Research Data of the 2014 Census of Open Access Repositories in Germany, Austria and Switzerland
<p>The "2014 Census of Open Access Repositories in Germany, Austria and Switzerland” (2014 Census) is a study on the green open access landscape conducted in the course of a project seminar at the Berlin School of Library and Information Science (BSLIS) at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. The 2014 Census not only succeeds the "2012 Census of Open Access Repositories in Germany"[1] but enhances it by adding an online survey to the qualitative analysis of the open access repository websites and the automatic validation of its metadata. Like in 2012 the 2014 Census gives insights into the development of open access repositories and current trends in repository design being of substantial use to open access repository operators.</p> <p>This 2014 Census data set represents the data collected in three different ways:</p> <ul> <li>qualitative analysis of the open access repository websites</li> <li>automatic validation of the metadata via OAI-PMH using the DINI-Validator [2] </li> <li>online survey of repository operators</li> </ul> <p>As in 2012 [3] the data set is provided in XLSX as well as in CSV format. The columns represent the criteria and the rows represent the analyzed open access repositories. In the XLSX file the header row gives the definition of each criterion in English and German. In the CSV "content" file the header row is in English short terms. The respective English and German definition can be found in the CSV "readme" file.</p> <p> </p> <p>[1] Vierkant, P.

Rosalia: An experimental research site to study hydrological processes in a forest catchment - data repository
<p>This repository is a supplement to the paper <strong>Fürst, J., et al. (2021). “Rosalia: an experimental research site to study hydrological processes in a forest catchment.” Earth Syst. Sci. Data 13(8): 4019-4034.</strong></p> <p>Experimental watersheds have a long tradition as research sites in hydrology and have been used as far back as the late 19<sup>th</sup> and early 20<sup>th</sup> century. The University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna (BOKU) has been operating the experimental research forest site called “Rosalia” with an area of 950 ha since 1875 to support and facilitate research and education. Recently, BOKU researchers from various disciplines extended the “Rosalia” instrumentation towards a full ecological-hydrological experimental watershed. The overall objective is to implement a multi-scale, multi-disciplinary observation system that facilitates the study of water, energy and solute transport processes in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum.</p> <p>This repository contains the datasets collected by a monitoring network of 4 discharge gauging stations, 7 rain-gauges, together with observations of air and water temperature, relative humidity and conductivity. In four profiles, soil water content and temperature are recorded in different depths. In 2019, additionally a program to collect isotopic data in precipitation and discharge was started. On one site, also Nitrate, TOC and turbidity are monitored. All data collected since 2015, including in total 56 high resolution time series data (10 min sampling interval), are provided to the scientific community.</p>
3D models (NXS): Towards a spatial data repository for archaeological research in the Romanian Mostiștea Basin and Danube Valley
<p><span>Spatial data are crucial in archaeological research, where orthophotos, digital elevation models, and 3D models are widely used for mapping, documenting, and monitoring archaeological sites. The introduction of affordable and compact unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has significantly advanced the use of UAV-based photogrammetry in the past 20 years. Recently, compact airborne systems have also enabled the capture of thermal, multispectral, and aerial laser scanning data. This study presents the data acquired with different platforms and sensors at Chalcolithic archaeological sites in Romania's Mostiștea Basin and Danube Valley. Since laser scanning and photogrammetry generate large data volumes, data storage and dissemination must also be carefully considered. Based on a thorough study of system performance, data acquisition and processing methods, and data outputs, a workflow for the systematic mapping and documentation of sites has been proposed. Given the experience obtained in the last 5 summer campaigns (2018-2023), 19 sites have been accurately mapped, of which 5 sites are mapped using airborne laser scanning. 18 sites are documented using multispectral photogrammetry, and for 17 sites, interactive image-based 3D models are acquired using true-color photogrammetry. All data are stored on a publicly accessible website for visualization, as well as on an open-data platform for data exchange. For the multispectral data, a raster tile service has been implemented, allowing the use of the data in a GIS environment.</span></p>

How to choose a research data repository software? Experience report. Table of requirements.
<p>In the age of digital transformation, scientific and social interest for data and data products is constantly on the rise. The quantity as well as the variety of digital research data is increasing significantly. This raises the question about the governance of this data. For example, how to store the data so that it is presented transparently, freely accessible and subsequently available for re-use in the context of good scientific practice. Research data repositories provide solutions to these issues.</p> <p>Considering the variety of repository software, it is sometimes difficult to identify a fitting solution for a specific use case. For this purpose a detailed analysis of existing software is needed. Presented table of requirements can serve as a starting point and decision-making guide for choosing the most suitable for your purposes repository software. This table is dealing as a supplementary material for the paper "How to choose a research data repository software? Experience report."

FAIRness of Repositories & Their Data: A Report from LIBER's Research Data Management Working Group
<p>Data repositories play a crucial role in the evolution of Open Science. The FAIR Data Principles establish how to make data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (Wilkinson et al., 2016). The FAIR principles are as follows: </p> <p><strong>To Be Findable</strong></p> <ul> <li>F1. (meta)data are assigned a globally unique and eternally persistent identifier.</li> <li>F2. data are described with rich metadata.</li> <li>F3. (meta)data are registered or indexed in a searchable resource.</li> <li>F4. metadata specify the data identifier.</li> </ul> <p><strong>To Be Accessible:</strong></p> <ul> <li>A1 (meta)data are retrievable by their identifier using a standardized communications protocol.</li> <li>A1.1 the protocol is open, free, and universally implementable.</li> <li>A1.2 the protocol allows for an authentication and authorization procedure, where necessary.</li> <li>A2 metadata are accessible, even when the data are no longer available.</li> </ul> <p><strong>To Be Interoperable</strong></p> <ul> <li>I1. (meta)data use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation.</li> <li>I2. (meta)data use vocabularies that follow FAIR principles.</li> <li>I3. (meta)data include qualified references to other (meta)data.</li> </ul> <p><strong>To Be Reusable</strong></p> <ul> <li>R1. meta(data) have a plurality of accurate and relevant attributes.</li> <li>R1.1. (meta)data are released with a clear and accessible data usage license.</li> <li>R1.2. (meta)data are associated with their provenance.</li> <li>R1.3. (meta)data meet domain-relevant community standards. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Methodology</strong></p> <p>Based on the FAIR Data Principles, two questionnaires were created. The first (hereafter #Q1 - see Appendix #1) targeted repository managers and/or librarians and consisted of 40 questions. The second (hereafter #Q2 - see Appendix #2) targeted technical staff responsible for repository development and maintenance and consisted of 25 questions. </p> <p>Members of LIBER’s <a href="https://libereurope.eu/strategy/research-infrastructures/rdm/">Research Data Management (RDM) Working Group</a> circulated the questionnaires between December 2018 and February 2019. Responses were collected from managers and/or librarians of 29 repositories for the first (#Q1) questionnaire. </p> <p>In addition, technical staff responsible for the development and maintenance of 14 repositories (Table 1) responded to the second (#Q2) questionnaire. In 11 cases, repositories filled out both #Q1 and #Q2. </p> <p>In this report, the responses for both questionnaires have been merged and analyzed to gain a comprehensive picture about FAIRness at the level of repositories and their data.<br> </p>
