Horizon 2020

Europe's surfboard for the research data wave

The High Level Expert Group on Scientific Data presented Riding the Wave in October 2010

Vision: "data e-infrastructure that supports seamless access, use, re-use, and trust of data. In a sense, the physical and technical infrastructure becomes invisible and the data themselves become the infrastructure a valuable asset on which science, technology, the economy and society can advance".

be of broad interest (research, education, innovation, economic…)

offer scope for world-leading research

be used by several research teams/users with highly advanced projects

be so-large that individual groups cannot operate them on their own

have long-term plans for their scientific objectives, funding and exploitation

be open and accessible for researchers

be persistently providing services (24/7)

[…]adapted from a presentation by the Swedish Research Council

about research infrastructures, data, and… libraries

implementing interoperable data infrastructure

(a)data generators; research projects, big research infrastructure, installations or medium size laboratories, simulation centres, surveys or individual researchers

(b)discipline-specific data service providers, providing data and workflows as a service

(c) providers of generic common data services (computing centres, libraries)

(d)researchers as users, using the data for science and engineering

community driven data infrastructure, including ESFRI, ESFRI clusters and others

Opportunity to combine grass-roots thinking with broad engagement

what are we going to do with research data?

data and “research data”data is different from articlesthere are data and data – context dependent(almost) all data can be used for research but some data are primarily collected for research – mediated access and accepted reputation mechanism

data e-infrastructures will emerge relying onresearch and education networks w/ global connectivitycomputing and software e-infrastructuresbut data e-infrastructures are very different from nets and computingthey will be global…

data and computing (software) are two sides of the same coin

G8+O6 working group on data infrastructures

White paper: 5 principles describing the benefits of a global data infrastructure.

Data is:• Discoverable – IDs, Descriptive Metadata, ...• Accessible – Acknowledgment, License, Terms of Use,

Intellectual Property, Legal ...• Understandable – Semantics, Analysis, Quality, Language

translation ....• Manageable – Responsibility, Costs, Preservation ...• People (Usable) - Workforce, Cultural, Training, ...

thinking aloud about data management plans

Important! look carefully at Horizon2020 guidelines

guidelines about the pilot on research data, DMPs, etc

to reap the rewards:

• Invest in infrastructure, then• Set the right policy, and thus• Exploit the current large

investment in data assets

Policy

Infrastructure

Off to Market!
