Role for Libraries in Data Curation & Preservation
Sabine Schrimpf, Deutsche Nationalbibliothek
A result of ODE WP 4 “Data enters scholarly communication”
7 Criteria for data
– Availability
– Findability
– Interpretability
– Re-Useability
– Citability
– Curation/Peservation

What makes data so special to handle?
– There is no universal definition of „research data“
– Often: Dynamic aggregations of individual data points
– Often: Formats are uncomplicated (.txt, .csv), but semantics are crucial
– Variable level of granularity
– Software (often: proprietary!) needed to analyze data

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

– 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,…)
