ABI Development: Dryad: scalable and sustainable infrastructure for the publication of data

杜克大学与北卡罗来纳州立大学和北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校合作，获得了一笔赠款，以加强Dryad(http://datadryad.org)，)提供的服务，这是一个最近推出的数据仓库，用于存储学术生物科学文献中的发现。Dryad的独特之处在于，数据存储与学术出版的过程和业务密切相关，并将文章发布作为研究人员如何从数据共享基础设施中受益的模型。在很短的时间内，数十种期刊采用Dryad作为一种数据归档机制，该存储库现在正处于向一个可持续组织过渡的点上，该组织有能力每年公开提供数千个新的数据集，供永久重复使用。该奖项支持的技术和组织创新将增强Dryad的可扩展性和可持续性。技术目标包括：元数据管理和保存任务的自动化；开发更高效和可扩展的程序，将期刊的手稿提交程序与Dryad的数据提交程序相结合；增强沉积界面的功能和可用性；改进过滤、搜索和访问储存库内容的机器和人机界面。Dryad？S的商业模式将通过评估数据存档和数据重用对利益相关者的成本和收益，以及继续评估Dryad在出版和数据存储库领域的许多新兴技术方面的作用来完善。Dryad的可持续性将通过实施非营利性治理和收入模式来解决，该模式是由研究、出版、图书馆和资助者社区的不同利益相关者在过去三年中开发的。Dryad的更广泛影响源于它改变研究数据交流和保存方式的潜力。研究企业的可信度和有效性在很大程度上要归功于学术出版背后的社会契约。研究人员被激励向同行披露他们的工作，以换取专业荣誉。在这样做的过程中，他们也将他们的发现暴露出来，以得到证实或驳斥，并使其他研究人员能够在他们的结果的基础上再接再厉。Dryad试图将这一社会契约扩展到研究数据，提供了一个模型，说明学科存储库如何激励研究人员披露最具科学重复使用价值的数据，以及与出版物相关的数据，并实现永久免费获取科学数据的多种好处。该奖项将为仙女座提供资源，通过教育倡议和与更广泛社区的伙伴关系接触下一代研究人员。随着新的期刊和资助者的授权提高了对数据管理、保存和传播服务的需求和期望，Dryad-作为一个稳定的、社区治理的组织-旨在能够提供必要的基础设施，并为参与的期刊、学会和出版商提供一个有针对性的论坛，以协调和充分了解改善政策和practice._____________________________________________________________________________的步骤

Duke University, in collaboration with North Carolina State University and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, is awarded a grant to enhance the services provided by Dryad (http://datadryad.org), a recently launched repository for data underlying the findings in the scholarly bioscience literature. Dryad is distinguished by the close association of data deposition with the process and business of scholarly publishing, and by using article publication as a model for how researchers can benefit from data sharing infrastructure. In a short time, dozens of journals have adopted Dryad as a mechanism for data archiving, and the repository is now at a point of transition to a sustainable organization that has the capacity to make thousands of new datasets each year openly available for reuse in perpetuity. Technical and organizational innovations supported by this award will enhance the Dryad's scalability and sustainability. The technical goals include: automation of metadata curation and preservation tasks; developing more efficient and scalable processes to integrate the manuscript submission processes of journals with the data submission process of Dryad; enhancing the features and usability of the deposition interface; and improving the machine and human interfaces for filtering, searching and accessing repository contents. Dryad?s business model will be refined through evaluation of the costs and benefits of data archiving and data reuse to stakeholders, and continued evaluation of Dryad's role with respect to the many emergent technologies in the world of publishing and data repositories. Dryad's sustainability will be addressed by implementing a nonprofit governance and revenue model that has been developed over the past three years by diverse stakeholders in the research, publishing, library and funder communities. The Broader Impacts of Dryad stem from its potential to transform the way research data are communicated and preserved. The credibility and effectiveness of the research enterprise is due in large part to the social contract behind scholarly publishing. Researchers are incentivized to disclose their work to their peers in return for professional credit. In so doing, they also expose their findings to be confirmed or refuted, and enable other researchers to build upon their results. Dryad seeks to extend this social contract to research data by providing a model for how a disciplinary repository can incentivize researchers to disclose the data that is of the greatest value for scientific reuse, that associated with publications, and realize the manifold benefits of free access to scientific data in perpetuity. This award will provide resources for Dryad to to reach out to the next generation of researchers through educational initiatives and partnerships with the broader community. As new journal and funder mandates raise demand and expectations for data management, preservation, and dissemination services, Dryad - as a stable, community-governed organization - aims to be in a position to provide the necessary infrastructure, as well as provide a focused forum for participating journals, societies and publishers to take coordinated, and well-informed, steps toward improved policy and practice._____________________________________________________________________________
