13. NOADs role
Dissemination – WP 2
Reinforce and expand your network
Encourage deposition!
Encourage involvement in training and support
Local advocates for Open Access and linked data
Mobilise

14. WP 2 Networking - Dissemination
Aligning national and European scholarly publication
and data initiatives
Awareness among stakeholders
– Liaison and international outreach, Work with
EuroCRIS, DataCITE, DANS, EBI, STFC/BADC,…
– Cooperate with scientific communities to
investigate and experiment with the concept of
linking publications and associated datasets
Produce studies on copyright/licensing
Identify sustainability/financing models

15. WP4 Networking – Helpdesk
Active participation of NOADs
Content themes extended from OpenAIRE
– Copyright, disciplinary issues, enhanced
publications, data repository, sustainability
As other WPs develop, topics will be enriched to
show advantages of Open Access

16. Extending OpenAIRE...
Service Activities:
– A quality service infrastructure for the
population, curation, and access of the Integrated European
Research Information Space of Open Access publications-
projects-datasets;
– Helpdesk services supporting researchers towards meeting
the demands of the EC Open Access
Joint Research Activities:
– Data models and functionalities supporting
management, discovery and visualization of links between
publications and datasets (metadata about datasets)
– OpenAIREplus Orphan repository to offer deposition and
Web publishing for datasets

17. An „Enhanced publication“
Before, data was embedded within a publication
e.g a static graph or table
Today, researchers would like to use some of that
data, and re-use it in computer readable form.
It would help if the researcher could have it in
reusable form, or link to it
For example…..

21. Some issues with data
Data infrastructure is being defined
Public data, in open domain, not copyrighted
Publishers –
– Data doesnt belong to them, in fact they are
happy to co-operate with re-use and linking of
data
No financial gain from data!

22. Reasons for sharing and re-use of
data
Re-use and recognition, impact factor
Principles of science
Requirements of funding organisations
Journal data availability

23. Sharing data
Sharing data is good…encourages innovation
Richer European information space
63% researchers would like to use others‘ data

24. Weak culture of sharing data
Reasons for reluctance:
– Legal issues: 41%,
– Misuse 41%,
– Data compatibility 33%

25. Some thorny data issues
Heterogenous datasets,
– highly discipline specific, bespoke formats
– fit for re-use?
– format ingest?
Licensing and IPR issues – not defined
Data integrity – is the data authentic
Business models – not defined
