They are increasingly taking on a role as curators of institutional digital output, requiring the adoption of specific policies and tools for preservation and curation. In the ten years since the first dedicated institutional repository software was released, a range of tools have been developed to assist in everything from drawing up preservation plans and policies to extracting preservation metadata from files, alongside modular architectures for linking all the tools together. While the uptake of these technologies and techniques in repositories is modest, there are encouraging signs of progress.

SCARP Case Study No. 5 Authors: Whyte, Angus Abstract: This case study has been produced for the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) SCARP project, funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) to investigate disciplinary attitudes and approaches to data deposit. The study reviews the curation landscape in several interdisciplinary fields that use video analysis in studies of human interaction. Field research for the study involved semi-structured interviews with researchers and participant observation in their informal data sharing and analysis sessions. Researchers were working in a variety of projects across social sciences, humanities and computing; from domains including human geography, psychology, sociology, social informatics, and linguistics. The study primarily focuses on uses of video in ethnographic studies and in eye movement research.

These are exemplified in a case study of the Neuroimaging Group in the University of Edinburgh’s Division of Psychiatry. The study is one of the SCARP series encompassing two aims; firstly to discover more about disciplinary approaches and attitudes to digital curation through ‘immersion’ in selected cases, in this case drawing on ethnographic approaches. Secondly SCARP aims to apply known good practice, and where possible to identify new lessons from practice in the selected discipline areas; in this case using action research to assess risks to the long term reusability of datasets, and identify challenges and opportunities for change. The Neuroimaging Group is involved in several collaborative eScience initiatives to improve data sharing and re-use in their discipline. At the same time a key issue for them is improvement of local infrastructure to address their expanding digital curation needs.
