Citation, Location, And Deposition in Discipline and Institutional Repositories

Project Description

This project will build and deploy a demonstration system linking publications held in two institutional repositories (Southampton University and the CCLRC) with data holdings in the British Atmospheric Data Centre. As well as the demonstration system, a workshop disseminating information about the project will be held for the environmental science community, and four significant reports will be produced:

1. User Experience of the CLADDIER System (written by active environmental scientists based on their experiences)
2. Identifier Migration Issues for Repositories
3. Recommendations for data/publication linkage (based on lessons learned, and a review of the literature)
4. Methodologies and Practices for Data Publication.

The CLADDIER system will be a step on the road to a situation where (in this case, environmental) scientists will to be able to move seamlessly from information discovery (location), through acquisition to deposition of new material, with all the digital objects correctly identified and cited. The lessons learned will be of applicability for the relationships between other discipline based repositories and institutional repositories.
