Research- The SURFshare programme 2007-2011

Research Data & SURFfoundation

Research data is involved in most of our WP’s in the SURFshare programme:

- Enhanced publications (WP 1)- Collaboratories (WP 2)- Open access, quality and impact (WP 3)- Architecture and infrastructure (WP 4)- Permanent access, long term

preservation (WP 6)

Initiatives SURF

- Tender Projects 2007 + 2008 on Enhanced publications (2 / 5) and Collaboratories (4 / 2)

- Legal studies- Project 3TU (3 Technical Universities):

Valuable data and services- Workshop: Encouraging and

Rewarding depositing of data DANS and SURF (Data Archiving and Networked Services & SURF (July 2008)

- Research Data forum

SURFshare tenders on Enhanced Publications (EP); Projects (with matching) funded by SURF (WP 1)

- 2007• Samen in Delen (Proof of concept catalogue with 6 EP’s also

focused on standards DDI, SDMX, XBRL)• CORF OA+ (system/model for creating EP)-> Lessons Learned->- 2008• JALC (Setting up a journal for enhanced archeological publications)• ESCAPE (Resource map editor and repository)• DatapluS (Continuation of Samen in Delen; with EP editor)• Proefschriften Plus (25 Enhanced e-theses)• Veteran Tapes (Enriching publications with transcribed interviews

of veterans)

Tenders 2007 + 2008

Legal Issues

SURF (wp6) commissioned 3 reports;Centre for Intellectual Property Law (CIER):

- First report now in draft on: Who owns the data?

- Second report on Privacy

- Third report on Liability (of repositories or datacenters)

Project Valuable Data & Services

3TU and SURFResearcher Needs:

- No loss of knowledge- Ability to browse through data- Support in storing, preserving and discovering data- Alert possibility on newly deposited data- Conversion from one format to another (interdisciplinary

interoperability)- Checklist for Data- Statistics on data use- Clear access management

Workshop Encouraging & Rewarding Deposits

NWO (National Scientific Organization, Funding)- State responsibilities. Make data depositing a regular activity- Last payment postponed until data is deposited- Emphasize the Added value of quality data that is linked to

other data (or publications)- Create centers of expertise that can support the community

Universities- Start creating awareness with students and young researchers- Promote (the possibilities of) reuse of data.- Validation of data- Policies on Data (open!) data management – they signed the

Berlin Declaration- Involve Data specialist when applying for funding- Showcase Good Practices

Encouraging and Rewarding Deposits (2)

(University)Library- Link Data to publications and make data visible (if

possible Repositories or with link to datacenters)- Support researchers -> Data Professional- Letter to universities, NOW and ministry: what is the

policy on Open data and what are you doing to enforce it?

DANS- See to it that data is deposited (if that is in the NWO

contract)- Dataseal of approval- Active Acquisition of data - What is important, regularly used -> Citations / Statistics

of data- Document used standards, archival formats

workshop Onderzoeksdata13

Encouraging and Rewarding Deposits (3)

SURFfoundation- Showcase Enhanced publications- Interoperability. Standards for citation of data

(persistent identifiers); for rewarding purposes- Support Workflows Universities- Make sure that publishers don’t own the data (licenses

for authors) - Promote Data Professionals within Universities and

disseminate knowledge on research

Other National developments

- NCDD (National Coalition of Digital Preservation) - Exploring the data landscape

- Who stores what and why?

- DANS (Data and Network Services)- Dataseal of approval

- 3TU (Collaboration of 3 Technical Universities)- Setting up of a Data center for Technical studies

International

- Great Britain:- DCC

- Management all research output in digital form

- national focus research development curation issues

- promote expertise and good practise

- DCC life cycle model

- Research Data Management Forum

- JISC- Digital preservation and Records Management

Programme

- Germany

- IZA

- Open Data Foundation

International (2)

- U.S.- Blue Ribbon Taskforce on Sustainable Preservation

and Access

- Access and preservation must be strategic and

actionable priority

- Canada:- GAP analysis

Coordination?

1. (Even)within SURFfoundation2. National3. Interdisciplinary4. International5. Stakeholders

workshop Onderzoeksdata18

Workshop Research Data (25-03)

- To emphasize the growing importance of data in scholarly communication

- To take stock of the different developments across disciplines and countries

- To identify common issues and prioritize- To identify the stakeholders per issue- To plan further action

workshop Onderzoeksdata19

Results; Top ‘3’

1. Coordination2. Encouraging deposits and creating commitment to data not

just with researchers but with institutions, funders etc.3. Metadata standards3. Disciplinary differences (no interdisciplinary

interoperability…)3. Preservation of which data in which format and for how long

and who decides?3. Policies (including who is responsible for what?)3. Dissemination of knowledge and training: need for data

professionals3. Copyright and Privacy

Next steps

Research Data Forum

- Core group that will have a Helicopter view, quarterly meetings.

- Group consists of Experts in the Dutch field of Primary Data

- Setup working groups that will tackle more specific problems (e.g. copyright, awareness, metadata standards etc.)

- Meet with International experts to solve transdisciplinary and transnational issues

Thanks!

- Questions?

Coordination on a International/Interdisciplinary

Level

Knowledge ExchangeCollaborations and exchange of knowledge and experience

between the DFG (Germany), DEFF (Denmark), JISC (UK) and SURFfoundation (the Netherlands) on several topics (one of which is Primary Data)

Which topics - Transdisciplinary issues (research doesn’t stop at the

borders)- Content aggregation (standards to ensure interoperability)- Share developments/practices/use cases to convince

researchers and policy makers that sharing data is vital- Workshop on best practices to be held in 2009
