The presentation draws on a use case from political science to demonstrate integrated scholarly processes for curating and publishing data. Curation activities are distributed across institutional and national websites, repositories, archives and registries. In workflows which prioritise existing research practice and disciplinary standards, the primary role of the repository is to move the data around – to apply standards and protocols that enable the data to be widely and openly accessible. Researchers provide structured metadata using a template based on the Data Documention Initiative , an international standard for describing data that result from observational methods in the social, behavioural, economic and health sciences. DDI metadata are mapped to standards (RDF, RIF-CS) which enable the institutional repository to disseminate and publish the datasets.The implementation supports researchers in comprehensively describing their research methods and data according to a widely-adopted disciplinary standard, and in depositing the data in a trusted national archive. The integrity of the institutional data repository is increased by its direct integration with the rich descriptions of data in the disciplinary archive. Added value for the institution is derived from the reporting capabilities of the repository, which links to enterprise systems to generate statistics about the University's research assets.

The presentation draws on a use case from political science to demonstrate integrated scholarly processes for curating and publishing data. Curation activities are distributed across institutional and national repositories, archives, registries and websites. In workflows which prioritise existing research practice and disciplinary standards, researchers provide structured metadata to the Australian Data Archive (ADA) using a template based on the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI). These metadata are mapped to RDF and RIF-CS standards and sent to the institutional repository at UNSW Australia, for publication and further dissemination.

This poster is presented in tandem with the Sensitive Data IG session at RDA18 (which shares the same name). In previous meetings, the Sensitive Data IG has scoped the interest and needs of the RDA community. At this meeting, we focus on specific challenges and opportunities associated with working with Sensitive Data. This poster explores one of these - how do we understand sensitive data definitions in different regions and disciplines, and how might we develop a shared language around sensitive data. For example, developing an understanding of different community agreed vocabularies and how these relate to each other. This poster will consist of three sections. First, case studies of different types of sensitive data will be presented. These will include, for example, case studies from the humanities, medicine, and military cases. Second, different classification systems for the level of sensitive data will be shown. This will explore, for example, what constitutes a high level of sensitive data in one classification system compared to another. Third, examples of how sensitive data is managed across different regions will be given. For example, what protocols govern the use of sensitive data in the Australian context compared to the European context? By presenting these examples, this poster aims to promote wider discussion on how sensitive data is currently defined. Further, it aims to draw out how context can impact whether data is considered sensitive. In doing so, it takes steps towards developing a common language for discussing sensitive data classifications and levels across contexts/disciplines/localities. This poster compliments the RDA Sensitive Data IG session. It is developed by the Sensitive Data IG co-chairs and is an opportunity for us to convey our ideas and seek input from the community in a different forum.
