Meeting the Research Data Management Challenge - Rachel Bruce, Kevin Ashley, ...Jisc
Universities and researchers need to be able to manage research data effectively to fulfil research funders requirements and ultimately to contribute to research excellence. UK universities are comparatively well advanced in what is a global challenge, but none the less there needs to be further advances in university policy, technical and support services. This session will share best practice in research data management and information about key tools that can help to develop university solutions; and it will also inform participants about the latest Jisc initiatives to help build university research data services and shared services.

2-6-14 ESI Supplemental Webinar: The Data Information Literacy ProjectDuraSpace
The document summarizes a webinar about the past, present, and future of the Data Information Literacy Project. The project aims to identify data literacy skills for different disciplines, build infrastructure for teaching those skills, and develop a toolkit for librarians. Case studies were conducted at 5 universities to determine data needs of students and faculty. Educational programs were developed and a symposium and toolkit are planned next. The project identifies 12 core data literacy competencies and aims to develop standards in this area.
A theory of digital library metadata : enrich then filter Getaneh Alemu
The document presents a theory of enriching digital library metadata through a social constructivist approach, then filtering it for users. It discusses limitations of current standards-based approaches and the need to incorporate socially constructed metadata. The theory is based on interviews with 57 librarians, students, and lecturers. It proposes separating metadata content enrichment, as a continuous process, from interface filtering. Enrichment should move from user-centered to user-driven and involve diverse metadata that better meets users' needs through seamless linking. The goal is "useful" rather than "perfect" metadata, with post-hoc user-driven filtering. The presenter provides an example of implementing this theory at Southampton Solent University Library.
Stereotype and most popular recommendations in the digital library SowiportJoeran Beel
Stereotype and most-popular recommendations are widely neglected in the research-paper recommender-system and digital-library community. In other domains such as movie recommendations and hotel search, however, these recommendation approaches have proven their effectiveness. We were interested to find out how stereotype and most-popular recommendations would perform in the scenario of a digital library. Therefore, we implemented the two approaches in the recommender system of GESIS’ digital library Sowiport, in cooperation with the recommendations-as-a-service provider Mr. DLib. We measured the effectiveness of most-popular and stereotype recommendations with click-through rate (CTR) based on 28 million delivered recommendations. Most-popular recommendations achieved a CTR of 0.11%, and stereotype recommendations achieved a CTR of 0.124%. Compared to a “random recommendations” baseline (CTR 0.12%), and a content-based filtering baseline (CTR 0.145%), the results are discouraging. However, for reasons explained in the paper, we concluded that more research is necessary about the effectiveness of stereotype and most-popular recommendations in digital libraries.
Enabling Data-Intensive Science Through Data InfrastructuresLIBER Europe

This document discusses the opportunities and challenges of open science and open data. It argues that openly sharing scientific data and findings has significant benefits, including enabling faster scientific progress, deterring fraud, and supporting citizen science. However, for data to be truly open and useful to others, it needs to be accessible, intelligible, assessable, and reusable. The document also examines the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders in working towards more open and reproducible science. This includes changing incentives for scientists, strategic funding for technical solutions from funders, and exploring how institutions like libraries and learned societies can help address the challenges of managing and making sense of the growing volume of research data.
The document discusses the vision and challenges of e-humanities, particularly in Germany. It outlines views from different academic disciplines on how digital tools and data-driven scholarship are developing. Key points include the potential of open access and data sharing, the heterogeneity of humanities data, and the need for international cooperation on standards and best practices. Challenges addressed include copyright issues, integrating new approaches into research, and rethinking roles and careers to support e-humanities.

Sarah Jones RDM from a disciplinary perspectiveJisc
This document discusses research data management from a disciplinary perspective. It begins with an overview of case studies on disciplinary practice from various sources. It then groups disciplines into Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, Sciences & Engineering, and Life Sciences. For each group, it discusses common practices, challenges, and examples. It also discusses a research data typology commissioned by RLUK to help librarians understand researchers' data needs and types of data across disciplines. Overall, the document provides a high-level overview of differences in research data management practices across broad disciplinary categories.
ALIAOnline Practical Linked (Open) Data for Libraries, Archives & MuseumsJon Voss
This document discusses practical applications of Linked Open Data (LOD) for libraries, archives, and museums. It describes how LOD allows these institutions to publish structured data on the web in ways that are interoperable and can be connected to other open datasets. Examples are given of how LOD is being used by various institutions to share metadata, images, and other cultural heritage assets on the web in open, machine-readable formats. The presenter argues that LOD represents a new paradigm that these cultural organizations should embrace to make their collections more accessible and useful on the web.

