Open Science and the Janet Network

2. Open Science
Janet Network architecture 2
It needs:
» Shared resources
› Integrated, easy and fair access
» Engaged communities
› Participating in the process
› Collaborating in the management and stewardship
» Governance
› Rules to access/exclude
› Rules to resolve conflicts
» Financial support
› For long-term availability
Opening of the creation and dissemination of scholarly knowledge towards a
multitude of stakeholders, from professional researchers to citizens

4. Open Science Policy
» G8 Science Ministers Statement on Open
Research Data - London UK, 12 June 2013
» To the greatest extent and with the fewest
constraints possible publicly funded scientific
research data should be open, while at the
same time respecting concerns in relation to
privacy, safety, security and commercial
interests, whilst acknowledging the legitimate
concerns of private partners.
» Open scientific research data should be easily
discoverable, accessible, assessable,
intelligible, useable, and wherever possible
interoperable to specific quality standards
» Concordat on Open Research Data – July
2016
» Ten principles including:
› Importance of developing data skills
› Importance of ensuring data underlying
publications is accessible by publication
date
› Rights of data creators to reasonable first
use
› Expectations of data users to acknowledge
use of others’ data

5. European Cloud Initiative
» to develop a trusted, open
environment for the scientific
community for storing, sharing and
re-using scientific data and results:
the European Open Science Cloud
» to deploy the underpinning super-
computing capacity, the fast
connectivity and the high-capacity
cloud solutions they need via
the European Data Infrastructure

Meeting Open Science:
Bringing Open Access and
Data together
e.g.
Developing Sherpa Services to
meet whole range of Open
Science Policies;
Extending IRUS to data;
Extending RDSS to OA;
Developing a shared data model,
meeting needs of universities,
researchers and funders etc.

10. Jisc Safe Share Service
» A high assurance network overlay encrypted
to National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)
standards
» Standard router provision
» Router hardware maintenance
» Support for up to 100Mbit/s or up to 1 Gbit/s
bandwidth (depending on service slice)
» Router software maintenance, including
operating system upgrades, bug fixes and
security patches
» Installation of the router at your site
» Jisc security monitoring
» Fault reporting mechanisms integrated with
Janet connection fault reporting

11. Janet End-to-End Performance Initiative
» The goals include:
› Engaging with existing and data-intensive research communities and
identifying emerging communities
› Creating dialogue between Jisc, computing service groups, and research
communities
› Holding workshops, facilitating discussion on e-mail lists, etc.
› Helping researchers manage expectations
› Establishing and sharing best practices in identifying and rectifying causes of
poor performance
› Promoting good practices in campus network engineering, esp. ‘Science DMZ’
› grow a Research DataTransfer Zone (RDTZ) within and between campuses
› Promoting deployment of performance measurement tools, esp. perfSONAR
