SEAD C3PR/Matchmaker

The SEAD Matchmaker is used to pair datasets to repositories. It was originally part of the SEAD Virtual Archive, which enabled automatic deposit of data into institutional repositories via OAIS Submission Information Package (SIP).  The original "matchmaker" used the Drools rules engine to decide where to deposit a package based on repository policies.

The matchmaker is now part of the SEAD 2.0 C3PR service (https://github.com/Data-to-Insight-Center/sead2/tree/master/sead-matchmaker).  Repositories can register with C3PR, providing information including accepted data types, maximum collection depth, maximum dataset size, minimum metadata fields, affiliations, and global identifier requirements.

Approved and Recommended Repositories

Publishers, funding agencies, academic associations, and libraries often provide lists of recommended or supported repositories for depositing research data.  The motivations and requirements are often different, but the lists themselves can serve as the basis for our requirements analysis,

Researcher identifiers

• ORCID: Persistent digital identifier for researchers – might be helpful in collecting researcher profile information for recommendation. ORCID doesn't appear to have a field.

Analysis

The publisher recommended or approved repositories are a good starting point for this analysis. Let's review them case by case:

• NIH:  Name, description, submission policy link, access link
• Elsevier: Name, linking description, link to repository and example article. Organized by domain 
• Nature: Mandated repositories for certain data types; 
  • Domain, data type, description; repository name, link, and link to BioSharing and re3data.
• PLOS:
  • Field specific standards
  • Organized by data type/domain with links to repositories.
