The goal of the DataShare project is to achieve widespread voluntary sharing of scientific data. In an effort to reach this goal, DataShare has created a data sharing website that enables investigators at the University of California (UC) to publish all of their research outputs (e.g., tabular data, images, and software). Currently, data sharing is not widespread across all disciplines; scientific advancement and society as a whole would benefit if more research data were widely shared and easily discoverable. The DataShare website serves as a portal for (1) finding data, via browsing or searching by metadata fields; and (2) depositing data and accompanying DataCite metadata with customized data use agreements. The DataShare project is a collaboration between the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) of the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), the UCSF Library, and the UC Curation Center (UC3) at the California Digital Library.

This project briefing will include discussion of the impetus for the DataShare project, the collaborators’ roles, the methods used to work towards the project goals, and a demonstration of the current DataShare website. Additionally, discussion of the role of projects such as DataShare in the larger landscape of data management and archiving tools will be included.
