By giving these short courses, we hope to introduce the students to the basics of research data management and static website generation, as well as to the use and enrichment of communal resources of geographic information and structured data. The courses will be held at the Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, and conducted in Taiwanese Mandarin (and some English). After taking these courses, the interns will work on individual projects.
We are very grateful to our guest lecturers: Dennis Raylin Chen (Wikimedia Taiwan), Hsiung-Ming Liao (GIS Center, RCHSS, Academia Sinica), Te-En Lin (Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute), and Yu-Huang Wang (Nature Watch Ecological and Environmental Consultancy).
This year the summer internship students are from the National Changhua University of Education, the National Chung Hsing University, the National Taiwan Normal University, and the University of British Columbia, Vancouver.
For a sampler of the individual projects developed by past interns, please take a look at these Jupyter Book pages.

再次感謝大家的參與。
Data Package（資料封裝包）是一種描述資料集與其所包含資料的標準，由開放知識基金會設計。一個 Data Package 壓縮檔，包含以 JSON Schema 描述資料集後設資料的 datapackage.json 描述檔，以及一或多個資料檔案。
研究資料寄存所 (depositar) 已於日前（v6.8.0 版本）新增 Data Package 支援，主要功能如下1：
您可點選資料集頁面右上角「下載 Data Package」按鈕，取得最新版本之 Data Package 壓縮檔2：
您可上傳來自其他網站的 Data Package（如 GBIF 自動相機資料 與 DataHub Core Data），並寄存為 depositar 資料集：
當您建立與編輯資料集，depositar 將自動產製 Data Package2。
研究資料寄存所也會和社群朋友們一起參與今年度的盛會！我們在四樓 20 號有一個小小的攤位，不管是新朋友還是老朋友，都歡迎來找我們聊聊天。
因為我們很好學（好動？），也會在各場之間到處串門子或去聽演講。如果在攤位剛好沒看到我們，現場也準備了巧思小活動，歡迎大家留下幾句話，讓我們知道你有來逛過 :)
攤位有人時間：

本實驗室致力於推廣開放原始碼軟體，亦曾於過去數年安排 QGIS 暑期講習。我們深知不完備的在地化介面，對於軟體普及的障礙。為提升 QGIS 繁體中文介面翻譯品質，陳育霖同學於去年（2025 年）在本實驗室實習期間，使用大型語言模型 (LLM) 以及檢索增強生成 (RAG) 技術，設計出一套可於 Jupyter Book 網頁中執行之自動翻譯工具。實作細節可參考陳同學撰寫之技術說明。
延續其實習專題成果，陳同學日前已將補綴完成之繁體中文語系（已寄存於 depositar 專案）貢獻至 QGIS 官方翻譯專案，使翻譯完成率自原先的 70% 提升至 99%（QGIS 3.4x 版本），並克服特殊標記文字與 GIS 專業術語一致性等問題。此翻譯將包含於下一個 QGIS（3.40 LTR 與 3.44）增補更新之中。
We at the depositar lab wish you a joyful Lunar New Year. We take this occasion to summarize below our works from the previous year (2025-01 – 2025-12).
There have been 3,257 datasets deposited and made public at the depositar, the research data repository we build and operate, by the end of Year 2025 (2025-12-31). The datasets have accumulated more than one million views.
More than 500 projects have been hosted at the depositar by 2025 (2025-12-31).
For more statistics and charts, please visit the depositar’s stats page.
The system underlining the depositar (data.depositar.io) had been upgraded six times (from v6.7.2 to v6.7.7).
The depositar introduced a new interface based on Bootstrap 5.
In late 2025, we made a change to the depositar so that a dataset not belonging to any project can only be edited by its uploader and collaborators.
The depositar stats page has been released online.
The Research Data Management Hub (RDM Hub) has been rebuilt as a static site generated by Hugo and Sveltia CMS.

