SHARE is a free, open dataset of research activity across the research workflow supported by free, open source tools.

The OSF is a free, open source workflow management, integration, and sharing platform.

Public good

● A commodity or service that is provided without profit to all members of a society, either by the government or a private individual or organization. (Oxford)

● A good that is both non-excludable and non-rivalrous in that individuals cannot be effectively excluded from use and where use by one individual does not reduce availability to others. (Wikipedia)

Openness fosters inclusivity, collaboration, and innovation.

Scaling

3^0 = 1

3^1 = 3

3^3 = 9

3^7 = 21873^6 = 7293^5 = 2433^4 = 813^3 = 93^1 = 33^0 = 1

How to achieve efficient scaling

● Engage broadly (and allowing others to engage broadly)● Facilitate experts being experts

○ Especially as force multipliers--make others more efficient

● Facilitate (unknown) innovations

By

● Respecting current incentives and current workflows● Allowing people to be selfish● Creating virtuous cycles● Reusing/repurposing modular, open infrastructure● Crediting

OSF can integrate rather than append expertise to the research workflow.

SHARE can engage local experts to curate descriptions of the research workflow.

Data Curation Network

Planning a network of expertise model for curating research data in academic libraries

The Data Curation Network project is supported by a grant from the ALFRED P. SLOAN FOUNDATION.

2016-2017

Rise of a data sharing cultureResearchers are increasingly required/incentivised to share data● Funder data sharing mandates● Journal data sharing policies● Disciplinary practices → emphasis on transparency and reproducibility

Data repositories: it’s not enough to just keep the files!

Goal of data curation ⇒ Prepare and maintain research data in ways that make it findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR),

Data curation = metadata, documentation, access, preservation, and more...


Data curation activities


● Code review● Contextualize● Documentation● Embargo● File Format Transformations● Persistent Identifier● Quality Assurance● Use Analytics● Versioning● Data Citation● Deidentification

● File Audit● File Inventory or Manifest● File validation● Metadata● Metadata Brokerage● Rights Management● Risk Management● Terms of Use● Peer-review● Technology Monitoring and Refresh

Challenge for institutional data curation services

How to scale data curation services across all disciplines?

Multiple data curation experts are needed to effectively curate the diverse data types an institution typically generates.

Data curation expertise needed: - File format-- GIS, spreadsheet/tabular, statistical/survey, software code,

video/audio, images/3D, simulations...- Discipline-specific-- genomic sequence, chemical spectra, biological image... - Frequency-- Centers of excellence, departmental concentration




The Data Curation Network will enable academic institutions to better support researchers that are faced with a growing number of requirements to ethically

share their research data.

Kirchner, Joy, Jose Diaz, Geneva Henry, Susan Fliss, John Culshaw, Heather Gendron, and Jon E. Cawthorne. “The Center of Excellence Model for Information Services.” Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), February 2015.

Our Vision for the Next 3-5 Years


1. Develop standards-driven data curation techniques for all types of repository workflows and infrastructure.

2. Expand into a sustainable entity that grows beyond our initial six partner institutions.

3. Datasets curated by the Data Curation Network will be used to advance research and education in ways that are measurably of greater reuse value than non-curated data.

4. Build an innovative community that enriches capacities for data curation writ large.

Planning the Data Curation Network


(Current) Planning phase, supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to:● Develop a Data Curation Network ‘model of expertise’ for data curation staff

that includes the projected staffing, costs, skills sets, and demand necessary for implementation.

(Future) Pilot phase will ● Test the model across our six institutions● Plan for how to grow and sustain the Network


Draft Model for the Data Curation Network

Our Planning Phase activity to date✓ Summer → Assessed infrastructure/policy/workflow differences and monitor

the demand across institutions. Baseline report.

● Just completed Oct/Nov 2016 → Seek input from researchers to better understand how data curation services fit into their research workflow (focus groups).

● Jan 2017 → ARL Spec Kit survey on library data curation activities.

● Spring 2017 → Develop financial/governance models. Share our draft Data Curation Network model with stakeholders for feedback.
