The Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) is pleased to welcome Joan Murphy to the team in her role as research associate for WorldFAIR and EOSCFuture, two data-sharing projects funded by the European Commission through framework programmes Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020.
Coordinated by the Committee on Data of the International Science Council (CODATA), with the Research Data Alliance Europe as a major partner, the WorldFAIR project is working with a set of eleven case studies to advance implementation of the FAIR data principles of findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability. DRI is leading the case study on cultural heritage FAIR data sharing.
The EOSC Future project is tasked with implementing and improving the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). EOSC aims to bring together research communities and infrastructure providers to give European researchers access to a wide web of FAIR data and related services. The DRI is working in collaboration with the Research Data Alliance (RDA) on the task of ‘Widening EOSC Awareness and Engagement in Underrepresented Communities’.
Joan is an information professional with almost 30 years of experience in digital libraries and archives, working in and across archival, technical and business domains and dealing with the real-world challenges of interoperability, standards and workflows from multiple perspectives. She is a qualified librarian and project manager with extensive experience in the audio-visual domain having worked for many years in RTÉ in various roles including Sound Archivist, Metadata Specialist and Business Process Manager.
