Big versus Small Science “Data from experiments conducted as recently as six months ago might be suddenly deemed important, but those researchers may never find those numbers – or if they did might not know what those numbers meant”
“Lost in some research assistant’s computer, the data are often irretrievable or an undecipherable string of digits”
“To vet experiments, correct errors, or find new breakthroughs, scientists desperately need better ways to store and retrieve research data”
“Data from Big Science is … easier to handle, understand and archive. Small Science is horribly heterogeneous and far more vast. In time Small Science will generate 2-3 times more data than Big Science.”

Started Sept 2003
3 Phases development
UKOLN-led interdisciplinary team
Repository Foundations • Using simple Dublin Core
• Crystal structure• Title (Systematic IUPAC Name)• Authors• Affiliation• Creation Date
• Additional chemical information through Qualified Dublin Core• Empirical formula• International Chemical Identifier (InChI)• Compound Class & Keywords
• Specifies which ‘datasets’ are present in an entry
• Application Profile http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/projects/ebank-uk/schemas/
• DOI links http://dx.doi.org/10.1594/ecrystals.chem.soton.ac.uk/145

Federation interoperability & linking services• Roll-out in 2 phases led by University of Southampton
– Universities Sydney, Glasgow, Newcastle with eprints.org platform Version 3.0
– Universities Cambridge, STFC, ReciprocalNet, ARCHER with other platforms – Establish Federation policies, application profile, mappings
• Bi-directional links with derived articles in “publisher repositories”, IUCr, Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), Chemistry Central
• StOReLink project proposal - Test linking options: StORe middleware and CLADDIER
• OAI-ORE Testbed• Project PROSPECT – sharing & integrating ontologies
eChemistry project
Laboratory practice & workflow• Community standard CIF• Mixed lab practice – central service
facility versus single “staff crystallographer” in department
• Achieve end-to-end workflow• Challenge of instrument manufacturers
with proprietary formats• “Repository Lite” for smaller lab

eBank-UK Phase 3 Curation & Preservation Studyhttp://www.ukoln.ac.uk/projects/ebank-
uk/curation/
Examined four main areas1. Audit and certification (TRAC,
DRAMBORA, NESTOR, ISO International repository audit and certification BOF Group)
2. The Open Archival Information System (OAIS) and Representation Information (RI)
3. eBank-UK application profile and preservation metadata
4. ePrints.org repository platform
Recommendations:
Self-assessment using DRAMBORA
Consider Representation Information in wider context
Develop preservation strategy
Capture preservation metadata - PREMIS
eCrystals Federation preservation & sustainability Business models?
• Alignment with experimental services
• Hosting service • Validation service
Data repositories• Use DRAMBORA Interactive• Add PREMIS preservation metadata• Populate RRoRI with eCrystals representation information• Examine repository platform conformance to OAIS Ref Model• Survey partner preservation policies
