The California Digital Library at the University of California and the Dryad organization will hold an invitational workshop to explore issues, identify impediments, and make recommendations regarding the widespread promotion and adoption of effective, scalable, and sustainable institutional data publication infrastructures. There are several well-known misalignments across the research data management ecosystem that impede broader adoption of data publication. The project team seeks to identify and bridge these gaps. The workshop will result in a set of recommendations for a full service, open source, low cost data publishing platform that can be used as a standalone solution or in coordination with existing institutional repository strategies. The project will leverage institutions across the nation in open data infrastructures in order to increase the amount of curated, accessible data publicly available.
