Research data sets

RCUK Common Principles of Data Policy [2011]

http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/research/Pages/DataPolicy.aspx

•Publicly funded research data are a public good, produced in the public interest, which should be made openly available with as few restrictions as possible in a timely and responsible manner that does not harm intellectual property in the UK

Research data sets

• To enable research data to be discoverable and effectively re-used by others, sufficient metadata should be recorded and made openly available to enable other researchers to understand the research and re-use potential of the data. Published results should always include information on how to access the supporting data.

• Interoperability• authority list services - organisations;

journals; publishers• name disambiguation – ORCID http://orcid.org

or OKKAM? www.okkam.org

• Defined common semantics e.g. output types, researcher roles

• A standard CERIF ‘production’ model & tools to facilitate data exchange and aggregation

• Data sources• affordable bibliographic [and bibliometric?]

data• funders providing CERIF data [and vice-

versa]

Should we be moving data around … or should we concentrate on reusing it from authoritative source [in the cloud?] … how realistic and in what timescale?

• Research Data• Where and how is CERIF useful?• Are extensions necessary?

• Issues of access and security

• What data should we concentrate on?
