Riding The Wave, October 2010

Our vision is a scientific e-infrastructure thatsupports seamless access, use, re-use, and trust of data.

A Surfboard For Riding The Wave, November 2011

We identified four key drivers:• incentives and• training in relation to

researchers in their role as data producers and users of information infrastructures

• infrastructure and• funding of the

infrastructure in relation to further developments in data logistics.

ODE: Opportunities for Data Exchange 2/3

Libraries and research data management TICER 2012

“In citing data, there are however some unique considerations, due to the

particular properties of datasets. Examples of this are:”

• granularity

• versioning

• location of the data

• acknowledging creators

12

ODE: Opportunities for Data Exchange 3/3

Libraries and research data management TICER 2012

The ODE report “Integration of Data and Publication” (Reilly et al 2011)

concluded that these six criteria are key to ensuring the long term success

of linking data effectively to publications:

• availability

• findability

• interpretability and re-usability

• citability

• curation

• preservation

13

Royal Society: Science as an Open Enterprise, 1

Data must be

• readily located

• accessible

• intelligible

• assessable

• usable by others

For data to meet these requirements it must be supported by explanatory metadata (data about data).

Royal Society: Science as an Open Enterprise, 2

Success (…) will come from six changes:

1. a shift away from a research culture where data is viewed as a private preserve

2. credit for useful data communication and novel ways of collaborating

3. the development of common standards for communicating data

4. mandating intelligent openness for data relevant to published scientific papers

5. data scientists

6. new software tools

Royal Society: Science as an Open Enterprise, 3

We are now on the brink of an achievable aim: for all science literature to be online, for all of the data to be online and for the two to be interoperable.

The cost of data curation to exacting standards is often demonstrably smaller than the costs of collecting further or new data.

Not only is open science often effective in stimulating scientific discovery, it may also help to deter, detect and stamp out bad science.

What researchers want

• Solutions for storage and preservation (two distinct issues).

• Tools and services must be in tune with researchers’ workflows.

• Researchers favour a ‘cafeteria’ model for services.

• Tools and services must be easy to use.

• Disciplinary differences must be taken into account.

• Researchers resist top-down and/or mandatory schemes.

• Researchers must be in control of what happens to their data.

• Researchers expect tools and services to support their research (not public requirements).

• The benefits of the support must be clearly visible – not in three years’ time, but now.

• Support must be local, hands-on, and available when needed.

Don’t re-invent the wheel
