Digital repository tools are now being widely promoted for the capture and preservation of primary academic research output, in fact, many institutions and funding agencies are starting to mandate such processes. Such repositories enable faculty, students, and researchers to deposit their research into an openly accessible digital environment. In principle, digital repository efforts can be extended to the data on which scientific research rests and have the potential of generating a huge resource for data-driven practice. When data are properly reposited enormous new opportunities in data-driven science arise. Dr. Murray-Rust will report and demonstrate some of the exciting new developments in this dynamic and rapidly evolving arena.
