1 DEVELOPING, ENABLING, AND SUPPORTING DATA AND REPOSITORY CERTIFICATION Plato Smith, Ph.D., Data Management Librarian DataONE Member Node Special Topics Discussion June 8, 2017, 2pm - 2:30 pm

2 ASSESSING DATA AND REPOSITORY NEEDS It will be difficult to improve your institutional infrastructure without an overall understanding of the data you currently hold and how researchers at your institution are managing their data. CARDIO v.2 (Collaborative Assessment of Research Data),

3 CERTIFICATION BODIES/STANDARDS (EXAMPLES) q Data Seal of Approval (DSA) data repository (2008) q DIN Standards Committee for Information and Documentation (NID) (1927) q International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (e.g. data, repository, services..) (1947) q Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) data and interoperability q World Data System (WDS) data services (2008)

4 DEFINITIONS q Certification The provision by an independent body of written assurance (a certificate) that the product, service or system in question meets specific requirements. q Accreditation The formal recognition by an independent body, generally known as an accreditation body, that a certification body operates according to international standards. International Organization for Standardization,

Data Owners (Data Producers) I. Responsible for appropriately classifying data. II. Responsible for the quality of the digital research data (DSA). 3. Data Custodians (Data Curators) I. Responsible for labeling data with appropriate classifications and applying required and suggested safeguards. II. Data repository is responsible for the quality of storage and availability of the data: data management (DSA). 4. Data Users (Data Consumers) I. Responsible for complying with data use requirements. II. Responsible for immediately referring requests for public records to appropriate data governance authority.

10 CRITERIA, CERTIFICATION, & STANDARDS (EXAMPLES) 1. Data Seal of Approval (DSA) à Trustworthy Data Repository Requirements 2. World Data System (WDS) à Data and Services - Certification 3. DSA-WDS Partnership Working Group à Catalogue of Common Requirements 4. Criteria for trustworthy digital archives à DIN Trusted Digital Repository (TDR) àiso 16363:2012 Audit and certification of trustworthy digital repositories 6. Trusted Repositories Audit & Certification: Criteria and Checklist àoais/iso 17421:2012 Open archival information system (OAIS) Reference model

11 CRITERIA, CERTIFICATION, & STANDARDS (CONT.) The 16 Data Seal of Approval requirements are based on the following criteria: The data can be found on the Internet The data are accessible (clear rights and licenses) The data are in a usable format The data are reliable The data are identified in a unique and persistent way so that they can be referred to Data Seal of Approval (2017) Source:

12 CRITERIA, CERTIFICATION, & STANDARDS (CONT.) q Key principles in international standards development (International Organization for Standardization (ISO)): Ø Standards respond to a need in the market Ø Standards are based on global expert opinion Ø Standards are developed through multi-stakeholder process Ø Standards are based on consensus Source #1: q Community standards (Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)): Ø Serve to bring de facto standards from the larger geospatial community to be a stable reference point Ø Serve to bring new, but implemented, standards to the OGC to form the basis for further development Source #2:
