16. Edinburgh DataShare was built as an output of the JISC-funded DISC-UK DataShare project (2007-2009)
17. Edinburgh DataShare An online institutional repository of multi-disciplinary research datasets produced at the University of Edinburgh, hosted by the Data Library Researchers producing research data associated with a publication, or which has potential use for other researchers, can upload their dataset for sharing and safekeeping. A persistent identifier and suggested citation will be provided. DataShare is a customised DSpace instance with a selection of standards-compliant metadata fields useful for discovery of datasets, through Google and other search engines via OAI-PMH.

22. University Research Data Management Policy In spring 2010, a review commenced at the University of Edinburgh to address the issue of managing the rapidly expanding volume and complexity of data produced by researchers. The Review was overseen by the IT & Library Committee and had twin tracks to look at Research Data Storage, and Data Management, Curation and Preservation. The Review looked at current practice in the University and assessed current practice in peer universities and internationally Review Committee responsible for drafting policy to support the University’s mission for ‘the creation, dissemination and curation of knowledge’
