Hi Robin, Since I'm managing our figshare implementation, but am not involved in our Pure project and am not very well versed in API technology, I'm on somewhat thin ice here - but here goes: it's my understanding that the Pure API doesn't adequately support connections to import data from other systems, but is able to handle xml files that are uploaded to Pure. That means we'll have our instance of figshare for institutions produce xml files containing the metadata of datasets that need to be registered in Pure, and upload those to Pure. Figshare has already confirmed to us that they're able to provide these xml files.

Has that been worked out yet, or just on the to-do list? I ask because we have found that there is a serious limitation of the interoperability of Pure that does not allow batch import of metadata, either via a standard or an API. There is a workaround I continue to hope for - if the company would implement the DataCite API, such that one could enter a DOI and have it automatically fill in the minimum DataCite metadata fields, picking up the info from DataCite, the way it does for PubMed records. Then, although still not batch, it would make entering one record at a time much easier. It has implemented the DataCite API for purposes of minting DOIs but not for this purpose. This continues to be a major bugbear of mine, so would be thrilled to know someone has found a solution, if so. (I already mentioned to Laurence that we use Pure for our data asset register although we have DataShare for our institutional data repository.)

As soon as Pure replaces Metis, the upload process will be routed via Pure. With regard to research data, we'll be doing things sort of 'the other way around': researchers will upload their data to our instance of figshare for institutions and provide metadata; the metadata of published datasets will be exported to Pure to register these datasets as research outputs. At the moment it's our priority to get Pure and figshare each up and running and available to researchers. Next calendar year we hope to implement a connection between figshare and Pure. Feel free to drop me a line off-list, I'll be more than happy to forward any questions you may have to my colleagues who are working on the implementation of Pure.
