1 Facilitate Open Science Training for European Research Open access and research data management: Horizon 2020 and beyond University College Cork, April 14 th & 15 th 2015

2 Using existing institutional repository infrastructure to support RDM David McElroy, UEL

3 Developing data.uel Intro Horizon 2020 vs RCUK UEL motivation RCUK and Internal motivation UEL response - Research Data Services (RDS) Workshops & Website DMP online Building a data repository Getting Data Our first data

4 Introduction David McElroy: Cerif 4 Datasets (C4D) Project Officer at Glasgow Research Data Officer at University of Glasgow RDM Officer at University of East London So not much H2020 European experience..

5 H2020 vs RCUK H2020 Develop a DMP Deposit in a research data repository Made data accessible, freely to any user Provide info on tools/instruments needed to validate results RCUK All but one major funder mandates one at application (EPSRC doesn t require one but expect ones to be in place) Some funders have data centres, and expect a deposit (NERC, ESRC) Others stipulate a minimum preservation time (EPSRC 10 years from last access) Most funders expect data to be freely available (where possible) Source:

6 UEL motivation - RCUK Funder EPSRC (from 1st of May): Key points: Record all data created Describe how to access it Use DOIs Source:

7 UEL motivation Internal Research Data Service Mandate Library and Learning Services will develop by 1 May 2015 an infrastructure and support service for research data created in consultation with Schools and Services. This will include a portal for datasets which are suitable for sharing. Research data management policy. UEL, 2012

8 UEL response - Research Data Services Stephen Grace & David McElroy What we do: Workshops & Website Support (DMPonline) Repositories (ROAR & data.uel)

9 Workshops & Website Managing Your Research Data Writing a Data Management Plan Sharing and Archiving Your Research Data Using data.uel to Share Your Research Data Website recently uploaded (thereby hangs a tale...)

10 Support (DMPonline) DCC tool for creating Data Management Plans from templates Worked with the DCC to build UEL templates

11 DMPonline UEL PG plan

12 DMPonline UEL Staff plan

13 Building a Data Repository Research organisations will ensure that EPSRC-funded research data is securely preserved for a minimum of 10 years (EPSRC, Expectation VII) Developing data.uel Early Decisions Planning & Development Branding Timeline & Costs

14 Early Decisions UEL adopted RDM policy March 2012 Library & Learning Services (LLS) will create a register of datasets [and] a portal for datasets which are suitable for sharing Build on EPrints CKAN immature, DSpace/Fedora less well supported Already using EPrints with ROAR Separate repository to ROAR Not all data will be open access (ROAR is pure full text) Workflows differ, presuming researcher deposit Adapted and simplified ReCollect metadata with DataCite in mind Development by ULCC (back end) & UEL (presentation design)

15 Planning & Developing data.uel Functional Specifications Metadata Schema Mock-ups Relational Diagrams

16 Functional Specifications Excel spreadsheets describing: What we wanted Why we wanted it Who was responsible for doing it Technologies/plugins we wanted to use Datacite ORCiD Leeds have good ideas (which you can basically just copy..)

17 Functional Specifications Description of what we think we need Our reasoning for this. By including this we were able to take advantage of our developers knowledge. If there is a better way of doing something they let us know. Some aspects of development were shared. Above we were to provide the metadata profile

18 Metadata Schemas Research organisations will ensure that appropriately structured metadata describing the research data they hold is published and made freely accessible on the internet (EPSRC, Expectation V) Based on ReCollect and Datacite Only mandatory Datacite fields are mandatory in data.uel

19 Metadata Schemas - ReCollect Created by the UK Data project Part of an EPrints plugin which converts EPrints into a data repository Compliant with Datacite and INSPIRE metadata schemas Over 40 fields

20 Metadata Schemas - ReCollect

21 Metadata Schemas - Datacite Allows creation of permanent identifiers (DOI) Ireland doesn t seem to have a member.. British Library? (DRI are signed up with them anyway) Metadata Schema 20 Fields (some sub fields) 5 Mandatory fields

22 Metadata Schemas - Datacite

23 Metadata Schemas - UEL Use ReCollect Mandatory fields match Datacite (not ReCollect) Added more details (such as ORCiD)

24 Metadata Schemas - UEL

25 Mock-ups Clear indication of what we want Red numbers refer to spreadsheet detail

26 Mock-ups Spreadsheet linked to the Mock-up wireframes Full descriptions with HTML

27 Relational Diagrams How projects can be linked to data collections Potentially to each other over time

28

29 Branding - Look & Feel Developed in-house at UEL (with help from ULCC) Important to make the repositories feel like part of UEL Branding Single Sign On

30 Branding - Look & Feel

31 Branding - Look & Feel

32 Branding - Look & Feel Modern look and feel Branding matches with corporate look Distinct colour schemes for both ROAR and data.uel Seamless integration between both repositories

33 Timeline

34 Costs Core setup: 3 days EPrints installation, configuration, test repository Phase 1: 7 days Plugin installation & development, metadata Phase 2: 6 days Plugin updates & release, branding, testing Total: 16 days developer time

35 Getting Data What we offer Link your publication in ROAR to the data Archive and share data Collections (data and documentation), managed by LLS Open access for anyone Available on application to the data steward Listed but not available Description of (funded) Projects with data management plans where possible Assisted deposit we ll come and help you at every stage

36 Our First Data Large scale survey data International Tricky Documentation

37 Our First Data Large scale survey data International Tricky Documentation

38 Our First Data Large scale survey data International Tricky Documentation What went well? Very cooperative academics No rush What not so well Not completely ready to share.. Complicated consultations

39 Our First Data

40 Our First Data

41 Summary EPrints can work for data ULCC are a great software partner (and willing to work outside of the UK) Clear functional specification/metadata/mock-ups are important if you want a smooth development process Just because you build a data repository, data is unlikely to overwhelm you in a hurry
