Research data management: interoperability, collaboration, and the research library role
Let's meet at: 09:00 - 12:30, Room: Guimarães I \| 23 Jan 2018
Session Chairs: Simone Sacchi (LIBER)
Targeting: Libraries; Data Infrastructure communities; Researchers; Service providers; Users.
Objectives: To triangulate the EUDAT CDI approach with the RDA outcomes with the requirements to support libraries and data infrastructure communities in the area of research data management, within the lens of the emerging EOSC principles, policies and service catalogue. To follow-up synergies identified during the Open Science Fair 2017.
More info on the session: The workshop aims at uncovering intersections between the activities of three organizations supporting research data management practices from different perspectives: RDA, as a standardization body; EUDAT and its Collaborative Data Infrastructure (CDI), providing research data management (RDM) services; and the Research Libraries community, helping researchers be successful in their RDM endeavours. LIBER, EUDAT and RDA will address the work, that needs to be done to harmonise their three roles and perspectives within the lens of the emerging European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) principles, policies and rules of engagement, and interoperable service catalogue. Putting together the EUDAT services and the RDA policies, practices and components, this workshop will help unravel how research libraries can effectively leverage the outcome of EUDAT and RDA within the research communities they support. Practical collaborative approaches will be showcased and emphasized, taking Data Management Plans as exemplar nexuses. Following this approach, synergies can be not only uncovered, but complementary roles of these organizations/communities can be fostered, to promote a pan-European ecosystem of systems in support of effective Open Science. Questions that this workshop will attempt to answer: What are the EUDAT CDI services that are helpful for libraries and data infrastructure communities? What is the mid/long-term vision? What are the purposes Data Management Plans can serve today, what are the services required to make them real, how can institutions support DMPs and what is needed to transform them into dynamic tools in the near future? What is the importance of research data management and interoperability for libraries and data infrastructure communities? What is their role regarding interoperability? What are the priorities for libraries in terms of machine actionable requirements to further support research data management? What are the skills needed and what the available learning materials/tools and standards into integrating them? This workshop, led by LIBER, in collaboration with EUDAT and RDA, is a follow-up of the workshop “Organising high data quality research data management services for Open Science” that took place during the Open Science Fair 2017, which outlined the perspectives of collaboration between the three communities.
