Research data made public on Figshare will be deposited into DPN, a dark archive that preserves scholarship for future generations. Figshare users can guarantee that long-term access to their scholarly resources will be protected in the event of any type of change in administrative or physical institutional environments. Figshare will use the DuraSpace DuraCloud Vault (http://duracloudvault.org) deposit node to add their content into DPN to preserve its public corpus of multi-disciplinary data. The multi-scale DPN approach to stored content by leveraging a heterogeneous network that spans diverse geographic, environmental, and political climates will enable the secure, long-term preservation of Figshare content, which will ultimately reside under control of the academy. DPN depositors add assets to the network by working with a DPN ingest Node which serves as an interim access point for resources that will be added to the network. Current DPN members may now add add digital assets to the Digital Preservation Network through DuraCloud Vault, a cooperative development between DPN, DuraSpace and Chronopolis. The partnership also allows for further integration with Figshare for Institutions for existing DPN members and will provide additional options for how to store and preserve research data. Figshare will continue to provide the same level of service and end user experience while users can rest easy knowing that their content is preserved in DPN, a trusted digital preservation service. ?The commitment that Figshare is making to the academic enterprise by depositing their users? public data into DPN can not be overstated. Extending the spectrum of preserved academic output for the future to explicitly include research data is an important step forward for the community,? says Mary Molinaro, DPN Chief Operating Officer and Services Manager. ?It is our hope that other data repositories follow Figshare?s lead.? ?At Figshare, we?re held to high standards regarding the research data hosted on the platform. By partnering with DPN, we?re providing further assurances to our community that their public data will be preserved and in safe hands under the stewardship of DPN,? says founder and CEO, Mark Hahnel. *About Figshare* Figshare (https://figshare.com) is an online digital repository where researchers can preserve and share their research outputs, including figures, datasets, code, images, videos, and more. It is free to upload content and free to access, all in adherence to the principle of open data. Users can upload files in any format and items are attributed a DOI for citation and attention tracking via altmetrics. By encouraging publishing of figures, charts, data rather than being limited to the traditional entire 'paper', knowledge can be shared more quickly and effectively in a transparent, reusable fashion. Figshare is a portfolio company of Digital Science. *About the Digital Preservation Network (DPN)* The Digital Preservation Network (http://www.dpn.org) is a membership organization that is sponsored by Internet2, is the only large-scale digital preservation service that is built to last beyond the life spans of individuals, technological systems, and organizations. Like insurance, the DPN service provides members of the academy and their successors with a guarantee that future access to their scholarly resources will be available in the event of any type of change in administrative or physical institutional environments. By establishing a redundant and varied technical and legal infrastructure at multiple administrative levels the survival, ownership and management of preserved digital content in the future is assured for Digital Preservation Network members. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Fedora 4, the new, revitalized version of Fedora, was released into production in November 2014. Fedora 4 features include vast improvements in scalability, linked data capabilities, research data support, modularity, ease of use and more. Fedora Camp offers everyone a chance to dive in and learn all about Fedora 4. Training will begin with the basics and build toward more advanced concepts?no prior Fedora 4 experience is required. Participants can expect to come away with a deep dive Fedora 4 learning experience coupled with multiple opportunities for applying hands-on techniques working with experienced trainers and Fedora gurus. This West Coast Fedora Camp is based on the inaugural Fedora Camp that was held at Duke University in November ("Letter From Fedora Camp? [1]). 40 participants shared ideas and worked together to better understand how to take advantage of the Fedora open source repository platform. The curriculum led the group through in-depth technical ?deep dive? sessions as well as question and answer discussions regarding features, migrations, data modeling, indexing for search and discovery, extending Fedora, and more. The attendees' feedback was very positive, and the organizers have used their input to enhance the camp experience for developers and administrators alike. Register online [2]. Attendance is limited to the first 40 registrants. Payment is due upon registration. While an invoice option is available, please note that the invoice must be paid within 30 days of receipt or registration will be canceled. Local accommodations are available at a reduced rate.
