Community-driven Collaboration: Texas Data Repository Updates and Activities

Abstract

Since last year's Dataverse Community Meeting, the Texas Data Repository (TDR) has increased our contributions to the Dataverse community by hiring a contractor to contribute software improvements, joining the Global Dataverse Community Consortium, completing a reports assessment, beginning a Core Trust Seal audit, an open webinar series called Topics in Research Data Management featuring several research data experts and Dataverse implementers, improving our TDR user documentation, and sharing resources and training materials. Laura Waugh, Chair of the TDR Steering Committee, and Courtney Mumma, Deputy Director of the Texas Digital Library, will share about all of these efforts and some plans moving into the next year.
