Building Data Capacity and Capability: Requirements, Challenges, and Opportunities in Organizations

In the rapidly evolving data landscape, understanding data capacity and capability is essential for organizations. Dr. Liz Lyon discusses key requirements and challenges faced by institutions, highlighting the skills and competencies necessary to harness big data effectively. The importance of data analysis, visualization, and management policies is emphasized to equip future data scientists and professionals. This workshop from the UK Digital Curation Centre provides insights into the gaps and opportunities in developing data roles across various sectors.

  2. Running order….. • Data landscape snapshots • Roles and responsibilities • Skills and competencies • Gaps and opportunities

  3. “The ability to take data -to be able to understand it, to process it, to extract value from it, to visualise it, to communicate it -that’s going to be a hugely important skill in the next decades.” Hal Varian, Chief Economist, Google

  4. Implications of “Big Data” and data science for organisations in all sectors Predicts a shortage of 190,000 data scientists by 2019 http://www.mckinsey.com/Insights/MGI/Research/Technology_and_Innovation/Big_data_The_next_frontier_for_innovation

  5. “Big Data” Data scientist Data Science Revealed community survey http://www.emc.com/collateral/about/news/emc-data-science-study-wp.pdf

  6. Other data-related roles?

  7. Data journalist Data artist?

  8. RLUK/Mary Auckland: Reskilling for Research 9 areas are skill gaps for subject librarians Sheila Corrall: Libraries, Librarians and Data Many action exemplars 2012: Libraries in review

  9. Data from RLUK/Mary Auckland: Reskilling for Research 2012

  10. “Very few librarians are likely to have specialist scientific or medical knowledge - if you train as a research scientist or a medic, you probably won’t become a librarian.” RLUK/Mary Auckland: Reskilling for Research 2012

  11. Leadership & co-ordination • Strategy and planning • Policy • Legal and ethical (FoI, Data Protection) • Advocacy (data informatics) • Data repositories • Data storage • Data analysis • Data visualisation • Data mining • Data modelling • Data licensing • Training….

  12. University data roles? • Roles (7 listed) • Responsibilities • Requirements • Relationships Liz Lyon, Informatics Transform, IJDC Current Issue, 2012

Director IS/CIO/University Librarian Data librarians /data scientist /liaison/subject/faculty librarians Repository managers IT/Computing Services Research Support/Innovation Office Doctoral Training Centres PVC Research + Public Engagement Office Data roles Liz Lyon, Informatics Transform, IJDC Current Issue, 2012

  14. Leadership Advocacy Full mapping : Informatics Transform, IJDC Current issue, 2012

  15. April 2011 - EPSRC Letter to VCs EPSRC expects all those institutions it funds • to develop a roadmap that aligns their policies and processes with EPSRC’s expectations by 1st May 2012; • to be fully compliant with these expectations by1st May 2015. http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/about/standards/researchdata/Pages/expectations.aspx

  16. Awareness of regulatory environment • Data access statement • Data policies and processes • Data storage • Structured metadata descriptions • DOIs for data • Data securely preserved for a minimum of 10 years

  17. Leadership • Co-ordination • Pan-institutional perspective • Operational plan • Wider strategic alignment

  18. Advocacy and support • Data requirements: legacy data • Data management plans: tools • Informatics: disciplinary metadata schema, standards, formats, identifiers, ontologies • Citation: links to publications • Reuse: tracking your data
