Overview
• Explain the rationale for ReStore, what it is and what it isn’t
• Explain how it is intended to work
• ReStore & restored resources site demo
• Hopes for today’s workshop
• Questions

Why do we need to ReStore?• ESRC investments producing online resources
• Completed near to end of project funding
• Often of great practical value, but immediately begin to decay– Dated content (broken links - new ideas)– Changed technical environment
• Lack of maintenance/visibility
![Page 4: ReStore: A sustainable web resources repository, Arshad Khan, National Centre for Research Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/549a76ecb47959984e8b4639/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why ReStore?
• Repository for online resources
• Restoring quality and utility
• Promoting accessibility
• Sustainable service identity
• Being implemented by NCRM
![Page 5: ReStore: A sustainable web resources repository, Arshad Khan, National Centre for Research Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/549a76ecb47959984e8b4639/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Aims of the project• Build a prototype service for sustaining online
resources• Focus on research methods initiatives
– RMP, NCRM, RDI, QMI
• Lead development of an ESRC strategy for the longer term
• A “working experiment” with immediate practical benefits
![Page 6: ReStore: A sustainable web resources repository, Arshad Khan, National Centre for Research Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/549a76ecb47959984e8b4639/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Not aims of the project
• A static web archive
• A continuation funding model for completed projects
• A research methods advice service
• A document repository
• A virtual learning environment
![Page 7: ReStore: A sustainable web resources repository, Arshad Khan, National Centre for Research Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/549a76ecb47959984e8b4639/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Basic approach• Identify candidate resources• Work with original resource authors• Technical and academic review• Assess value and work required• Technical and academic updating• Transfer into ReStore service• Promote use and review
![Page 8: ReStore: A sustainable web resources repository, Arshad Khan, National Centre for Research Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/549a76ecb47959984e8b4639/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Selection of resources for review• Significant online content: not just project
sites or documents• Initial demonstrator resources• Main phase – aim of working with suitable
RMP, RDI, NCRM, QMI resources that are not being maintained – via programme directors
• Mature phase – perhaps triggered by end of awards?
![Page 9: ReStore: A sustainable web resources repository, Arshad Khan, National Centre for Research Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/549a76ecb47959984e8b4639/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Review process• Parallel technical, academic and author reviews
• (i) Technical (ReStore team): site architecture, scripting, portability, broken links, media types, potential IPR issues…
• (ii) Academic (external reviewers): academic content, rigour, referencing, dated material…
• (iii) Author: reflective review, cross-cutting technical and academic, esp. re. IPR

Consideration of reviews
• Collaboration with resource authors
• Funding to pay for commissioned reviews
• ReStore team assessment of work required
• Recommendations considered by advisory committee
![Page 12: ReStore: A sustainable web resources repository, Arshad Khan, National Centre for Research Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/549a76ecb47959984e8b4639/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Possible outcomes• Accept resource into ReStore, subject to
package of work – by author and/or ReStore
• Identify most appropriate deposition elsewhere
• Resource not suitable for ReStore– Still under active development– Other maintenance options preferable– Insufficient quality– Work required exceeds resources available
![Page 13: ReStore: A sustainable web resources repository, Arshad Khan, National Centre for Research Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/549a76ecb47959984e8b4639/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Known issues• IPR framework – authorship/ownership• Technical infrastructures• Sustainability – how many? how long?
– Alternative outcomes
• Need guidance on future resource development for maximum sustainability
• Need developing ESRC strategy on sustaining online resources

ReStore site overview
• Navigation, layout and sitemap• Web resource site navigation• Finding specific resource• Resources mock-up in ReStore repository• Technical resource deposition implementation
