What We Do

• We had a coherent world ~1880-1980

• Right now, everything is ad hoc and financially draining

…but the digital has disrupted

the landscape.

What We Have What We Need

• Small, individual projects that

attack pieces of the whole

• A digital infrastructure that

combines the campus, clouds, and

crowds in new ways?

• Ad hoc funding model that is

disjointed/splintered

• Sustainable funding model that

privileges at-scale solutions

• Data/publications in myriad forms

and locations and in exponentially

growing amounts

• Data/publications that are

discoverable, accessible, and that

can be data-mined, reused, and

preserved

ARL

• This model could save institutions dollars in

multiple areas such maintaining locally large

physical and digital collections.

• Cost savings would filter into doing research

more efficiently and decrease duplicated

efforts.

For example, if we had a bi-national

system to preserve the print legacy in

five regional repositories:

For every 100 million fewer volumes to

maintain, we could regain circa

1.3 million sq. ft./

$1.8 billion of space to re-allocate

Discovery Curation Access and Reuse

Preservation

Instead of every institution recreating the cycle alone…

… let’s connect existing large-scale digital initiatives in a coherent system.

Harvesting data from:

NOTIFICATION SERVICE STATUS

ARL

NOTIFICATION SERVICE STATUS

Plans for expansion include 10 more

campus sites from DuraSpace and bepress,

harvest of ORCID profiles, addition of

DMPTool data, and the creation of a “push

API” to make further participation easier for

some sources.

ARL

Push Protocol

All of our sources have been harvested to date, but we also plan to

create a “push API” to make participation simpler for some sources.

Consumption of Notifications

We are recruiting participants to consume the Notification Service

output. We hope to have both academic and commercial consumers

test the service.

Public Release

After our Fall 2014 prototype expansion we will revise the service into

its first beta release in early 2015. We plan the 1.0 release in Fall 2015.

SHARE GOVERNANCE

ARL manages staff and finances of SHARE.

• Advisory Board with an executive committee

• A director reporting to chair of executive

committee

• An operations team

• Community working groups

PROTOTYPE EARLY LESSONS

We need to be clear about intent to share.Some sites not sure about their right, for example, to share abstracts.

We need to encourage collection of vital metadata.Most of our sources do not even collect email addresses of authors, much less more effective identifiers such as ORCID. Most sources make no effort to collect funding information or grant award numbers. We need this data to make effective notifications.

We will need the SHARE Registry.Most consumers will want the enhanced records it will provide.
