Date: 18 July 2014 12:51<br>Subject: [ckan-global-user-group] Bristol University launches CKAN-fronted Research Data Repository<br>To: <a href="mailto:ckan-global-user-group@googlegroups.com">ckan-global-user-group@googlegroups.com</a><br>
<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div>Bristol University has launched a Research Data Repository using the CKAN data portal: <a href="http://data.bris.ac.uk/data/" target="_blank">http://data.bris.ac.uk/data/</a></div><div><br></div>
<div>This offers a means for Bristol’s researchers to share research data openly with the world. The repository draws together data deposited with national subject repositories over the past 40 years, alongside more recent datasets that have been published to support research publications. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The local research data is stored in a separate data storage facility run by the Advanced Computing Research Centre at Bristol, with metadata imported into CKAN via an implementation of the CKAN harvester. Metadata for externally hosted data is imported via a spreadsheet.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Sharing research data can help to increase the impact of the data and associated research through greater citation and re-use. Each dataset is assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which provides a persistent identifier to allow the data to be easily cited by other researchers. The DOIs will eventually resolve to the relevant CKAN package pages.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The CKAN interface is intended to provide a user friendly point of access to Bristol's research data and, to help with this, we have implemented parent/child package relationships to break down some of the larger datasets into more manageable sections.</div>
