• 3 Dutch TU’s: Delft, Eindhoven, Twente• Project 2008-2011, going concern 2012-• Data archive

– 2008 -– “finished” data– preserve but do not forget usability– data citation information (incl. DataCite DOI’s)

• Data labs– Started (hosting)– Unfinished data + software/scripts

Website & Data-archiveWebsite & Data-archive• http://datacentrum.3tu.nl• Information

• http://data.3tu.nl• Data sets download and

‘management’• ‘Use’ data with Google

Maps/Earth, OPeNDAP, …

• ‘Simple’ sets (Do It Yourself)Standard (self)upload form and descriptive information, single file per object (can be a ‘zipped’ collection), single DOI, …

E.g.: Zandvliet, H.J.W. et al. (2010): Diffusion driven concerted motion of surface atoms: Ge on Ge(001). MESA+ Institute For Nanotechnology, University of Twente. doi:10.4121/uuid:3f71549c-6097-4bb8-bc00-6db77deb161d

• Special collections (Do It Together)Negotiate: deposit procedure, description (xml, picture, preview), data model, level of DOI assignment, query online, …

E.g.: Otto, T., Russchenberg, H.W.J. (2010): IDRA weather radar measurements - all data. TU Delft - Delft University of Technology. doi:10.4121/uuid:5f3bcaa2-a456-4a66-a67b-1eec928cae6d

ExperienceExperience

• Front office– Being (physically) close helps building trust– Huge ‘disciplinary’ (individual) differences in openness and data

management level– Need more than a few (trained) people

• Back office– Wide array of skills required (legal, it,

management, digital curation, research tools, training, …)

– Trade-off between long term preservationand (re-)use

– Balancing generic and discipline specific

• Data labs– Value for acquisition and standardization

The benefits for data producers and data consumers

• Increased visibility of research output. (metadata in repository networks, assigning doi’s, facilitate increases citation rate for ‘enhanced publications’, ...);

• Improved quality of dataset (quality assurance for multi- user setup, checks on ingest, …);

• Provide (long-term) preservation of and accessibility to, valuable research data;

• Distribution of research data for reuse, including administration and usage statistics;

• Provides advice on data management, rights, formats, metadata, etc.

Nobody needs my data

Data transfer not needed, every PhD does own project

Our datasets are confidential

Interesting but not for me

Only for long term continuous

data

Datasets are stored by publisherNo time!

Our research is once only

What do data producers say? 1/2What do data producers say? 1/2

Surprising our university had no faciltity for data

preservation

Transfer of data between PhD’s can be

improved

Would like to publish data

Good opportunity to share datasets

we bought

Very usefull, essential metadata

often missing Much to

improve in reuse of data

When can I store my datasets?
