ARIADNE• Advanced Research Infrastructure for Archaeological

Dataset Networking in Europe – EU FP7-Infrastructures project– Type „Integrating Activity“, 2/2013–1/2017– Focus on archaeological datasets – help overcome data

fragmentation and foster a culture of sharing and re-use– 23 partners of 18 European countries– Website: www.ariadne-infrastructure.eu – Data portal: http://portal.ariadne-infrastructure.eu

Main topics of this presentation

• Open Data – criteria, expectations and drivers• Current barriers to open data sharing data• How to benefit from open data publication• Issue of actual data re-use• Takeaway points

Page 4: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

Open Data – criteria• Accessible online– not necessarily without registration

• Reusable– open format (e.g. not PDF documents)– not summarized data (i.e. figures, charts, etc.) canned in

publications – state: raw, cleaned, normalized,… (accord. to practice)

• Machine-readable• Openly licensed– e.g. CC-BY or ODC-by, importance of Attribution!

• For free– yes, but somebody must pay to ensure sustainability

Page 5: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

Open Data – expectations• The scientific method: provide evidence for

knowledge claims („show us your data“)• Output of publicly funded research should be openly

available, and preserved properly• Better return-on-investment, e.g. – no/less duplication of data collection – better exploitation of available data– therefore emphasis on data re-use!

• More open data sharing => better analysis => better decision-making / solutions

• Innovation through „data-intensive“, „data-driven“, „big data“ research (incl. archaeology?)

Page 6: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

Open Data – drivers /1• High-level policies– OECD Declaration on Access to Research

Data from Public Funding (2004; Principles and Guidelines, 2007) … many others

• Research funding agencies– Open Access mandates (for publications)

extended to data– Mandatory data management plans, i.e. data

sharing must be considered already at application stage

– e.g. European Commission Open Research Data Pilot in Horizon 2020 programme

Neelie Kroes, EC Vice-President, 2012:“Taxpayers should not have to pay twice for scientific research and they need seam-less access to raw data. We want to bring dissemination and exploitation of scientific research results to the next level.”

Page 7: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

Open Data – drivers /2• Data repositories/archives are being put in place– General• Zenodo (related to OpenAIRE)• Figshare and Mendeley Data (commercial background)

– Archaeology • Archaeology Data Service (UK, since 1996!)• E-depot Nederlandse Archeologie (NL)• MAPPA (Pisa, Italy)• IANUS (Germany, in preparation) • OpenContext and tDAR (USA)

• Community data archives missing in many countries

Page 8: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

Current data (non-)sharing behaviour• Contrary to what advocates of proper management

and sharing of data would like researchers to do• According to representative surveys (PARSE.Insight

2009, Science 2011): Most data remains locked away– On personal computers, portable storage carriers,

restricted access servers… eventually discarded as “obsolete” or lost otherwise

• Mostly not considered: Potential value of the data for alternate and new uses by others

• Only 6-8% of researchers sometimes deposit data in a community open data repository/archive

Page 9: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

Archiving/storing data for future use /1

PARSE.Insight survey 2009: 1202 respondents – different research domains and countries

Page 10: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

Archiving/storing data for future use /2

“Science” journal 2011 survey of peer reviewers: 1700 responses – different research domains and countriesWhere do you archive most of the data generated in your lab or for your research?

50.2% in our lab38.5% university server 7.6% community repository 3.2% “other” 0.5% not stored

Data archiving/publication

ARIADNE online survey

Nov./Dec. 2013

Page 12: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

Barriers to open data sharing• Many obstacles to providing open access to reusable

data – Priority of published papers– Little academic reward for development and sharing of

datasets/DB– Required effort to share re-usable data (incl. formatting,

metadata creation, licensing etc.)– Existing copyrights, confidential and sensitive data – Concerns that data could be scooped, misused or

misinterpreted – Potential reputational risk (e.g. data quality, errors,…)

• Overall a bad ratio of additional effort & risks to potential benefits

Page 13: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

Barriers to data deposit/publicationARIADNE

online survey

Nov./Dec. 2013

Page 14: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

„How would you rate the importance of the following potential barriers to enhancing access to research data?”

European Commission: Online survey on scientific information in the digital age (2012); 1140 participants from around Europe.

Need to make clear benefits of open data publication!

Page 15: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

Authors‘ benefit focus• Goal = recognition and academic reward for data

providers – same as for other publications• Core mechanism = citation of published data/set– Confirms value of the data contributed– Indicates providers of good data– Promotes further use of the data (i.e. more citations)– Allows the use and impact of the data to be tracked and

measured • But data citation metrics not implemented yet• Some indications of higher citation rates of

publications that make underlying data available

Page 16: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

How to reap the benefits? / 1• Deposit data that underpins your research results in

a reliable, community recognised repository– See: Data Seal of Approval; Trusted Repositories Audit &

Certification (TRAC) and other checklists – Should provide unique persistent identifiers (e.g. DOIs)– Require following citation standard as part of user

agreement (e.g. DataCite; citation in reference list)

• Provide good metadata – “no pain, no gain”– Key for data re-use without direct contact with creator– Costs of preparing data and metadata for publication

should be included in project funding

Page 17: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

How to reap the benefits? /2• Apply a license not impeding re-use (e.g. CC-BY,

ODC-BY)• Demand proper citation by others who use your

published data• Publish a “data paper” (about your data)• Promote/cite your data when appropriate• Seek collaboration and co-authoring of papers with

data re-users

Page 18: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

Issue of actual data re-use• No re-use => no citation => no recognition/rewards • Few studies on re-use outside of science (best known

Piwowar & Vision 2013 on genomics data)• DIPIR project included archaeologists (Faniel et al.

2013) – main results:– Key importance of sufficient contextual information– Especially research design and data collection procedures– Other criteria (less important):

• Institutional background of data producers (training, reputation)

• Good practices of the data repository

• Will there be a lot of re-use if more data is openly available?

Page 19: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

Takeaway points /1• Researchers as open data publishers and consumers– Publish open data to reap benefits – individually and as

research community– Recognise colleagues who share data, cite their datasets

properly

• Research institutions – Reward researchers who publish data– Change mind-sets by doing (not teethless mandates)– Offer skills development and support

• Data archives/repositories– Important research infrastructure – need sustained

funding, but also demonstrate usage/impact– Repositories and researchers are partners

Page 20: Requirements for Open Sharing of Archaeological Research Data

Takeaway points /2• Research funders– Open Data mandates should come with financial coverage

of extra effort for open data publication

• All: It‘s not about data management (plans) to comply with policies

• It‘s about … – making published data part of the scholarly record –

persistent, citable, rewarded – demonstrating tangible benefits of open data publication

and re-use
