Providing an overview of
deposit usecase scenarios

Deposit Projects Meeting, Birmingham, Mar 1st – DepositMO, JISCDura, RePosit

3. Measuring success of strategies to promote deposit
Measuring success for particular deposit strategies:
much harder than getting a general picture
Specific questions should be asked to repository managers, such
as:
- was any given automated deposit strategy used for content ingest
purposes?
- could an approximate amount of items thus ingested be estimated as a
percentage of total item input?

5. SONEX are…
As of Nov'09 the workgroup coordinator Pablo
de Castro changed affiliation from Spanish
National Research Council (CSIC) to Carlos
III University Madrid, and Richard Jones
(Symplectic Ltd) became a member of the
group in Apr'10 replacing Jim Downing.

6. How it all started:
Institutional Repositories Workshop (IRW’09)

19. SONEX usecase scenario IV:
Deposit via personal software

20. (Potential) SONEX usecase scenario V:
are IRs a proper target for research data & datasets?

21. Widening deposit use-case analysis: beyond
research papers
First Task is ‘Re-thinking the Use-Case Actors’ to establish
Use Case Scenarios and to pose question of relevance of
Institutional Repository (see DISC-UK DataShare Project):
Research Data (then learning materials) [a first cut]
1. (Individual/Group) Originator/Researcher
1. Via the PI (Award Holder)
2. Where there is no PI
2. Depositor (not originator) – mediated deposit
1. Where agent reports to PI
2. Where agent does not
3. Institutional/Departmental
4. Libraries (or other long-lasting organisations)
5. Repository/Archive/Database Manager
6. Publisher
7. etc

22. Some questions on research data management
Are IRs a proper target for research data deposit?
Could Sword deal with data transfer?
Available workforce for dealing with data
management: is it big enough? Trained enough?
Research data file sizes: should deposit by reference
be considered instead/besides binary data transfer?
At what point along the publication lifecycle should
dataset deposit take place?

24. SONEX current tasks
Widening deposit use-case analysis in cooperation with
selected projects at JISC Deposit call: further use-case
scenarios, more digital object types (beyond research
papers)
Analysis on research data
management from JISCMRD
environment
Providing support to selected projects at
JISC Deposit call
Cooperating along Sword v2 definition
Gathering information on new & ongoing
deposit-related projects and initiatives,
