These slides are from a half-day workshop run on Monday 20 February 2017 at the International Digital Curation Conference 2017 (IDCC17) on “Demonstrating the Value and Impact of Research Data Services”.
It provides the latest overview of research findings and tools for assessing the benefits, costs, and return on investment of research data curation.
The workshop organisers were Neil Beagrie and Daphne Charles (Charles Beagrie Ltd) and Mike Priddy (DANS) and the Consortium of European Social Science Archives (CESSDA).
At the workshop attendees learnt from Neil Beagrie and Mike Priddy about how to apply the Cost-Benefit Advocacy Toolkit, the Capability Development Model, and the Archive Development Canvas (a variant of the Business Model Canvas) developed by the CESSDA Strengthening and Widening Project (CESSDA-SaW). Although the CESSDA-SaW project work focuses on the social sciences, core elements are multi-disciplinary and relevant to a wide range of organisations at IDCC involved in development, funding, and advocacy for research data infrastructures and open access for data.
CESSDA-SaW is a project funded by the Horizon 2020 programme. Its principal objective is to develop the maturity of data archive services that are aspiring to be, or are a part of the CESSDA community of social science data archives in a coherent and deliberate way towards the vision of a comprehensive, distributed and integrated social science data research infrastructure, facilitating access to social science data resources for researchers regardless of the location of either researcher or data. As part of the project, we have been developing the Cost-Benefit Advocacy Toolkit, the Capability Development Model, and the Archive Development Canvas to assist data archive services.
The expected learning outcomes from the workshop were that all attendees would:
• Understand the purpose of CESSDA-SaW, the Toolkit, Capability Development Model, and the Archive Development Canvas;
• Understand what is specific to social science, to different funding regimes, or maturity of services;
• Know the main findings from the desk research on the Toolkit and key lessons learnt;
• Understand economic approaches such as Return on Investment, other key arguments for Value, how it has been calculated, and why the counter-factual and “cost of inaction” are important;
• Understand how to use the Capability Development Model to undertake a self-assessment;
• Know what outputs will be available from CESSDA-SaW and how they might use them.
Presentation on the Value and Impact of Social Science Data Archives and the CESSDA SaW Toolkit
A set of 38 slides used for the Focus Group Cost-Benefit Funding Advocacy Program (Task 4.6) session at the CESSDA Saw Workshop in The Hague 16/17 June 2016.
This was an interactive focus group repeated over two parallel sessions. It was aimed at European social science data archive staff with responsibility for bidding for funding or promotion and advocacy of the archive to key stakeholders.
The presentation covers some of the key ideas on how the CESSDA Saw funding advocacy toolkit will be structured, its components, and key facts and approaches it will include.
We expect the cost-benefit funding advocacy toolkit under development to support the negotiation with ministries and funding organisations across Europe.
The results of the toolkit user requirements survey with responses from 24 European social science archives were presented and discussed, together with suggested approaches and content for the toolkit. 22 people attended the two sessions overall, representing a mix of countries at different stages on the development path for social science archives (none, new/emerging, mature). There was strong interest and support for the emerging toolkit together with open discussion of how it can be applied in the specific political and administrative context of different European countries.
The slide set presented here is an extended version including a number of hidden background/ reference slides not used in the presentation. The focus group is one of a series guiding further development of the toolkit and its adoption being given to either: (a) social science data archive staff or (b) their key stakeholders (senior management in their universities, research councils and academies, funding ministries, national statistics offices, research users and depositors).
CESSDA is the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives. The CESSDA SaW project “Strengthening and widening the European infrastructure for social science data archives” is funded by the European Commission as part of its Horizon2020 programme.

This presentation gives an overview of European Commission policies and initiatives aiming to promote open access to scientific information in the European Research Area (ERA). In this policy area, the Commission acts both as a policymaking and as a funding body. As policymaker, it defines policies within the context of European research and ICT policy. As a funding body, it lays down rules on access to the results of the research it funds within the Framework Programme for research development. This contribution introduces the European Commission's general approach regarding access to scientific information, presents specific initiatives in the field of open access to peer-reviewed scientific publications, and develops a first approach to open access to data.