2025 年國際資料週 (International Data Week 2025) 於十月中旬在澳洲布里斯本召開。研究資料寄存所參與了此次盛會。以下會議紀要由莊庭瑞撰寫。
國際資料週 (International Data Week, IDW) 於 2016 年首次在美國科羅拉多州丹佛市舉行，之後約兩年一次接續於波札那首都嘉柏隆里（2018 年）、南韓首爾（因 COVID-19 延至 2022 年舉行，為實體與線上會議混和模式）、以及奧地利的薩爾茲堡（2023 年）舉行。2025 年的國際資料週於十月 13 到 16 日在澳洲布里斯本召開。歷次的國際資料週聚集來自各地倡議科學資料開放使用的研究者和學生、研究資料管理的實務工作者、研究圖書館以及資料儲存庫館員、以及關心研究資料政策發展的諸多人士，在為期四天的盛會中分享工作近況並交換前景看法，協力推展科學資料的普世運用。
國際資料週的議程概由國際科學資料委員會 (Committee on Data, CODATA)、世界資料系統 (World Data System, WDS)、以及研究資料聯盟 (Research Data Alliance, RDA) 與當地籌辦單位共同規劃。其中 CODATA 與 WDS 為國際科學理事會 (International Science Council, ISC) 所屬獨立組織，RDA 為研究資料從事人員的團體。CODATA 與 WDS 都是由會員體所組成的獨立法人。CODATA 的會員體為國家科學資料委員會以及不同學科領域的國際學會，WDS 的會員體則是資料儲存庫的經營者。RDA 的經費來自澳洲、歐盟、美國和其他國家的科研資助機關、非營利基金會、以及研究機構等。
今年的國際資料週（簡稱 IDW2025）的主題為「以資料推進改變：社群發展與研究進展」(Data for positive change: Empowering communities and advancing research)，當地籌辦單位是「澳洲研究資料共享組織」 (Australian Research Data Commons, ARDC)。ARDC 為引領澳洲研究資料基礎設施的新設機構，於 2018 年成立，合併自 Australian National Data Service (ANDS), National eResearch Collaboration Tools and Resources (Nectar) 以及 Research Data Services (RDS) 三個組織，目前成員規模約有六十人。大會開幕式由 ARDC 執行長 Rosie Hicks 開場並主持，介紹 Tony Haymet （澳洲首席科學家）以及 Margaret Sheil （昆世蘭科技大學校長，兼澳洲科學院科學政策秘書）致歡迎詞。大會設有 LinkedIn 頁面每日發布會議摘要。CODATA, WDS, RDA 和部份與會者、計畫團隊、研究組織等也使用 LinkedIn 報導各自的場次。眾人藉此可了解並回顧會議動態。
IDW2025 安排了四場大會演講，主題概為原住民族資料治理、AI 與可再現的科學、開放研究與國際連結、以及平等包容的全球資料社群。CODATA 跟 WDS 也分別組織了 AI 與科學、以及儲存庫永續經營的主題場次。在原住民族資料治理的大會主題演講中，來自台灣的林季平（中央研究院人文社會科學研究中心）、來自北極圈薩米 (Sámi) 族人 Niklas Labba（獨立研究者）、以及澳洲本地的 Marcia Langton（墨爾本大學）分享原住民族資料在蒐集管理、自主治理、商業文化等諸多面向的議題與各自的工作經驗。在 CODATA 組織的 AI for Science 場次中，Merce Crosas Navarro（巴塞隆納超級電腦中心）、Vanessa McBride (ISC)、Vyacheslav Tykhonov (CODATA)、Christine Kirkpatrick（聖地牙哥超級電腦中心）以及莊庭瑞（中央研究院資訊科學研究所）就 AI 時代的研究資料組織與治理，以及相應的科學發展議題，提出看法和建議。
大會議程包括了 107 場次的討論以及 130 篇壁報。不計入澳洲，來自亞太地區的研究人員與研究設施管理者，在這次大會中組織了（至少）三場議程：
其中，廖培珊（中央研究院人文社會科學研究中心）就中央研究院經營維持學術調查研究資料庫 (Survey Research Data Archive, SRDA) 的經驗進行分享。莊庭瑞與薛絲尹報告同由中央研究院營運的研究資料寄存所 (depositar) 的工作。在 Libraries for Research Data 場次，來自香港科技大學 (HKUST) 以及印尼國家研究與創新署 (BRIN) 的研究資料圖書館員的報告令人印象深刻。前者使用開放的書目索引 OpenAlex 探究來自 HKUST 的諸多論文中，其「資料可取得聲明」(Data Availability Statements) 的概要情形。後者調查分析從事研究資料管理的圖書館員的「面貌」 (persona)，這些館員是開放科學實務的重要推手，但其學科領域與專業背景多樣。
國際資料週的議程緊湊，經常高達十個場次同時進行，本文無法充份描述。在諸多場次中，第二天大會演講中 Agnes Kiragga（非洲人口健康研究中心）、Ana M. Arjona（美國西北大學）、Juliet Gerrard（紐西蘭奧克蘭大學）三位講者所分享的內容，著重社會經濟資料與政策制定面向，十分精彩。其中 Juliet Gerrard 曾擔任兩任紐西蘭總理的首席科學顧問，對於科學專業在政策建議的效用與時機，提出敏銳的觀察。她以「嚴謹、包容、透明、親和」(Rigour, Inclusivity, Transparency, Accessibility; RITA) 為原則，期許科學知識指引政策決定。她並用「科學共識」(scientific consensus) 與「價值共識」(values consensus) 的分歧與否，劃分四個象限，說明政策建議的難易情境。她將於近日出版這主題的專書。
根據 ARDC 的統計，這次國際資料週共有 807 位與會者（其中 103 位為線上參與），來自 75 個國家。台灣這次有七位與會。相較於其他經濟發達國家，台灣的參加人數不算多。研究資料基礎設施以及研究資料管理實務，是科學發展的基石，但在台灣還未能獲得應有的重視。若以兩年一次的國際資料週為借鏡，在科學資料與政策的國際發展與交流合作，還需要台灣科研資助機構的長期投入與關注。關於此次國際資料週的反思與報導，尚可參見以下研究組織的網站內容：
下一屆的國際資料週，將於 2027 年九月 20 到 23 日在南非開普敦舉行。
