  • RFC2459 IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service
  • ISO 19005-1 Document management — Electronic document file format for long-term preservation — Part 1: Use of PDF 1.4 (PDF/A-1)
  • IEEE 802.11ac-2013 IEEE Standard for Information technology–Telecommunications and information exchange between systems—Local and metropolitan area networks–Specific requirements–Part 11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications–Amendment 4: Enhancements for Very High Throughput for Operation in Bands below 6 GHz.
  • mqtt-v5.0 MQTT Version 5.0
  • ReusableRFC959 File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

2.What does OAI-PMH stand for?

3. What kind of authentication system does the Trove API use?

  • Username and password
  • HTTP
  • API Key
  • Two-factor

4. In which situations would a researcher need to consider the lower-level protocols used for accessing data? Select all that apply.

  • In areas of poor network connectivity
  • When high data transfer speeds are required
  • When high accuracy of timing is necessary
  • When working with sensitive data
  • When collaborating with international researchers
  • At all times

5. What can data repositories do to enable FAIR data? Select all that apply.

  • Benchmark against trusted data repository requirements
  • Develop an exit strategy if (meta)data are to be moved or the project closes
  • Expose data and metadata with a well-documented API
  • Implement a mechanism for authorisation and authentication
  • Make all data open
  • Require institutional credentials to search the repository

6. Why can a discipline-specific repository be more appropriate to hold a researcher’s data than an institutional repository? Select all that apply.

  • It uses specialised standards and APIs used in that discipline
  • It uses a discipline-specific vocabulary for describing the data
  • If the researcher wishes to bypass institutional policies
  • The local institutional repository charges a fee
  • A journal publisher mandates the use of the discipline repository
  • The institutional repository workflow connects to other enterprise systems

7. What can an institution do to encourage researchers to make their closed data available? Select all that apply.

  • Create ORCID accounts for all researchers
  • Provide example consent forms that permit reuse of data
  • Manage mediated access on behalf of the researcher
  • Provide tools for deidentifying sensitive data
  • Encrypt all data transfers
  • Seek Trusted Data Certification for their repositories
  • Restrict access to users with an AAF log in

8. What is the value of having a landing page even after the data is no longer available? Select all that apply.

  • To not “break” citations to that data
  • To provide a lead to who to contact if access conditions have changed
  • The metadata for a dataset can assist in developing replication studies
  • To provide evidence that a particular line of research had been conducted
  • To enable researchers to continue to include page view metrics on their resume
  • To minimise updates to training materials
