“…Research data repositories are the sites of practice and coordination for those who participate in data management, curation, preservation, and dissemination. The repository's type indicates the scientific community that it serves (McNeill, 2016). For example, the discipline-specific repository the Genomic Data Commons (GDC) (https://gdc.cancer.gov/) and the institution-specific CERN Open Data Portal (http://opendata.cern.ch) are connected to specific networks of funders, large-scale instruments and resources, universities, and research institutes.…”

This study discusses the properties of research data repositories and explores metadata about 2,646 entries in the Registry of Research Data Repositories (re3data.org) to identify the characteristics attributed to infrastructures they exhibit. The results reveal how research data repositories function as information infrastructure for scientific community members and contribute to the small body of literature that examines data repositories through a sociotechnical lens.

“…Librarians belonging to cultural institutions across the world have been actively involved in the creation of information repositories, particularly in the last few years, in a trend holding true across many fields. [23] These repositories contain a wide array of resources, including commercial databases, links to academic websites, writing resources, and institutional newsletters. [24] For instance, the UNESCO Libraries Portal Project provides access to websites of library institutions around the world.…”

The influence of computer science on disciplines outside of itself has constituted hybrid communities of practice, such as the digital humanities (DH) and digital art history (DAH), the latter being an offspring of the former.[1] The questions asked within these interdisciplinary fields are substantially different from those in core computer science fields, such as systems theory, language theory, and theory of computation.[2] As a result of the interdisciplinary nature of their inquiries, research questions pertaining to DH and the ethical challenges that accompany them are diametrically opposed to the empirical and often unambiguous measures of validity to which computer scientists are accustomed. This article will explore ethical questions pertaining to collections aggregation systems from the perspective of postcolonial scholarship and seek paths towards addressing the ethical questions currently facing many DH projects. To do so, I will use the Getty Research Portal (hereafter, “the Portal”) as a case study of a digital repository and draw on my personal experience as a software developer working on the project, as well as on current research on biases and ethics within DH.