This document discusses the need for digital curation specialists in library settings to manage the growing volume of scholarly data and output. It recognizes that libraries have the skills and infrastructure to curate digital resources but will need new roles like digital curators, archivists, and data scientists. These roles require new training programs and concentrations in areas like data curation to develop specialists that can preserve, organize, and provide access to digital collections over the long term.

This document discusses open access to research data and peer review of data publications. It notes that as a first step, data underpinning journal articles should be made concurrently available in accessible databases. The Royal Society report in 2012 advocated for all science literature and data to be online and interoperable. Key issues in linking data to the scientific record are data persistence, quality, attribution, and credit. The document provides examples from astronomy of data reuse leading to new publications and cites a study finding poor reproducibility of ecological data sets over time as data availability declines. It outlines different levels of research data from raw to processed to published and discusses initiatives for open data publication and peer review.

This document summarizes a webinar presented by ORCID on integrating ORCID persistent identifiers with repositories like DSpace, Fedora, and VIVO. It discusses how ORCID helps disambiguate author identities and connect researcher works and metadata to external sources to better demonstrate research impact. The webinar presents how Notre Dame has integrated ORCID into its Hydra-powered institutional repository, CurateND, allowing users to create and link to ORCID IDs and share metadata between the systems. It outlines the architecture and benefits of the integration as well as plans to promote its adoption.
This document discusses several studies on user engagement in research data curation. It finds that institutional repositories for data were developed without input from researchers, leading to systems that did not meet researchers' needs. Barriers to open data sharing included concerns over commercial use and maintaining ownership. Successful data curation requires understanding disciplinary differences and developing trusted relationships with researchers through dialogue early in projects.
The document summarizes a pilot project at the University of Edinburgh to support the development of a UK Research Data Discovery Service. PhD interns engaged with researchers from various schools to describe and deposit research datasets in the university's systems to be harvested by the discovery service. Observations found mixed results across schools, with humanities researchers less comfortable sharing data due to copyright and reluctance to share interpretations. Other schools had established data repositories causing less interest in the university's system. Building research data management practices will require tailored approaches and more training over time.
This document discusses challenges with the current scientific publishing system and proposes a vision for next generation scientific publishing (NGSP). Some key problems include retractions due to misconduct, lack of reproducibility, and non-reusable data and methods. NGSP would feature transparent and computable data and methods, open annotation of narratives and objects, and no restrictions on text mining or remixing. It would move information more quickly and allow verification through an open, service-oriented system without walled gardens. Taking NGSP forward will require collaboration across stakeholders in research communications.

In order to be reused, research data must be discoverable.
The EPSRC Research Data Expectations* requires research organisations to maintain a data catalogue to record metadata about research data generated by EPSRC-funded research projects.
Universities are increasingly making research data assets available through repositories or other data portals.
The requirement for a UK research data discovery service has grown as universities become more involved in RDM and capacity develops.
This document discusses the Deep Carbon Observatory Data Science (DCO-DS) project. DCO-DS aims to provide semantic metadata and enable discovery of research from the Deep Carbon Observatory, a project studying carbon in the deep Earth. It involves integrating Drupal, CKAN, and VIVO to provide a community portal, data registration and storage, and a hub for discovering information about researchers, data, and publications. A key goal is assigning unique digital IDs to all people, organizations, datasets, and research products to enable linking and discovery across the systems. The document outlines the architecture and discusses future work around authentication, scaling, and integrating the different components.
Maths, Chemistry, Physics are very well suited for the Semantic Web, but very poorly represented. Here I show how valuable it can be and what (relatively little) needs to be dome
HIBERLINK: Reference Rot and Linked Data: Threat and RemedyPRELIDA Project
This document discusses reference rot in linked data and proposes remedies. It defines reference rot as occurring when links to web resources no longer point to the original content. Empirical evidence from analyses of journal articles and e-theses shows that over one third of references experience rot. Proposed remedies include a Hiberlink plug-in to enable proactive archiving, augmenting links with temporal context using the Missing Link approach, and a HiberActive system for repositories to actively archive references. The goal is to increase the chances of accessing referenced content over time by embedding archiving solutions into existing authoring and publishing workflows.
Advocating Open Access: Before, during and after HEFCENick Sheppard
Since “self-archiving” of research outputs was first mooted in the mid-1990s, initiatives towards “green” Open Access (OA) across the sector have met with generally limited success and coverage in institutional and subject repositories is generally cited at around 20-30%. However, since the Finch report in 2012 combined with OA policies from RCUK, also in 2012, and HEFCE the following year, there is little doubt that a tipping point of awareness has been reached. This session will aim to contextualise the HEFCE policy in the broader history of Open Access and present a case study of a non-research intensive University and how the repository manager has sought to liaise with academic support services in order to facilitate knowledge exchange across the University. - See more at: http://www.cilip.org.uk/events/open-access-advocacy#sthash.9YqReHt0.dpuf

