Abstract
Thoughtful presentation about the impact of La Trobe University's Metadata Store with Roderick Sadler. La Trobe University's Institutional Repository Team Leader, Roderick Sadler, provides some profound insights into the impact of the university's Metadata Stores Project and the cultural changes unleashed as the University Library becomes a publisher for the first time. He discusses how La Trobe is helping researchers think about their data as something that can be published and how exposing research data is part of claiming the territory and gaining advantage for researchers as well as for the University. Roderick explains how La Trobe is future-proofing the architecture of its Metadata Store by using unique and durable identifiers as well as how they are using ReDBox to massage and then push data to their Vital Repository. La Trobe's Digital Infrastructure Manager, Simon Huggard and Research Data Co-ordinator, Charlie Ambrose are on hand to answer questions and expand on the significance of their project.
