metadata view

16. VIVO Data Citation DOI Authors Subject areas Abstract Geographic focus Rights information

17. NCED visibility via DataONE Datasets can be searched and filtered in DataONE Details, metadata and download links

18. Summary IRs can be a viable solution for data management and preservation Sustainability data need exposure via multiple means of access and discovery SEAD VA can help, but… More work is needed to move SEAD VA forward To move IU to the position of leadership in data stewardship and exchange closer collaborations between IU libraries, UITS and research centers are needed
