DataStaR: An Institutional Approach to Research Data Curation

Author
Steinhart, Gail
Abstract
DataStaR, a Data Staging Repository
(http://datastar.mannlib.cornell.edu/)
hosted by Cornell University?s Albert R. Mann Library, was conceived of as a platform and a set of services to facilitate data sharing among collaborators, and to enable faculty to publish digital data and high quality metadata to domain-specific repositories and institutional repositories.
DataStaR is intended to serve as a temporary repository for data sets (in any stage of completion) that researchers may share with selected colleagues, as well as a platform with tools for creating metadata in variety of formats, supported by librarian-curators prepared to assist researchers in preparing and submitting both data and metadata for
publication to an external repository for the long term.
