I support the implementation of ORCID-org IDs in the UK Higher Education sector through technical support and community engagement activities. I co-ordinate activities to investigate and document the requirements for the community and to test technical solutions and respond to queries helping to resolve issues.

Ukoln/Dcc University Of Bath

I support the DCC's Institutional engagement programme with UK Higher Education institutions, advising on research data management, including policy and strategy. In this role I participate in meetings at individual institutions, help develop their data management policies, facilitate national meetings particularly within the JISC Managing Reserach Data community, and give presentations and write about research data management. I have a particular interest in the tools available to help with data management planning, data repositories, digital identifiers and metadata, data citation, discovery and re-use.

Project Manager for SageCite http://blogs.ukoln.ac.uk/sagecite/ and Patients Participate! http://blogs.ukoln.ac.uk/patientsparticipate/Responsible for co-ordination of teams across distributed organisations, project dissemination activities and reporting to funders.

Software development support for UKOLN's activities in the areas of resource discovery on the Internet, working within the Software and Systems team. Worked with the latest Internet technologies and standards for supporting the description, retrieval and delivery of information on the World Wide Web, such as the XML-related family of standards (e.g. XSLT, SOAP), OAI-PMH and RDF. Wrote software and web applications (mainly using Perl and Java) to demonstrate the use of these standards to achieve interoperability, as well as investigating and re-using existing tools and architectures.Developer on the REPUK project (an aggregation service for OAI-PMH repositories in the UK) between 2008 and 2010. From 2003 to 2007 worked mainly on the eBank UK project, demonstraing an OAI-PMH aggregator service in collaboration with project partners at the University of Southampton. EBank UK was an innovative project providing experience of data repositories, data linking and citation. The project partners at Southampton developed an instance of ePrints adapted to store crystallography data. Within the project they investigated the use of metadata schemas to describe the data sets and explored issues around modelling complex objects (data sets) within repository infrastructures, and the use of DOI identifiers to cite data.In 2005 evaluated the use of WSRP for the delivery of portal content, within the RDN and on the short-term JISC-funded GroupLog project.Prior to 2005 was part of the team which maintained and developed the Resource Discovery Network (RDN), prior to its re-launch as Intute. In parallel to the technical work, supported communication and project management activities at UKOLN, assisting in responding to queries from RDN users as well as reporting to funders, disseminating project outcomes (by giving presentations and writing publications)
