Discussion: Is this the type of DSpace training we want to offer in South America?
- Are we interested in having a user group meetings plus training?
- Co-location would be possible
- UG meetings are usually less formal than training and organized by the community
- Reviewed draft Case for Collaborative International DSpace Training
- Alberto--Camp format seems appealing, DuraSpace-tested, a couple of new issues could be added– infrastructure for data repositories
- Materials replication/re-use, can it scale up to perhaps serve other continents, Africa and Asia?
- Washington–Agree, step by step instructions, common tech issues; two main issues:
- Support for basic use and configuration
- Elegant data model (not sure I heard this correctly)
- Aggregator system (IRs content to national repositories) prevalent in Latin America
- Need help training people in use of DSpace and basic configurations
- Kathleen--What do aggregators (national repos) need from people who are running DSpace or other systems?
- General repo principles and best practices, learn how to use DSpace in the particular networked systems that exists in Latin America
- Debra–perhaps we could meet in Brisbane (Kathleen, Alberto, Washington attending OR)
- Alberto--Camp format seems appealing, DuraSpace-tested, a couple of new issues could be added– infrastructure for data repositories
- Other aspects to consider in a general curriculum
- Metadata guidelines for implementation and alignment with COAR work on metadata guidelines
- Importance of interoperability—work together on standards
- Regional scale maybe something about statistics or best practices
- Metadata transformation and how we can better collect information from he ecosystem
- Licensing issues: content versions and other content availability issues
- Integration with other systems, many institutions are looking for a CRIS system and looking for a data repository, insights or examples of these integrations
- Point out the importance of integration of repos and national portals
- Focus on the interface and OAI, how it could be configurable to export the metadata from the repo
- Other aspects to consider in a general curriculum
Potential funding agencies outside of US
- Debra and Carol have been looking into potential Mellon and Moore funding areas
- Challenging in rest of world, no private funding, geographic area funding through national programs
Next steps
- Over the next couple of weeks, collectively add to draft Google doc
- Meet at beginning of August to include Michele Menniell
