What are the key tasks?

Publishing and archiving services

PubData aims to document and describe objects generated and used as a result of research, study and teaching activities and make them available for third party use under regulated terms of use. Whenever possible, the objects and datasets shall be published in open access in the sense of open science.

In the progress of the publishing process, all published objects and datasets will be registered and get assigned a persistent identifier (DOI). This means that all objects catalogued in PubData will be permanently documented, citable and available, at least as a data record.

Description, documentation and dissemination via the PubData catalogue

PubData lists archived and published objects and resources and makes this information available via the PubData catalogue. To get an optimal search result, the single data records are described and prepared by implementing information-scientific documentary procedures. In addition to the simple search, facets/filters, lists according to selected categories and an advanced search are used.

Besides, the individual data records are enriched in such a way that they are linked to other context-related content with unique ID references (Linked Open Data). Furthemore, PubData takes care of the visibility and findability of the objecs and increases them by disseminating the metadata to other relevant catalogue systems and search engines.

Technical Details

PubData is based on the open source software DSpace 6.4. It is continuously technically adapted and evolved. The data is stored and made available via the technical systems of Leuphana's Media and Information Center (MIZ). This implies regular backups and integrity checks in terms of bitstream preservation. Access is protected and controlled by the administrator team of the MIZ.