5. • Vision is now as clear to external
stakeholders as it is internally.
• Single online platform where all
European researchers will be able to:
• Find, access and re-use data
produced by other scientists.
• Deposit, analyse and share data
they have been paid to produce.
• Initially (until 2020), the EOSC will
build on existing investments, no/little
fresh money is needed
• The Commission provides top-up
money to set up and organise the
federation and to start creating
common European resources.
• EOSC will provide 1.7m EU researchers an
environment with free, open services for data storage,
management, analysis and re-use across disciplines.
• EOSC will JOIN existing and emerging horizontal and
thematic data infrastructures, bridging todays
fragmentation and ad-hoc solutions.
• EOSC will add value (scale, data-driven science, inter-
disciplinarity, faster innovation) and leverage past
infrastructure investment (10b per year by MS, two
decades EU investment).

HL Expert Group on the EOSC sees a need for a federated model with clear Rules of
Engagement for the access & services and frames the EOSC as the EU contribution to a
future global Internet of FAIR Data and Services underpinned by open protocols;
EOSC Summit (12 June 2017) concluded with the EOSC Declaration with 33 high level
statements covering all areas of implementation of the EOSC: FAIR, architecture, services
and governance (70 signatures so far) with a need for a stakeholder-driven, federated
model of implementation;
Key European e-Infrastructures position papers support the principles in the EOSC
Declaration;
Consultation on the Long Term Sustainability of ESFRI infrastructures:
interoperability, common services, policies and open data obligations as top requirements to
improve data management, better exploiting data and facilitating reuse of research data;
Studies stress a need for a policy lead in the initial stage (strategic orientations and long-
term public funding); a multi-layer & multi-stakeholder governance framework with clear
institutional, operational and scientific advisory roles and a clear business model and stress
the importance of the definition of the initial services and cost optimisation via synergies.

Federation of ESFRI projects in the EOSC (INFRAEOSC-04-2018), WP 2018-2020.
The federating core - EOSC shared resources (FAIR data tools, specifications, catalogues
and standards, and services) plus a compliance framework (incl. the Rules of Participation).
Starting with the initial shared resources around the EOSC-hub project, the EOSC Portal
and a catalogue of data infrastructures and services (as per Work Programme).
Arriving at a single, coherent access channel to EOSC services at European level that
meets researchers’ needs for data sharing, management and computing.
This process of federation of resources would be implemented gradually, based on
simple guidelines consistent with existing good practices.

26. EOSC shared resources - FAIR data tools, specifications, catalogues and
standards, and services to be used by all researchers, implemented by all data
infrastructures and mandated by research funders; covering all FAIR aspects.
The process for defining shared resources across disciplines and countries should
be staged, iterative and flexible: (1) take stock and collect current
tools/practices, (2) analyse and streamline, and (3) agree, catalogue, certify and
implement as part of the EOSC Shared resources and EOSC rules.
Its success will depend on the combination with other measures:
Developing a better culture of research data management and practical
skills among scientists and innovators, including incentives, rewards and
curricula
Stimulating the demand for FAIR data through consistent FAIR data
mandates and incentives by research funders and institutions

