The most valuable information in
modern world is the information to

Raw research data:
● in a digital form
● with correct, comprehensive
and widely available metadata
● widely available or available
on request
How to read raw data set?
How to describe them?
Where to store them?

Should these questions
be addressed to librarians?

Toruń University’s open access data project
●
partners: University Library and the Centre for
Astronomy, which has very broad digital knowledge
● the selected data is “safe” - project concerns
historical observations of the sky belonging to the
Centre for Astronomy
●
the data is archived – there is no embargo or other
form of access restriction in time and space
Repozytorium surowych danych
astronomicznych online –
Repository of raw astronomical
data online
● 348 000 zł (ca. 80 000 euro)

spectroscopic database derived from
observations conducted at Astronomical
Observatory in Piwnice from 1949 to 1993

Henry Draper's telescope was brought
to Piwnice from the Harvard College
Observatory in 1947. Observer: Cecylia
Iwaniszewska
Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope
was constructed in the optical
factory in Jena and mounted in
1962 in Piwnice. The main mirror
has diameter of 90cm.

The plate CCS 0191 was taken
with Schmidt-Cassegrain
Telescope observing with a slit
spectrograph in 1975.
Plate 1625 taken with
Schmidt-Cassegrain
Telescope observing with
a prism in 1969

The paper sleeve for the storage of the plates
The whole collection contains 12,000 plates
taken between 1949 and 1993
●
create initial metadata
● verification of the data and metadata
● standards in astronomy – European Virtual Observatory
http://www.euro-vo.org/ and International Virtual Observatory
Alliance http://www.ivoa.net/ creates the standards
●
saving images and format – astronomical images are store in FITS
format. The present scanned images are in tiff format
● the data will be available via an access server on Virtual
Observatory and stored on dedicated server at Toruń Center for
Astronomy and also at AstroGrid-PL platform (Polish project) and
Virtual Observatory platform (European project)

Library can help in projects of raw
research data
●
serve as an information center for authors of the
raw data and potential customers who look for this
type of data,
●
coordinate such projects,
●
show hesitant researchers the meaning of the
dissemination activities,
●
suggest to the researchers possibilities and
benefits of widely accessible form of their research
data, and show them how to process it.
How to start?
● check who gathers and collects research data
●
contact researchers and ask if they need the help of
librarians
●
discuss what researchers expect. How a library can
help them?
● start the collaboration and take the first steps towards
the realization of their needs for raw research data
How exactly libraries can help?
● prepare the project of raw research data together with researchers, determine
whether this type of data already exists, where they are stored, what the availability
conditions are,
● show or find repository (global or local) to storage special kind of data,
● consider what is a better solution: own new local repository, or a ready-made
solution e.g. global repositories which allow to join the international community.
Perhaps the existing repositories are not ideal, but it is ready and we do not have to
create another one, which is a rather expensive task,
● create and implement a new platform for raw data (with a support of IT section),
● check if any standards exist (metadata description, form of data),
● take into account recommendations of the European Union – some EU projects
suggest or require that raw date should be available,
● take into account tests of data sharing in Horizon 2020,
● define the range of availability conditions – take into account regulations, contracts,
law issue, special kind of agreement, protection of personal data (typical problem
for sociologists), perhaps a private company sponsors research, perhaps an
embargo is in force, etc.
● if the data is not born-digital, take into account preservation of analogue forms of
data (astronomical glass plates, maps, images, research reports, etc.). Have the
institutions got enough good storage condition, enough room? Maybe the material
should be passed to a library, to a museum, to archives?
Thank you

  • 10. Toruń University’s open access data project ● partners: University Library and the Centre for Astronomy, which has very broad digital knowledge ● the selected data is “safe” - project concerns historical observations of the sky belonging to the Centre for Astronomy ● the data is archived – there is no embargo or other form of access restriction in time and space
  • 11. Repozytorium surowych danych astronomicznych online – Repository of raw astronomical data online ● 348 000 zł (ca. 80 000 euro) ● 01.04.2016 – 30.12.2017 The publicly available photometric and spectroscopic database derived from observations conducted at Astronomical Observatory in Piwnice from 1949 to 1993 Toruń

  • 16. The whole collection contains 12,000 plates taken between 1949 and 1993
  • 17. ● create initial metadata ● verification of the data and metadata ● standards in astronomy – European Virtual Observatory http://www.euro-vo.org/ and International Virtual Observatory Alliance http://www.ivoa.net/ creates the standards ● saving images and format – astronomical images are store in FITS format. The present scanned images are in tiff format ● the data will be available via an access server on Virtual Observatory and stored on dedicated server at Toruń Center for Astronomy and also at AstroGrid-PL platform (Polish project) and Virtual Observatory platform (European project) Work in progress

  • 23. Is there a place here for library?
  • 24. Project team Toruń Centre for Astronomy ● Michał Hanasz – project manager ● Dominik Wóltańsk – astronomer, member of AstroGrid.pl team ● Bogdan Wikierski – observer, technician at TCfA ● PhD students from TcfA ● University Library ● Bożena Bednarek-Michalska – project manager ● Liliana Lewandowska – project administration ● Conservation Departement ● Elżbieta Milkiewicz – preservation ● Karolina Zawada – project promotion
  • 25. Library can help in projects of raw research data ● serve as an information center for authors of the raw data and potential customers who look for this type of data, ● coordinate such projects, ● show hesitant researchers the meaning of the dissemination activities, ● suggest to the researchers possibilities and benefits of widely accessible form of their research data, and show them how to process it.
  • 26. How to start? ● check who gathers and collects research data ● contact researchers and ask if they need the help of librarians ● discuss what researchers expect. How a library can help them? ● start the collaboration and take the first steps towards the realization of their needs for raw research data
  • 27. How exactly libraries can help? ● prepare the project of raw research data together with researchers, determine whether this type of data already exists, where they are stored, what the availability conditions are, ● show or find repository (global or local) to storage special kind of data, ● consider what is a better solution: own new local repository, or a ready-made solution e.g. global repositories which allow to join the international community. Perhaps the existing repositories are not ideal, but it is ready and we do not have to create another one, which is a rather expensive task, ● create and implement a new platform for raw data (with a support of IT section), ● check if any standards exist (metadata description, form of data), ● take into account recommendations of the European Union – some EU projects suggest or require that raw date should be available, ● take into account tests of data sharing in Horizon 2020, ● define the range of availability conditions – take into account regulations, contracts, law issue, special kind of agreement, protection of personal data (typical problem for sociologists), perhaps a private company sponsors research, perhaps an embargo is in force, etc. ● if the data is not born-digital, take into account preservation of analogue forms of data (astronomical glass plates, maps, images, research reports, etc.). Have the institutions got enough good storage condition, enough room? Maybe the material should be passed to a library, to a museum, to archives?
