“…Bangalore University followed qualified Dublin core and unqualified Dublin Core, whereas the University of Agricultural Sciences followed qualified Dublin core, Archival metadata, print on demand metadata, standard Eprints metadata and Adapted Dublin core. This result proved that the use of diversified metadata schema was less in South Indian IRs and this result is in contrast with the previous studies outside India (Park and Tosaka, 2010;Morgana and Baptista, 2015;Moulaison et al, 2015;Lee and Stvilia, 2017). 4.1.3 Controlled vocabulary.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify the digital curation practices in institutional repositories (IRs) in South India. Design/methodology/approach A voluntary survey was conducted among the IR managers of 23 South Indian IRs, and the response rate was 87%. Findings This study found that the active participation of South Indian IRs was only seen in a few digital curation activities. However, of the 33 digital curation activities analyzed, the active participation of repositories was only seen in ten digital curation activities. The performance of preservation activities was extremely low, and disagreements were recorded by the survey participants toward several digital curation activities. The most disagreed digital curation activities were emulation and cease data curation. All the participants had assigned metadata and allowed file downloads in their repositories. Raman Research Institute had provided a good number of digital curation services in their IR. Originality/value This is an in-depth study investigating the digital curation practice currently underway in South Indian IRs, and the researcher could not find similar studies in this niche.

We present work undertaken at our institutional repository to enhance metadata and re-organize digital objects according to new information architecture, in an effort to minimize administrative object management and processing, and improve object discovery and use. This work was partly motivated by the launch of a new discovery platform at our institution, which aggregates metadata and full text from our four open access repositories into a cohesive, consistent, and enhanced searching and browsing experience. The platform provides digital object identifier (DOI) assignment, metadata access via various formats, and an open metadata and full text application program interface (API) for researchers, amongst other features. Functionality of these platform features relies heavily on accurate object representation and metadata. This work facilitates and improves the discovery and engagement of the diverse digital objects available from our institution, so they can be used and analyzed in new, flexible, and innovative ways by a myriad of communities and disciplines.

“…The selection of software is one of the most important things to note while establishing an IR. DSpace is an important software used by most institutions to create an IR (Kuchma and Rosenblum, 2010;Sawant, 2011;Moulaison, 2015;Pinfield, 2014;Dzandza, 2019).In the USA, the usage of home-grown metadata was very high in repositories (Park and Tosaka, 2010;Moulaison, 2015). Likewise, Kenfield (2019) found that slightly more than half of ARL IRs do provide metadata documentation in their websites.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the institutional repositories (IRs) in South India in terms of policy and procedures, technology, content and contributors, promotion and assessment and personnel. Design/methodology/approach A voluntary survey was conducted to assess IRs in South India. The questionnaire was designed according to the study framework, which comprises 64 indicators across five areas: policy and procedures, technology, content and contributors, promotion and assessment and personnel. Furthermore, all of the 23 IRs identified were monitored over one year period (from February 2018 to January 2019) to analyse the content growth. Findings The Research Archive of Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad was found to provide more services to users than other South Indian IRs and it was the sole IR to embed a metadata field for author identification. Almost all the IRs were actively engaged in promotion and assessment activities. IR performance in the technology area was substandard in comparison with performance in the policy and procedures and promotion and assessment areas. For all South Indian IRs, content growth was low. Originality/value Very few in-depth studies have evaluated South Indian IRs across all five of the areas listed above and in recent years, no such comprehensive study has been conducted in India at all.