27. E. EOSC model/ services for European
researchers
A researcher will find five types of services in the EOSC:
1. Identification and authentication, and an access point and routing system
towards the resources of the EOSC
2. A protected & personalised work environment/space (e.g. logbook,
settings, compliance record and pending issues)
3. Access to relevant information (e.g. status of EOSC, list of infrastructures,
policy-related information, compliance framework) and specific guidelines (e.g.
how to make data FAIR, certify a repository or service, procure joint services)
4. Services to find, access, store, re-use and analyse (e.g. analytics, data
merge/fusion, mining) the data generated by others, catalogued appropriately
5. Services to make their own data FAIR, to store them and ensure long-term
preservation
Researchers would NOT have to pay for most services under 1, 2, 3 & 4, but
may need co-funding via a grant or other mechanism for services under 4 & 5
(especially when big data is involved, customization required or great computation
power). 27
Services
28. E. EOSC model/access & interface
A user should have the choice between different entry points for accessing EOSC
services, for practical reasons and to ensure a smooth transition from legacy systems.
These different entry points to the EOSC should be similar but not equivalent, all
consisting of:
a web-based user interface / front-end, tailored to the specific needs and
context of particular user communities, including individual data
infrastructures. These entry points would need to comply with a set of
minimum requirements.
a common platform (building on the "EOSC Hub" project and further
developed in the INFRAEOSC-06-2020a call) or back-end, offerings
access to all EOSC shared resources (cf. data pillar) and to the full range of
EOSC services via machine-to-machine interfaces.
By default, EOSC services should be accessible via the EOSC portal, which should
act as a universal entry point for all potential users via a full-fledged user interface,
irrespective of geographic location or scientific affiliation.

29. o The rules of participation define the rights, obligations and accountability of the various EOSC
actors (notably data producers, service providers, data/service users) against:
agreed tools, specifications, catalogues and standards (‘EOSC shared resources’) and
applicable methodologies (framework for FAIR research data)
adopted principles for regulating transactions in the EOSC (e.g. financial mechanisms
and procedures, agreements/bylaws established by the EOSC governance framework)
applicable legal frameworks (e.g. GDPR, copyright rules, Data Security and Cybercrime,
dispute resolution and redress mechanisms, e-commerce directive)
o Differentiating the rules to different EOSC actors taking into account:
The specificities of different scientific disciplines
The diversity and level of readiness of infrastructures and services at discipline, MS
and EU level (RIs, eInfras) and the differences in their established rules and processes
The variety of service providers and users that will be involved in the EOSC (e.g. public
vs private; horizontal vs specialised)
Changing needs and practices regarding the implementation of the rules, in particular
concerning compliance with existing legal frameworks (e.g. GDPR) and emerging ones
(e.g. free flow of data)

30. Staged approach in setting governance:
Phase 1 (<end 2020): steering and overseeing the initial EOSC development,
primarily led by MS and EC, with stakeholders consulted and advising
Phase 2 (>2020): (following a thorough evaluation) steering and overseeing
initial EOSC operations and further development, largely stakeholder-driven, with
MS/EC keeping a higher-level oversight role
Guiding principles for 1st phase, supported by EOSC Declaration:
Separation between advisory role, decision-making and implementation
Stakeholders (mainly) advise, propose and implement, while funders (MS/EC)
(mainly) set orientations and endorse proposals,
Low intervention cost, light mechanisms, high accountability
Any proposal for governance in 2nd phase would be included in FP9 proposal

34. The costs will be marginally higher that resources already earmarked by Member States
and the Commission in support for responsible data management
Need for a proper baseline, which is the projection of the costs of the current situation:
the current running costs of research data infrastructures and data management across Europe
costs of aligning, federating and integrating research data infrastructures at a national level
and/or at the level of individual disciplines.
Cost of making data FAIR
The real cost of EOSC - of ensuring that these upgrades happen in a coordinated and
consistent way at European level
Initially a cost (but should be seen as an investment). Costs are expected to vary, depending
on the existing readiness of data infrastructures at various MS.
Later on – operational cost savings as economies of scale and scope occur.

35. F. Financing of the EOSC: staged approach
In Phase 1, until 2020:
the Commission will invest EUR 300 million to support the core
functions of the EOSC as per milestones
Member States would flag the national initiatives that they want to
federate into the EOSC (e.g. the work of the Helmholz Data
Alliance); and the resources they are willing to provide in kind;
Research funders would start making costs eligible for FAIR data
only.
In Phase 2, after 2020, the activities of the EOSC could be financed by a mix
of funding including possibly deposit fees from national funders
The Governance Framework would produce a full cost estimate for the
running of the EOSC in Phase 1; based on this, it will prepare a financial
prospect for Phase 2, addressing scalability and legacy.
