Introducing the IRUSdata-UK pilotPaul Needham, Cranfield University Jisc webinar – Wednesday 24th February 2016

IRUSdata-UK: aim» Enable UK data repositories to create/share/expose usage statistics

based on a global standard – COUNTER (projectcounter.org/) » Statistics are produced on the same basis as scholarly publishers

› Following the COUNTER Code of Practice for e-Resources› Raw download usage data is filtered to remove robots and

double clicks» Comparable, Reliable, Trustworthy, Authoritative

IRUSdata-UK: background» PIRUS/PIRUS2 (2009 – 2011)

› Publisher and Institution Repository Usage Statistics project› cranfieldlibrary.cranfield.ac.uk/pirus2/› Aimed to develop a global standard to enable the recording, reporting

and consolidation of online usage statistics for individual journal articles hosted by Institutional Repositories, Publishers and others

IRUSdata-UK: background» IRUS-UK (2012 - )

› Institutional Repository Usage Statistics service› Jisc-funded national aggregation service, providing COUNTER-compliant

usage statistics for all types of content downloaded from participating UK institutional repositories

» IRUSdata-UK› Data (of whatever type found in repositories)


IRUSdata-UK: how are data gathered and processed?

» Simple method to gather raw download data: when a download occurs, a message sent to the IRUS server with some basic details

» Accomplished by adding a small piece of code to repository software, which employs the ‘Tracker Protocol’ irus.mimas.ac.uk/help/toolbox/TrackerProtocol-V3-2014-04-22.pdf

» Implementation:› Patches for DSpace (1.8.x, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x) and Plug-ins for Eprints (3.2.x

or greater)› Implementation guidelines for Fedora› Advice on a case by case basis for other softwares

IRUSdata-UK: how are data gathered and processed?

» Suite of ingest scripts process daily logs containing raw data, following the COUNTER CoP, and insert COUNTER-compliant statistics into a relational database


IRUSdata-UK: how are stats exposed?» Web User Interface - The IRUSdata-UK Portal

› Access currently behind authentication/authorisation challenge › Initial set of views and reports, slicing and dicing stats from the

IRUSdata database› Reports can be downloaded as CSV/TSV files

» SUSHI service (niso.org/workrooms/sushi) › SOAP service/XML› Defines automated request and response model for harvesting e-

resource usage data» SUSHI Lite API (niso.org/workrooms/sushi/sushi_lite/)

› Restful(ish)/http get/JSON› Allows retrieval of stats snippets to be embedded into Repository

IRUSdata-UK: Now and going forward

» As of now we have:› A method of collecting raw download data from data repositories› Ingest procedures that convert raw data into COUNTER statistics› Eight pilot repositories› An initial, skeletal portal displaying statistics


IRUSdata-UK: Now and going forward

» Going forward: › We are actively working to engage additional repositories to participate

in the pilot– A developer able to provide technical advice and assistance

› We’ll be developing extra views and reports and functionality– based on stakeholder feedback – as our understanding of requirements grows

› And ultimately (we hope!) a fully fledged service as part of the overall RDM initiative


Thank you!Any questions?


What’s in it for you?

» Be added to our list of centres to be supported in sending live data to IRUSdataUK!

» Access COUNTER-compliant download data and reports» For common platforms such as ePrints and dSpace this is very simple…» … though we are very interested in more complex situations

Become an IRUSdataUK test centre!
