<p>DataverseNO is a national, generalist repository for research data from researchers from Norwegian research organizations. The repository is operated by UiT The Arctic University of Norway on behalf of a national consortium consisting of universities and research institutes. To guide us on our continuous path towards trustworthiness, DataverseNO has endorsed two fundamental principles, TRUST and POSI.</p>
<p>The TRUST Principles for Digital Repositories are a set of guiding principles to demonstrate the trustworthiness of digital repositories (Lin et al. 2020). TRUST is a mnemonic for Transparency, Responsibility, User focus, Sustainability and Technology, and forms the backbone of the CoreTrustSeal requirements for Trusted Digital Repositories.</p>
<p>POSI &ndash; the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure &ndash; are a set of guidelines for how to run and sustain scholarly infrastructure (Bilder et al. 2023). The POSI principles are intended to help organizations shape foundational decisions about governance, funding, and technology strategies as part of their continuous efforts to gain and maintain the trust of the community they serve.</p>
<p>At DataverseNO, we rely on collaboration as a key factor in our continuous efforts to implement the TRUST and POSI principles. In this presentation, I will outline how we collaborate at local, national and international levels to sustain and enforce DataverseNO as a Trusted Digital Repository and a cornerstone in the national research infrastructure ecosystem of Norway.</p>
