Information gathered during the past year’s PRESQT workshops and needs assessment survey will be presented in this session. With planning grant funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the University of Notre Dame’s Hesburgh Libraries and Center for Research Computing coordinated a year-long outreach effort with dedicated participation from the Center of Open Science (COS) and collaboration from many other academic, publishing, and software development stakeholders to address gaps in these communities towards consistently preserving research data and software. The planning process explored how to better represent digital workflow methodologies, improve data and software provenance, automatically enhance metadata, perform schema validation, improve file format recognition, interoperability, data integrity and ultimately facilitate reproducibility. Tool needs and development priorities identified through the needs assessment will be presented and will be of interest to library and information system stakeholders, user communities and tool providers.
