Role for Libraries in Data Curation & Preservation

1. 1 Sabine Schrimpf, Deutsche Nationalbibliothek Role for Libraries in Data Curation & Preservation A result of ODE WP 4 “Data enters scholarly communication” | 14 | Role for Libraries in Data Curation & Preservation | ODE Workshop, Tartu, 27 June 2012

2. 2 7Criteria for data • Availability • Findability • Interpretability • Re-Useability • Citability • Curation/Peservation | 14 | Role for Libraries in Data Curation & Preservation | ODE Workshop, Tartu, 27 June 2012

3. 3 Whatmakesdata so specialto handle? • Thereisno universal definitionof „researchdata“ • Often: Dynamic aggregationsof individual datapoints • Often: Formats areuncomplicated (.txt, .csv), but semanticsarecrucial • Variable levelofgranularity • Software (often: proprietary!) neededtoanalyzedata | 14 | Role for Libraries in Data Curation & Preservation | ODE Workshop, Tartu, 27 June 2012

5. 5 „Traditional“ roles • Data Centres • Data creation, access, storage and preservation • Data protection, privacy regulations, research ethic issues • Discipline specific expertise • Publishers • Aggregate, appraise, publishknowledgeandinformation • Identify (persistently) • Libraries • Collect, organize, describe, preserve and make available knowledge and information • Bibliographic services http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/campaigns/res3/jischelp.aspx | 14 | Role for Libraries in Data Curation & Preservation | ODE Workshop, Tartu, 27 June 2012

6. 6 Libraries‘ role – rationales for evolution • Increasing demand from funders that data is made publicly available • Increasing demand from researchers for data management support • Increasingly sophisticated publication outputs | 14 | Role for Libraries in Data Curation & Preservation | ODE Workshop, Tartu, 27 June 2012

8. 8 Implications for libraries • Prepare for adequate preservation strategies. • Presentation and preservation mechanisms • Persistent link • Citability of dataset • Persistent link • Perpetual access to dataset • Support publication process • Curation of datasets • Metadata and documentation • Engage in datamanagementplanning | 14 | Role for Libraries in Data Curation & Preservation | ODE Workshop, Tartu, 27 June 2012

13. 13 Challenges & Opportunities • Policies and strategies for data handling • Transparency about curation of submitted data • Collaborate with data creators (researcher, institute, data centre) • Promote good data management practice • Instruct researchers on discipline specific best practices in data creation (preservation formats, documentation of experiment,…) | 14 | Role for Libraries in Data Curation & Preservation | ODE Workshop, Tartu, 27 June 2012
