Archiving the Legacy of the Research Data Alliance

The multitude of working, interest, and coordinating groups in the Research Data Alliance (RDA) generate many digital objects that do not currently benefit from a coherent management strategy. As a result, efforts to coordinate work within and across groups are not optimal and the organization's ability to communicate RDA's full body of work to external stakeholders (e.g., potential adopters, funders), is not fully realized. As a 2016 RDA/US Data Share fellow, I am working to develop an organization-wide curation and archiving strategy that will be a crucial first step toward addressing the information management challenges faced by RDA. This poster demonstrates the "lay of the land" of RDA digital objects and information, thus encapsulating the exploratory early steps of the project. It also provides a summary of lessons learned from an environmental scan of similar organizations and an overview of the theoretical frameworks that will guide this project.Sponsored in part through the RDA/US Data Share grant from the Alfred P.

Passing the Baton: Providing Feedback on Data Management Plans to Campus Researchers

The Research Data Service provides fast, free, and confidential feedback on Data Management Plans (DMPs), and coordinates with many units on campus, including IT Pros, to do so. This presentation provides a brief introduction to DMPs for IT Pros and walks through two example DMPs to showcase the network of expertise required to provide valuable DMP feedback.

Illinois Data Bank Metadata Documentation v1.1

This document details the metadata terms, properties, and vocabularies used by the Illinois Data Bank. The Metadata Documentation consists of a set of properties that is specifically designed for materials in the Illinois Data Bank. It also documents, where applicable, the mapping between the Illinois Data Bank metadata and the DataCite Metadata Schema for the Publication and Citation of Research Data version 3.1 (https://dx.doi.org/10.5438/0010).Ope

Making Data Management Manageable: A Risk Assessment Activity for Managing Research Data

The Research Data Service at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign developed this risk assessment activity to encourage researchers to think about the risks associated with unmanaged data. The goal of this activity is for researchers to feel empowered to prioritize their data management activities and motivated to tackle data management in focused phases.   Please use this activity to apply risk assessment concepts to your research data management and other personal information management needs.Ope

Should We Keep Everything Forever? Determining Long-Term Value of Research Data

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's library-based Research Data Service (RDS) launched an institutional data repository called the Illinois Data Bank (IDB) in May 2016. The RDS makes a commitment to preserving and facilitating access to published research datasets for a minimum of five years after the date of publication in the Illinois Data Bank. The RDS has developed guidelines and processes for reviewing published datasets after their five-year commitment ends to determine whether to retain, deaccession, or dedicate more stewardship resources to datasets. In this poster, we will describe how the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign preservation review planning team drew upon appraisal and reappraisal theory and practices from the archives community to develop preservation review processes and guidelines for datasets published in the Illinois Data Bank.Ope

Overly honest data repository development

After a year of development, the library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has launched a repository, called the Illinois Data Bank (https://databank.illinois.edu/), to provide Illinois researchers with a free, self-serve publishing platform that centralizes, preserves, and provides persistent and reliable access to Illinois research data. This article presents a holistic view of development by discussing our overarching technical, policy, and interface strategies. By openly presenting our design decisions, the rationales behind those decisions, and associated challenges this paper aims to contribute to the library community’s work to develop repository services that meet growing data preservation and sharing needs.Ope

The VLA/ALMA Nascent Disk and Multiplicity (VANDAM) Survey of Orion Protostars. I. Identifying and Characterizing the Protostellar Content of the OMC-2 FIR4 and OMC-2 FIR3 Regions

We present ALMA (0.87~mm) and VLA (9~mm) observations toward OMC2-FIR4 and OMC2-FIR3 within the Orion integral-shaped filament that are thought to be the nearest regions of intermediate mass star formation. We characterize the continuum sources within these regions on $\sim$40~AU (0\farcs1) scales and associated molecular line emission at a factor of $\sim$30 better resolution than previous observations at similar wavelengths. We identify six compact continuum sources within OMC2-FIR4, four in OMC2-FIR3, and one additional source just outside OMC2-FIR4. This continuum emission is tracing the inner envelope and/or disk emission on less than 100~AU scales. HOPS-108 is the only protostar in OMC2-FIR4 that exhibits emission from high-excitation transitions of complex organic molecules (e.g., methanol and other lines) coincident with the continuum emission. HOPS-370 in OMC2-FIR3 with L~$\sim$~360~\lsun, also exhibits emission from high-excitation methanol and other lines. The methanol emission toward these two protostars is indicative of temperatures high enough to thermally evaporate methanol from icy dust grains; overall these protostars have characteristics similar to hot corinos. We do not identify a clear outflow from HOPS-108 in \twco, but find evidence of interaction between the outflow/jet from HOPS-370 and the OMC2-FIR4 region. The multitude of observational constraints indicate that HOPS-108 is likely a low to intermediate-mass protostar in its main mass accretion phase and it is the most luminous protostar in OMC2-FIR4. The high resolution data presented here are essential for disentangling the embedded protostars from their surrounding dusty environments and characterizing them