The 20th International Conference on Open Repositories (OR2025) was held in the City of Chicago, Illinois, USA, from June 15th to 18th, 2025. In this brief report, Tyng-Ruey Chuang outlined a few sessions in the main conference program and the depositar lab’s participation.
The venue of Open Repositories 2025 (OR2025) was at the University of Chicago Lab School nearby the campus of the University of Chicago. The main conference was held on June 16-18 while workshops were given on the 15th. Three members of the depositar lab (Tyng-Ruey Chuang, Cheng-Jen Lee, and Li Fan Wang) attended OR2025. We are thankful to the Local Host Organizing Committee for their hospitality and for arranging our accommodation at the Campus North Residential Commons, a modern facility in the heart of the UChicago campus and within walking distance to the conference venue.
The conference started with a keynote from Heather Joseph, the Executive Director of SPARC, on The Role of Open Access to Knowledge in a Challenging Political Landscape. Our presentation, on Automated Data Analytics: A Statistical Dashboard Built with GitLab CI/CD for a Data Repository Based on CKAN, was given by Ms Li Fan Wang, who is a graduate student from the National Cheng Kung University supported in part by Academia Sinica, in the Developer Track Session 2. The presentation was well received; in the Q&A session the team answered several questions from the audience.
Presentations in OR2025 are all timely and interesting. In particular, I am attracted to a presentation from the Brazilian Institute for Information in Science and Technology on Recognizing Software as a Critical Component in Open Science: Advancing an Interoperable, Community-Driven Vision for Infrastructures which is aligned with our approach in reusing and extending open source software, such as CKAN, for research data infrastructures. We also learn about new development at Figshare, Archipelago Commons, Dataverse, Fedora, Dspace, and InvenioRDM in Session 1 of Repository Showdown. We are very happy to meet a researcher from the West And Central African Research and Education Network (WACREN) and to learn that, as is the case at the depositar, they also use ARK to issue persistent identifiers for datasets at BAOBAB, an Invenio-based research data repository provided by WACREN to their member institutions. The presentation from the Fedora Community on finding its future path by learning from the past and bringing others together is very inspiring.
Following the tradition of the Open Repositories conferences, the presentation materials from OR2025 can now be found in a collection at Zenodo. Previously we had presented at Open Repositories in 2015, and from 2021 to 2025. Open Repositories 2026 will be held online on June 8-11, 2026. We plan to continue our contribution to this important series of conferences on research data infrastructures.
