"The choice of TIND RDM reflects our need for a sustainable solution as demand scales over the coming years. Working with TIND’s team has enabled us to offer enhanced features while retaining functionality we had already established as critical for our depositors and users."
— Will Sexton, Senior Director for Information Technology at Duke University.
Over 450 datasets migrated to TIND RDM, with metadata remapped from extended Dublin Core to the DataCite schema and DOIs minted through Duke's own DataCite membership. Dataset versioning with DOI updates, tombstone pages for retracted records, and a role-based curator-review workflow were configured to match how Duke's data curators already work.
Duke joins a growing group of research universities using TIND RDM to publish, version, and preserve their research data.
