1 Sharing research data globally and supporting re-use - Playing your part Leif Laaksonen /National Archive of Finland

2 Agenda items 1. European Open Science Cloud Reaching out to global dimensions through Research Data Alliance 2. European data e-infrastructure EUDAT B2Collaborative 3. Going to the Cloud through CSC (one example)

3 Challenging environment Science is neither national nor European but global ICT is a key component of the research process funding still a challenge Financing research is highly competitive and has it s challenges all the way between national and global funders there is no middle way! The Internet would have never become popular/employed without agreed standards Research is now very much about data create, store, preserve and re-use Is there a clear (funding) responsibility agreed on the axis national European global? Commercial service providers, mostly introduced through the Cloud services ESFRI Research Infrastructures and the e-infrastructure Reflection Group (e-irg) 3

4 Rapidly changing landscape - European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Competitiveness Council Conclusions, 29 May 2015 Strong support for the development of a European Open Science Cloud. o CALLS for action to remove obstacles to wide access to publicly funded research publications and underlying data. o WELCOMES the further development of a European Open Science Cloud that will enable sharing and re-use of research data across disciplines and borders, taking into account relevant legal, security and privacy aspects.

6 Global - RDA 6

7 Inspired by the Research Data Alliance (RDA) activities The current global research data landscape is highly fragmented, by disciplines or by domains, from oceanography, life sciences and health, to agriculture, space and climate. When it comes to cross-disciplinary activities, the notions of "building blocks" of common data infrastructures and building specific "data bridges" are becoming accepted metaphors for approaching the data complexity and enable data sharing. The Research Data Alliance (RDA) builds the social and technical bridges that enable open sharing of data. The RDA vision is researchers and innovators openly sharing data across technologies, disciplines, and countries to address the grand challenges of society. 7

8 What is RDA? RDA is an international organization focused on the development of infrastructure and community activities that reduce barriers to data sharing and exchange, and the acceleration of data driven innovation worldwide. With more than 3,200 members globally representing more than 100 countries, RDA includes data science professionals from multiple disciplines, including but not limited to academia, library sciences, earth science, astronomy and meteorology. RDA is building the social and technical bridges that enable open sharing of data to achieve its vision of researchers and innovators openly sharing data across technologies, disciplines, and countries to address the grand challenges of society.

9 What does RDA do? Members come together through self-formed, volunteer, focussed Working Groups, exploratory Interest Groups to exchange knowledge, share discoveries, discuss barriers and potential solutions, explore and define policies and test as well as harmonise standards to enhance and facilitate global data sharing. RDA members collaborate together regionally and with the global RDA community to tackle numerous infrastructure challenges related to: Reproducibility Data preservation Best practices for domain repositories Curriculum development Data citation Data type registries Metadata and so many more!

10 Why Join RDA? Individual RDA Member Benefits Contribute to acceleration of data infrastructure development Work and share experiences with collaborators throughout the world Access to extraordinary network of colleagues with various levels of experience, perspectives and practices Gain greater expertise in data science regardless of whether one is a student, early or seasoned career professional Enhance the quality and effectiveness of personal work and activities Improve one s competitive advantage professionally and positioning oneself for leadership within the broader research community Organizational RDA Member Benefits Provide an organizational perspective on the work of RDA and ability to influence RDA s direction Assist in implementation of RDA Outputs Participate in all RDA Organizational Forums Receive regular updates on the work of the RDA Attend Organizational Assembly meetings and vote on proposed policies for consideration by the RDA Council and for members of the Organizational Advisory Board Provide advice to the Council through the Organizational Advisory Board Be recognized on the RDA Website and at RDA Meetings as a supporter of data interoperability

11 Who Can Join RDA? Any individual or organization, regardless of profession or discipline, with an interest in reducing the barriers to data sharing and exchange and who agrees to RDA s guiding principles of: Openness Consensus Balance Harmonization Community-driven Non-profit and technology-neutral Membership is
