Case Study<br/><br/>Authors: Christensen, Sten<br/><br/>Abstract: The Sydney eScholarship Repository [http://ses.library.usyd.edu.au] is an initiative of the University of Sydney Library and its commitment to support the research activities of the University of Sydney by providing an Open Access platform for research communities to safely store and access documents, publications and data. The University Library manages two repositories, one for Open Access material and one for material directly related for HERDC and the upcoming ERA exercise. The latter is a dark archive due to the copyright restriction of the stored material. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/4996 Title: Research data and repository metadata. Policy and technical issues at the University of Sydney Library.<br/><br/>Authors: Brownlee, Rowan<br/><br/>Abstract: The University of Sydney Library’s repository contains research outputs primarily comprising traditional publication types. Many academics manage data collections within databases and spreadsheets using metadata dissimilar to the repository’s Dublin Core schema. During 2007 and 2008 the author explored issues surrounding submission of a small range of research data collections and associated metadata. Native metadata structures were analysed and mapped to DC and scripts translated, packaged and transferred collections. This paper discusses metadata management and repository service levels and sustainability. It describes the Library’s approach to defining service requirements and includes discussion of various metadata management options. It also describes related activities within the University of Sydney to develop eResearch services and to harmonise the roles and relationships of eResearch support service providers<br/><br/>Description: PDF version of article preprint, following peer review. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/3559 Title: From Research Management System to Digital Repository: Managing and storing research outputs at the University of Sydney<br/><br/>Authors: Browne, Gary; Appia, Venkatakrishnan Balasubramanian; Christensen, Sten<br/><br/>Abstract: This poster demonstrates a system for transferring data and objects from the University of Sydney Research Office research management system (RMS) to a Library supported digital repository (DSpace). http://hdl.handle.net/2123/2646 Title: Scholarly publishing within an eScholarship framework – Sydney eScholarship as a model of integration and sustainability<br/><br/>Authors: Coleman, Ross<br/><br/>Abstract: This paper will discuss and describe an operational example of a business model where scholarly publication (Sydney University Press) functions within an eScholarship framework that also integrates digital collections, open access repositories and eResearch data services. The paper will argue that such services are complementary, and that such a level of integration benefits the development of a sustainable publishing operation. The paper describes the business model as a dynamic hybrid. The kinds of values considered include tangible and intangible benefits as well as commercial income. The paper illustrates the flexible operational model with four brief cases studies enabled by integrating repository, digital library, and data services with an innovative publishing service.
