NIH AIM:2 YR:2 TASK:4 | 2.2.4 | Support Indigenous datasets

[mreekie]

This is a new task added for Year 2 that was not present in the original OTA.

Initial notes provided by Stefano:

• In order to properly support indigenous data sets, Dataverse need to able to incorporate at least TK (Traditional Knowledge) Labels (https://mukurtu.org/support/traditional-knowledge-labels-faq/) in the metadata fields.
• Dataverse has already started to work on more general external vocabulary support but in order to fully support TK labels some refactoring is needed. This activity reinforces the efforts around objective "Adopt Consistent Metadata Models".

From Sonia:

There is an active working group addressing IDS support in DV. The group consists of Jane Anderson, NYU (Jane is the co-founder of Local Contexts.  Local Contexts supports Indigenous communities to manage their intellectual and cultural property, cultural heritage, environmental data, and genetic resources within digital environments through the TK (Traditional Knowledge) & BC (Biocultural) Labels and Notices. Local Contexts provides legal, extra-legal, and educational strategies for navigating copyright law and creating new options for Indigenous control over vital cultural heritage.), Steven McEachern, (Assoc. Prof. Steven McEachern
Director Australian Data Archive https://ada.edu.au), and others working directly with The Dataverse Project and The Local Context community.

In April, a demo of the integration between Local Context and Dataverse was provided and will be demonstrated at upcoming conferences in May and June (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kWMdMDlqm-kDK5yexBqKhaYuPBgefZD6/view).

There are planned IDS events in May that will be attended by Dataverse team members: Indigenous Metadata Symposium

And The Dataverse Project team will meet with the Harvard Library in May to discuss support of IDS metadata in the DRS (Digital Repository Service (DRS)) as part of preservation efforts for Harvard Dataverse;
