A SOLID START
Article 27.
(1) Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural lifeof the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific
advancement and its benefits.
(2) Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral andmaterial interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic
production of which he is the author.
Innovation Union is a Europe 2020 initiative
THE INNOVATION UNIONMEANS:
Attractive careers for researchersTraining of a high-standardImproved cross-border mobilityMore open access to research resultsEnhanced public-private collaborationFacilitated access to EU research and innovation programmes

COMMITMENT 20"The Commission will promote open access to the results ofpublicly funded research. It will aim to make open access to
publications the general principle for projects funded by the EUresearch Framework Programmes. The Commission will also
support the development of smart research information servicesthat are fully searchable and allow results from research projects
to be easily accessed." link

Recommendation on access to andpreservation of scientific information
DIGITAL AGENDA(a Europe 2020 Initiative)
Pillar I: Digital Single Market :aquis
Action 1: Simplifying pan-European licensing for online worksAction 2: Preserving orphan works and out of print worksAction 3: Open up public data resources for re-useAction 12: Review the EU data protection rules
Pillar VI: Enhancing digital literacy, skills and inclusion
TIMING THE POLICIESDEV ON NATIONAL LEVEL
There are two recommendations to be followed as nationalperformance with regards to knowledge dissemination (scholarly
communication included)Commission Recommendation on the management ofintellectual property in knowledge transfer activities andCode of Practice for universities and other public researchorganisations (2008)
Commission Recommendation of 17 July 2012on access to and preservation of scientificinformation
"inform the Commission by 15 July 2010 and every twoyears thereafter of measures taken on the basis of thisRecommendation, as well as their impact"
"Inform the Commission 18 months from thepublication of this Recommendation in theOfficial Journal of the European Union, andevery two years thereafter"

OPEN RESEARCH DATA PILOT A "NOVELTY"
The guidelines published in December last year state:
"A novelty in Horizon 2020 is the Open Research Data Pilotwhich aims to impove and maximize access to and re-use of
research data generated by project"
"A LIMITED PILOT ACTION ON OPEN ACCESSTO RESEARCH DATA"
"Participating projects will be required to develop a DataManagement Plan (DMP), in which they will specify what data
will be open"
WHAT IS A DMP?A DMP describes the data management life cycle for all data sets
that will be collected, processed or generated by the researchproject.
It is a document outlining how research data will be handledduring a research project, and even after the project is
completed, describing what data will be collected, processed orgenerated and following what methodology and standards,
whether and how this data will be shared and/or made open, andhow it will be curated and preserved.

DATA IS THE NEW OIL"Data is just like crude. It’s valuable, but if unrefined it cannot
really be used. It has to be changed into gas, plastic, chemicals, etcto create a valuable entity that drives profitable activity; so must
data be broken down, analyzed for it to have value."Clive Humby, ANA Senior marketer’s summit, Kellogg School
RAW DATA NOW!
Open DataEuropean Union Open Data Portal
★ Available on the web (whatever format) but with anopen licence, to be Open Data
★★ Available as machine-readable structured data (e.g.excel instead of image scan of a table)
★★★ as (2) plus non-proprietary format (e.g. CSV insteadof excel)
★★★★ All the above plus, Use open standards from W3C(RDF and SPARQL) to identify things, so that peoplecan point at your stuff
★★★★★ All the above, plus: Link your data to other people’sdata to provide context
Linked Data5stardata.info
WHAT IS OPEN DATA (EC)?"[...] geographical information, statistics, weather data, data from
publicly funded research projects, and digitised books fromlibraries"
"Overall economic gains from opening up this resource couldamount to €40 billion a year in the EU"
THE FUTURE: "€140 billion annually".
"a pan-European, participatory e-Infrastructure of Open AccessRepositories" - and this is OpenAIRE
Open data: An engine for innovation, growth and transparent governance
WHAT IS RESEARCH DATA (EC) - TAKE 1Definitions of research data vary, with some contributions
defining research data as potentially all data (including publicsector information), and some limiting it to data that is the
product of research.From the perspective of researchers, research data includes all
data from an experiment, study or measurement, includingmetadata and details on processing data.
For publishers, data linked to publications is part of thepublication.
Report of the European Commission Public Consultation on Open Research Data
WHAT IS RESEARCH DATA (EC) - TAKE 2'Research data' refers to information, in particular facts or
numbers, collected to be examined and considered and as a basisfor reasoning, discussion, or calculation. In a research context,
examples of data include statistics, results of experiments,measurements, observations resulting from fieldwork, survey
results, interview recordings and images.The focus is on research data that is available in digital form.

THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL BENEFITS OF BIG DATAVice-President of the European Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda
As Tim Berners-Lee said: "Data is a precious thing." [...] Quitesimply, knowledge is the engine of our economy. And data is its
fuel.
PSI DIRECTIVE...Article 5
Available formats1. Public sector bodies shall make their documents available inany pre-existing format or language, and, where possible and
appropriate, in open and machine-readable format together withtheir metadata. Both the format and the metadata should, in so
far as possible, comply with formal open standards.
Remember: PSI data may serve as part of the research data!
DATA STARTS ITS JOURNEY - COMMON CASE

"OpenAIREplus infrastructure will feature several knowledgediscovery modules for inferring relationships between entitiessuch as documents, datasets, authors, topics, funding sources,etc. Inferred relations will be persisted in the Graph Storage
Service (based on HBase distributed storage and Hadoopdistributed computing framework) and will be available as five-star Linked Open Data (see Figure 3) via a SPARQL end-point"
