The Brave New World: Implementing the LERU Roadmap for Research Data
Dr Paul Ayris Director of UCL Library Services and UCL Copyright OfficerChief Executive, UCL PressChair, LERU Chief Information Officer Community
Modern computers permit massive datasets to be assembled and explored in ways that reveal inherent but unsuspected relationships. This data-led science is a promising new source of knowledge (p. 7)
The emergence of linked data technologies creates new information through deeper integration of data across different datasets with the potential to greatly enhance automated approaches to data analysis (p. 7)

Open data is the idea that certain data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control

Aim: To determine the sequence of chemical base pairs which make up human DNA, and to identify and map the total genes of the human genome
Benefits – felt from molecular medicine to human evolution Better understanding of disease Design of medication and prediction of their effects Commercial development of genomics research

LERU Roadmap for Research Data
Overseen by Research Data Working Group

Open Data allows research data to be shared and re-used Avoids costly duplication of research activity Provides greater transparency in research activity Potential to speed discovery of solutions to societal Grand
Challenges, such as health care & environmental science
Can all research data be open? Certain categories probably cannot
National security Data protection Commercial Funder requirements
LERU Roadmap identifies this as an area for future study

UCL’s performance against LIBER targetsLIBER target UCL performance
1. Offer RDM support UCL Library Services has appointed Advocacy Officer and Library has visited all 11 Schools/Faculties to work with UCL Research Data Service [RDS]
2. Engage in metadata services
Not yet done
3. Engage in professional skills development
University of Sheffield training Library’s liaison teams in RDM in 2014-15
4. Engage in policy development
UCL Library Services authored UCL’s Research Data Policy at https://www.ucl.ac.uk/isd/services/research-it/documents/uclresearchdatapolicy.pdf
5. Create partnerships for interoperable infrastructures
Not yet done. Emphasis in RDS is on UCL provision23

6. Provide services for storage, discovery and permanent access
RDS has storage service in place. Archive service being established by RDS. Discovery service not yet in place – will be joint RDS/Library service
7. Apply persistent identifiers to research data
Arrangements made with DataCite to produce persistent identifiers; complements UCL’s membership of CrossRef which allows UCL to give DOIs to publications
8. Provide an institutional data catalogue
Planned, but not yet done. Will be joint RDS/Library development
9. Engage in subject-specific data management
Library’s Liaison Teams being trained in RDM 2014-15
10. Offer storage solutions Storage and Archive services offered by RDS. Library will curate outputs of ‘Small Science’, active datasets and outputs from digitisation programmes 25

Conclusions
Libraries have not traditionally collected research data
Open data has the power to revolutionize the way research is undertaken and disseminated
New role for libraries in supporting their researchers
