Data
Seal of Approval: we've still got
it!<http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/blog/2013/12/data-seal-of-approval-weve-still-got-it/>
Avid followers of the progress of the ADS recall that in early 2011 we were
thrilled to be awarded the internationally recognised Data Seal of Approval
(DSA); at the time only the second digital archive in the UK to receive the
award, after the mighty UK Data Archive in Essex. What you may not know is
that in order to retain the award you have to re-apply periodically. It's a
bit like keeping an MOT up to date to make sure a car is roadworthy. So
until we have our own Ministry of Archives (MOA) test we'll use the DSA to
make sure we remain archive worthy! Read more

Value and Impact of
ADS<http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/blog/2013/11/the-value-and-impact-of-the-archaeology-data-service-final-report/>
The Value and Impact of the Archaeology Data Service (ADS): a study and
methods for enhancing sustainability was commissioned by Jisc as part of a
larger study into the the value and impact of three data centres (ADS, BADC
and ESDS) and the final report is now available. The Impact of the
Archaeology Data Service study aimed to explore and attempted to measure
the value and impact of the ADS. Read more about the project and download

Topping Up your
Credit<http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/blog/2013/12/topping-up-your-credit-or-how-you-can-learn-to-stop-worrying-and-love-your-data/>
*(or how you can learn to stop worrying and love your data) *
We all want better ways to make research data available and to give more
credit to the researchers who create and share their data. Yet even when
that hard work culminates in data being deposited in an accredited archive,
the level of recognition and academic credit gained is still limited. In an
attempt to redress this, Internet Archaeology has established a series of
peer-reviewed, open access 'data papers' where authors characterize the
content and the re-use potential of a dataset they have deposited in one of
a number of trusted digital archives. Read more

Picking
Up Steam!<http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/blog/2013/12/locloud-picking-up-steam/>
The LoCloud project has been up and running for about six months now, and
we've just finished a productive and enjoyable plenary meeting in London.
The project is starting to take shape, with an ambitious agenda for content
to be delivered to Europeana, along with an array of microservices under
development, geared towards the needs of small to medium sized heritage
organisations. Read more

Exposing the ADS...to
Google<http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/blog/2013/11/exposing-the-ads-to-google/>
An online presence is just the tip of the ADS iceberg, but as such we still
rely on search engines to direct traffic to our archived datasets and web
content. Search engines are not the only way people find their way to the
ADS, as we provide metadata to many aggregators and portals via OAI-PMH and
SOAP web services such as the Heritage Gateway, Europeana, Thomson Reuters
Data Citation Index, Keepers Registry, NERC Data Catalogue Service, and
MEDIN Data Discovery Portal to name a few. Even with all of those outlets
to discover ADS content, a fair share of users still come via a good ol
Google type-and-pray search. We are referrer agnostic at the ADS, and don't
really care how people discover our resources, so long as it doesn't
circumvent our Terms and Conditions but how do users access ADS? Read more
