A word about BD2K

What’s driving the need for a Data Commons?

Convergence of factors

Mountains of Data

Increasing need and support for Data sharing

Availability of digital technologies and infrastructures that support Data at scale

https://gds.nih.gov/ Went into effect January 25, 2015

NCI guidance:http://www.cancer.gov/grants-training/grants-management/nci-policies/genomic-data

Requires public sharing of genomic data sets

Recommendation #4: A national cancer data ecosystem for sharing and analysis.

Create a National Cancer Data Ecosystem to collect, share, and interconnect a broad array of large datasets so that researchers, clinicians, and patients will be able to both contribute and analyze data, facilitating discovery that will ultimately improve patient care and outcomes.

Challenges with Biomedical DataThe Journal Article is the end goal

Data is a means to an ends (low value) Data is not FAIR Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reproducible Limited e-infrastructures to support FAIR data

What’sChanging?

Digital ecosystems

Development of the NIH Data Commons

How do we find data, software, standards? How can we make (large) data, annotations,

software, metadata accessible? How do we reuse data, tools and standards? How do we make more data machine readable? How do we leverage existing digital technologies

systems, infrastructures? How do we collaborate? How do we enable digital ecosystem?

Changing the conversation around Data sharing and access

NIH Data Commons

Data Commons enabling data driven science

Enable investigators to leverage all possible data and tools in the effort to accelerate biomedical discoveries, therapies and cures

by driving the development of data infrastructure and data science capabilities through collaborative research and robust engineering

Matthew Trunnel, FHC

Data Commons’s

Developing a Data Commons

Treats products of research – data, methods, papers etc. as digital objects

These digital objects exist in a shared virtual space• Find, Deposit, Manage, Share, and Reuse data,

software, metadata and workflows Digital object compliance through FAIR principles:• Findable• Accessible (and usable)• Interoperable • Reusable

The Data Commons is a framework that supports

FAIR data access and sharing and fosters the development of a digital ecosystem

Considerations and Concluding Thoughts

ConsiderationsMetrics – Understanding and accounting of data usage patternsCost• Cloud Storage• Pay for use cloud compute (NIH credits pilot)• Indirect costs for cloud

Hybrid Clouds – Institution (private) and commercial (public) cloudsManaging Open vs Controlled access data • Auth: single sign on - dreams/nightmares?

Archive vs Working and versioning Copies of data Interoperability with other Commons (clouds)

Standards – Metadata, UIDs, APIs Discoverability – Finding digital objects across clouds Interfaces – For users with different needs and capabilities Consent – Reconsenting data, Dynamic consents? Policies

• Data sharing policies that are useful and effective • Keep pace with use of technology (e.g. dbGAP data in the Cloud)

Incentives • Access to, and shareability of FAIR Data as part of NIH grant review

criteria

Governance – Community involvement in governance models Sustainability – Long term support

Relevance to Australia?

Relevance to Australia The value of Australian Data *

Unique flora and fauna e.g Marsupials

Indigenous Australians

Understanding of genomic structure – health & disease Medicinal products

Making this data (securely) available With high quality annotation and metadata Attributions to original authors On the cloud Via open standard APIs

Aggregation of data via an Australian wide Commons?

Summary

We need an unprecedented level of convergence and collaboration to drive biomedical science to the next level.

Supporting this model of data-intensive collaborative science requires a shift in academic research culture and new investments in data infrastructure and capabilities.
