Archival Storage


What is the DataVault?• It’s a platform (a bit of web-based software), not a storage system

• You still need an archival storage system

• It is provided via a RESTful API• But also comes with a default web user interface application

• It’s doesn’t undertake any active preservation activities• It does collect metadata and package the data for long-term storage


DataVault use cases• Store golden-copy data so that it can’t be changed

• Storing finalised data that can’t be openly shared (or ‘everything else’)

• Retaining old data in case it can be re-analysed later on

• Retention to meet funder requirements

Community feedback

»Phase 1› “it’s genius, it’s just what we need”

– Gill Hamilton: Digital Access Manager, National Library of Scotland

»Phase 2› “with these sort of annotations on the clip, then I would

be using nothing else for the rest of my life” – Peter Hohenstein: Group Leader, Developmental Biology, Roslin Institute

› “getting that 360 degree picture of a research output would be really useful if it was easy and not the pain that it is today”– Marc Silberschatz: Theatre Researcher, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
