Introducing Jisc

Jisc is the UK higher, further education and skills sectors’ not-for-profit organisation

for digital services and solutions

Operate shared digital infrastructure and

services

Provide trusted advice and practical assistance for

universities, colleges and learning providers

We…

Negotiate sector-wide deals and conditions with IT vendors

and commercial publishers

RDSS: How and Why?

» Drivers

» More than £5 million investment over 2 years

» Open access

» Sector defined requirements

› “R@R” co-design

› Over half the HEI sector involved

Reduced incomeRisk to research funding

Lost value of research work (17% lost key data – DAF survey)Loss of research data

Legal threat and cost (Unlimited fines with GDPR)Leakage of sensitive data

Key staff leave (75% EXPECT HEI to do this)Researcher reputation

Defensible integrity of research, responding to FOI etc. (e.g. Climategate £10m?)

Institution reputation

Inefficient research and over-expensive ITCost and risk of delivery

» RDSS pulling metadata and files from API into preservation systems

» We are trialling both Archivematica & Preservica

» Nothing passed back to Pure ... yet

CRIS2018

Goal for St Andrews: sustainable digital preservation

» Integrate with our existing systems particularly, Pure - to keep single interface for researchers and rekeying of metadata and transfer of data to a minimum

» Provide a preservation platform/service - integrated with Pure; two-way – preservation status back into Pure

» Solution that is flexible e.g. loosely coupled integrations -based on standards, to ensure we can swap systems in/out easily

» Solution that works for other digital content e.g. university records, building plans, e-theses, digitised special collections

RDSS: Priorities

» First priority is research data

› Research output (Article/Thesis etc.)

› Research data

› Research software/code

› Provenance metadata (method)

» But also…..

› Preservation systems tailored for multiple digital objects and data types

› Use cases and pilots for objects beyond research data

RDSS: Modelling interoperability

CRIS2018

RDSS: CERIFication project

CRIS2018

Project goals

» RDSS logical data model mapped to CERIF logical data model, including full documentation.

» Specific use cases of RDSS, or related services, mapped to CERIF-XML and accompanying guidelines for use.

» CERIF model feedback to euroCRIS and consideration in enhancements to the standard.

» Engagement via workshop/webinar(s) to disseminate outcomes from project.

Mapping example - CDM to CERIF

CRIS2018

An example of data model economy

CRIS2018

CDM 3.0.0CDM 2.0.0

Alignment with CERIF resulted in handling session (authentication) metadata elsewhere and keeping the CDM about core metadata fields to aid interoperability with CRISes.
