UGA Elements supports a repository of data about the professional activities of UGA faculty, staff, and students. These activities cross all three missions of UGA and also include administrative activities. They include objects such as profile elements (e.g., positions, education, professional interests), research outputs (e.g., publications, presentations, funding), instructional efforts (e.g., courses taught, students supervised), and professional activities (e.g., honors and awards, conference organization, society memberships, committee service, public service, outreach).
Some of these activity data are ingested from other authoritative sources (e.g., Athena for courses taught, external databases for publications, OVPR for sponsored funding), while some are manually entered and curated by the user (or her/his delegate).The data in UGA Elements are valuable for re-use, either at the individual user level or aggregated across organizational units of UGA, types of user, etc.
The data contained within the UGA Elements repository are considered institutional data as defined in section 6.0 of the UGA Data Access Policy. Access to this repository is managed according to the UGA Elements Data Access Policy & Procedures (outlined below; pdf version).
