Dear Benedikt, I know that CKAN supports social media functionalities ‘out of the box’ (http://ckan.org/). http://publicdata.eu/dataset/emploi-salarie-et-non-salarie-de-1989-a-2008 and http://daten.berlin.de/datensaetze/anzahl-erwerbst%C3%A4tiger-berlin are two examples for CKAN installations. We also employed CKAN to develop a data archive for scholarly journals. The possibility to share the information on available datasets was an important criterion for us to choose CKAN. Best, Sven Von: Research Data Management discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Im Auftrag von Benedikt Fecher Gesendet: Dienstag, 5. Mai 2015 12:09 An: [log in to unmask] Betreff: Using social media for research data repositories Dear colleagues, we are currently setting up a data repository for research data from the social sciences and economics. The repository is aimed at institutes – but also individual researchers – as a secure and easy way to store data and make it citable. We are discussing ways to integrate social media into the repository; for example to interact with potential users about new datasets, to foster researcher collaboration and to inform about relevant news regarding the repository. I was wondering if you know of best practice examples for the successful integration of social media in data repositories? I am also happy with any idea about how social media can benefit data reuse; or perhaps why this is not such a good idea after all. Thank you very much in advance.
