Dataset Discovery
Ann Brown, Dundee University, Pure UG, Aston, Jan 2012
Datasets used for
research but
not created
by researcher
Scope
•Pure - data set “catalogue”
–Link datasets to publications
–Enable dataset discovery
–Initial focus on digital datasets
–Upload to local storage via Pure
Ann Brown, Dundee University, Pure UG, Aston, Jan 2012
Approach
• Short and long term objectives.
– Short term - minimal metadata set,
compliance (linkage to outputs and
discovery).
– Longer term – more complex datasets, ability
to upload datasets via Pure to local storage,
dataset hierarchies, dataset discovery etc….

Metadata
schemas
• Cerif4Data (C4D) - http://cerif4datasets.wordpress.com/
• Datacite - http://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-2.2/doc/DataCiteMetadataKernel_v2.2.pdf
• Current dataset template in Pure
Ann Brown, Dundee University, Pure UG, Aston, Jan 2012
Dataset a new master content type?
•More flexibility to create new subtypes
•Enable distinct dataset work flow
•User experience – would be easier for
academics to find and utilise

RDM and Open Access
• Research Computing service
– excellent work with Arts & Humanities researchers
– See http://research-computing.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk
• Institutional engagement gearing up and
recognised as a key priority – across all disciplines
• Now have a draft OA policy – data sets included
• Co-ordinated advice to researchers
