Investigate Zenodo #1

Open nemobis opened 8 years ago

nemobis commented 8 years ago

Before getting too much in implementation details, http://zenodo.org/ can be a starting point to decide what's worth doing similarly or differently.

I came here to say the same thing. Zenodo has already solved just about every data modelling, persistence and distribution problem you will hit. It's free and as permanent as anything on the internet. It has a great API, so you could build a simple site that adds an overlay to Zenodo if you don't like their interface.

Thank you! This is a wonderful idea---I've been poking around, and it looks like they have all the resources one might need. Do you think they might object to having a wrapper site? It might be possible, depending on just how awesome their API is, to just treat zenodo as a backend and put all those SSRN-ey features that are critical for the network (subject-matter identification, subscribing to new research, access metrics) into the outer layer.

@paultopia they will welcome a wrapper site - it's exactly the kind of thing they would like to enable I think. A lot of the metrics etc. is already built in too.

Meanwhile, I'm currently archiving all of SSRN to the internet archive.

Zenodo looks very nice! It has two APIs: one for submissions, and one for "harvest[ing] all or parts of Zenodo via the OAI-PMH protocol".

Clearly worth further investigation.
