Edinburgh DataShare takes shape

As part of the collaborative DISC-UK DataShare project, Edinburgh University Data Library has now launched a pilot data repository for members of the university to use for sharing their data, much in the way that Edinburgh University Library has been offering an open access document repository for a few years already (called ERA). The new DSpace repository is called Edinburgh DataShare, reflecting its part in the wider project as well as its primary purpose.