European Research Funders and data sharing: an overview of current practicesDCC-info
This document provides an overview of data sharing policies and practices among European research funders. It finds that while many funders state a policy in support of open access to research data, fewer mandate sharing in repositories or monitor compliance. Common incentives for data sharing include guidance, tools and supported repositories, while rewards through additional funding or assessment are rare. Monitoring of data management plans and sharing is limited, occurring in only a few countries. The document discusses examples from the UK and other countries to identify best practices that could encourage data sharing while also building trust in repositories and services.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Procrustes
“a brigand who lived between Eleusis and
Athens. Having overcome his vic2ms he would
force them to lie down on a bed, or on one of
two beds; if they were too short, he would
hammer them out or rack them with weights to
fit the longer bed, if too
tall he would cut them to
fit the shorter. Theseus
disposed of him in like
manner.”
Oxford Classical Dic2onary
4. Oxford RDM Principles
• Modular
– Different business models for
different components
– May be extended (or reduced)
• Researcher-‐focused
– Caters for different disciplines and
working prac2ces
• Intra-‐ins2tu2onal
– Requires input from mul2ple support
departments and Academic Divisions
5. Humani2es research data
• Difficult to define what cons2tutes ‘data’
• Extremely diverse
• Value tends not to depreciate over 2me
• Tends to be compiled from exis2ng sources, not created from
scratch
– Frequently incomplete or inconsistent due to inconsistent sources
– Frequently par2al or specific according to research focus
– Frequently involves interpreta2on and assessment
• Some2mes not in op2mal format for analysis
• Life’s work – projects frequently build on earlier projects
• Hard to generalize!
• Many issues not restricted to the humani2es
6. Humani2es data formats
• 95% work with textual data
• 45% with images
• 48% use tables or spreadsheets
• 23% use rela2onal databases
• 6% use XML text mark-‐up

Based on 2012 Survey responses from researchers working with data:
7. Humani2es Data Research Prac2ces
• Least likely to conduct research as part of
a team
– idiosyncra2c prac2ces
– limited sharing of best prac2ce
• Least likely to be externally funded
• Least likely out of all academic divisions to
describe RDM as ‘essen2al’ to their
research (49%)
• Least likely to have deposited data in a
data repository
• Lowest awareness of Oxford’s RDM Policy
• 73% happy (at least in theory) to freely
share at least some of their research data
(2nd most open aper MPLS) 0% 50% 100%

As part of a
team, with our
research data
managed by the
team
As part of a
team, but each
member of the
team looks after
their own data
As an individual
Some of my
research is
undertaken as
part of a team,
but I also
conduct some
research
independently
Do you conduct your research as part
of a team or as an individual?
Based on 2012 Survey responses from researchers working with data:
8. Conclusions for the Ins2tu2on
• Humani2es researchers amongst hardest to reach
• Need to offer long-‐term cura2on
• Need to encourage cultural change through
training and support
– Par2cularly improving documenta2on and spreading
good prac2ce
• Few requirements unique to Humani2es, however
• Need to offer flexible RDM solu2ons
– whilst also focusing first on most widely shared
problems across disciplines
