OpenMRBenelux 2019

DANS is about keeping data FAIR

Institute of Dutch Academy and Research

Funding Organisation

(KNAW & NWO) since 2005

First predecessor dates back to

1964 (Steinmetz Foundation),

Historical Data Archive 1989

Mission: promote and

provide permanent

access to digital research resources

DANS core data services

NARCIS: Gateway to scholarly information In the Netherlands

DANS core data services

DataverseNL for short / intermediate term storage (including RDM during research)

EASY: long-term Electronic Archiving System for self-deposit

Training by DANS

In the context of many H2020 projects…

At the national level…

DANS is sharing and gaining expertise through projects

• Open Science has become a policy priority: not only publications need to be openly accessible, but also other research outputs (data, software)

• Research funders and institutes increasingly require researchers to describe how they deal with data in a “Data management Plan” (DMP)

• Principle: open if possible, protected if necessary• Legitimate restrictions to openness:

• to protect privacy• data creator must be able to publish first

• Openness itself is not enough, data must also be:• Findable F• Accessible A• Interoperable I• Reusable R

Open Science Movement

To find your way through the publications & data forest….

Catalogues like NARCIS are finding tools ….

Open science in Europe….

https://www.eosc-portal.eu

EuropeanOpen ScienceCloud

Started in 2015 with the idea of Open Innovation, Open Science and Open to the World.

272 M€ H2020 budget

Open science in Europe….

EOSC intends to ‘interlink people, data, services and trainings, publications, projects and organisations across borders and scientific disciplines’

doi:10.2777/112658

Minimum Viable Ecosystem (MVE) of the EOSC:

only if some basic technical, political and human resources conditions are met. From a technical perspective, interoperable services and open data must be guaranteed……

Open science is not something new (as are FAIR data…)

Global Biodiversity Information System (GBIF)

+15 years old international network for open biodiversity data

Lessons learned:- Strength of distributed networks with central

portal- Technology versus capacity building (technology

should not be leading)- The dos and don’ts of developing standards- FAIR data avant la lettre- …….

Possibilities to finance your data storage requirements

Open Science in the (MR) Data Life Cycle

CESSDA Data Management Expert Guide: cessda.eu/DMEG- Provides information on Research Data Management - For Social Sciences but also covers general topics- Includes a Data Management Checklist

Open Science in the (MR) Data Life Cycle

Open Science in the (MR) Data Life Cycle

MR specific issues- Large files - Different types of data belonging together- Data has formats that (can) require specific software

Plan

Planning your research.

Points of attention:- If you use existing data remember to check the conditions- Budget costs for storing and archiving data

For your Data management Plan (DMP) consider:• The DTL / ELIXIR Data Stewardship Wizard• DMPonline• easyDMP• …..

Organize & Document

How do you document and organize data?

Points of attention:- How do you organize files that belong together?- How do you name your files?- How to describe your data so others understand?- Use existing metadata-standards

- Brain Imaging Data Structure Specification (BIDS)- RDA metadata directory- FAIRsharing search page

Process

How do you process your data?

Points of attention:- What different file types will you use?

- Can they be converted into other (open) formats?- Do they need additional software?

- How do you version your data?

Store

What about storage, backup and security?

Points of attention:- What is your institute policy?- Does your institute have the facilities you need?- Who is allowed to access the data?

Protect

What are ethical and legal considerations?

Points of attention:- Gain informed consent from your participants

- Include data sharing!- Minimize the amount of personal data

- remove facial features- avoid storing names, date of birth, etc.

Archive & Publish

How do you archive and publish your data?

Points of attention:- Check out where your data can be published

- Consider size and format of the data- Is a repository trustworthy?

- What happens to your data?- Where is it stored?

Discover

How can you find data to reuse?
