We plan to package this material into both a fixed hypertext document (i.e. as a project deliverable; and in wiki format as an ongoing developing public resource to which anyone can contribute, and which will be accessible by link from the PROWE website after the project ends formally. Guides will also be available as .pdf files for printing out from the website.

R4L

Intended Project Outputs

1. Consultation with scientific equipment manufacturers (as represented by the project partners), data analysis software developers
and ‘instruments on the Grid’ eScientists to derive methods and protocols to make raw experimental data available and richly
annotated with metadata, as it is generated in the scientific laboratory.
2. Develop an automated OAIS INGEST process which deposits the experimental data and metadata directly into the Laboratory
Repository.
3. Establish a pilot ‘Priority Assertion’ service to provide a legally sound guarantee of priority for ‘first to invent’ protection.
This service is a scalable, co-operative service designed for an academic context and solving the problems of trust and openness
inherent in the alternative (commercial) solutions. A full description of the service is given in Appendix 1, although a cutdown
version of this service would be implemented for the scope of this project. 
4. Configure a Laboratory Repository to be capable of managing large numbers of heterogeneous scientific datasets.
5. Consult with of an advisory panel composed of scholarly society publishers (as represented by the project partners) to capture
requirements for data oriented publishing, including data reference and citation.
6. Build a report editing tool which can integrate repository data into a journal article.

UNPUPR

Final report evaluating five different types of public repositories in the UK – i.e., repositories that are intended for use by people outside a hosting institution. Individual mission concerns for the selected elite repositories were be assessed through an analysis of their user needs, including a comparative evaluation of each type to determine how individual findings can be used to inform the practice of the others. The approach was to carry out this evaluation using a complementary set of qualitative and quantitative research techniques. The qualitative approach was to interview stakeholders and users associated with each repository, and the quantitative approach involved using a newly developed “Web intelligence” technique, designed to collect and analyse Web link statistics.
