  1. Infrastructure and technology challenges in Open Access to research data –The RECODE Project perspective Tenth Plenary Session of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO-X) & Geneva Ministerial Summit Florence Division Centre International de Conférences de Genève (CICG) 17, rue de Varembé Geneva (Switerland) Lorenzo bigagli and the recode team CNR IIA (florencedivision ) bigagli@iia.cnr.it

  2. Outline • Introduction • The RECODE Project • Key findings on Infrastructure and Technology challenges • Online questionnaire, case studies interviews, literature review, workshop • Contacts and next dates

  3. The RECODE project Grant agreement no: 321463 Policy RECommendations for Open access to research Data in Europe (RECODE) 1 February 2013 – 31 January 2015 (24 months) Eight partners across five countries

  4. Objectives Produce policy guidelines

  5. Case Studies

  6. Grand challenges

  7. The GEOSS lesson • Global Earth Observation System of Systems • EuroGEOSS • EGIDA • Coordinating Earth and Environmental cross-disciplinary projects to promote GEOSS • EGIDA Methodology

  8. EGIDA Methodology • General approach for (re-) engineering national Science & Technology infrastructures for a sustainable contribution to GEOSS • System of Systems (SoS) approach • Mobilization of resources made available by national, European and global initiatives

  9. RECODE Stakeholder Taxonomy • We congregate the disseminator and curator roles • We assume they share similar concerns for our purpose • Citizens may be considered as research data user/producers (cf. Citizen Science) • We assume their involvement in use and production of data is mediated by appropriate applications (e.g. mobile apps) that practically isolate them from the implied technological and infrastructural issues

  10. Online questionnaire • Closed, concise questions • ~50 responses so far • Still open • http://goo.gl/raafCF

  11. Online questionnaire

  12. Interviews Experience with OA publications, but not with data publications or data preservation Metadata are considered crucial to enable retrieval, re-use and preservation of research data Financial and legal barriers are considered higher priority then technical ones Data management plans are being developed, but still at an early stage Solutions for data management and preservation are not common nor centralized

  13. EC Public Consultation on Open Research Data • 2nd July 2013, in Brussels • ~130 attendants stakeholders from the research community, industry, funders, libraries, publishers, infrastructure developers, etc. • Focused on five questions • How can we define research data and what types of research data should be open? • When and how does openness need to be limited? • How should the issue of data re-use be addressed? • Where should research data be stored and made accessible? • How can we enhance data awareness and a culture of sharing?

  14. H2020 Pilot on Open Access to Research Data • Requirements • Detailed data management plan covering individual datasets (within 6 months) • Deposit the research data, preferably into a research data repository • Take measures to enable for third parties to access, mine, exploit, reproduce and disseminate (free of charge for any user) this research data • E.g., Creative Commons License (CC-BY, CC0) • Provide information about tools and instruments at the disposal of the beneficiaries and necessary for validating the results • E.g., specialized software, algorithms, analysis protocols. Where possible, they should provide the tools and instruments themselves

  15. Big Data • The Big Data issue (the 4 V’s) • Volume - data at rest • Velocity - data in motion (streaming) • Variety - many types, forms and structures or no structures • Veracity - trustworthiness, provenance, lineage, quality • Validity - data that is correct • Visualization - data in patterns • Vulnerability - data at risk • Value - data that is meaningful

  16. Workshop questions • Where should open research data be stored and made accessible? • How can we mitigate the technological barriers to Open Access to research Data? • How can we cope with technological sustainability and obsolescence? • What emerging technologies could be optimized to promote ease of deposit and retrieval of research data?

  17. Infrastructure and Technology challenges – Overview

  18. Inputs from the workshop • Importance of metadata • For quality, etc. • Heterogeneity is here to stay • Heterogeneity of user requirements makes it difficult to identify a unique solution to be adopted • To build on the existing research infrastructure, supplementing and not supplanting it • To be flexible applying extensible technological and organizational solutions • To share does not mean to give everything to everyone • To distinguish among different approaches to Open Access • To discuss new professional roles stemming from the Data Science and Open Data in particular

  19. Contacts and next dates • http://recodeproject.eu/ • @RECODE_Project • 3rd RECODE Workshop “Ethical and legal issues in open access to research data” • 14 March 2014 • MeertensInstitute, Joan Muyskenweg 25, 1096 CJ Amsterdam (NL)

  34. EC Public Consultation on Open Research Data • How can we define research data and what types of research data should be open? • Definitions vary, with some contributions defining research data as potentially all data (including public sector information), and some limiting it to data that is the product of research • For researchers, research data includes all data from an experiment, study or measurement, including metadata and details on processing data • For publishers, data linked to publications is part of the publication

  35. EC Public Consultation on Open Research Data • How should the issue of data re-use be addressed? • Discussions about licensing, but also about technical aspects of open research data • Not just on whether and how data should be re-used, but also on the adequacy of e-infrastructures for data re-use • Directive on the re-use of public sector information (2003/98/EC, currently under revision) was mentioned several times • While public sector information (PSI) is distinct from research data and governed by a specific directive, it is important to remember that this type of information can also be useful for research

  36. EC Public Consultation on Open Research Data • Where should research data be stored and made accessible? • The need for improved data management practices and better data accessibility is a key concern • Issues closely linked with data preservation and sustainability of data repositories • The readiness of professionals to engage in data curation was also highlighted • All stakeholders agreed that any funding body policy on open research data must call on researchers to take the issue of data management seriously by developing data management plans (DMPs) for their research projects

  37. H2020 Guidelines on Data Management • Scientific research data should be easily • Discoverable • Accessible • Assessable and intelligible • Useable beyond the original purpose for which it was collected • Interoperable to specific quality standards
