The Integral Chain Approach Wouter Spek Brussels, 15 September 2009

Recording Research | Agenda o Once recorded | questions to be adressed o How is it used? o By whom? o For what purposes? o How is it protected? o How is it curated/preserved? o The researcher perspective !

Recording Research | Agenda  The Alliance  The system  | Positioning of data  The researcher profile  Take home message

The Integral Chain Approach The Alliance

Today vulcanologists still use the writing of Plinius Minor to discuss this eruption of the Vesuvius Plinius Major – Plinius Minor

We need to take action!

Threats | Opportunities Mind the Gap – Digital Preservation Coalition, 2006 Courtesy Professor Peter van der Spek – Erasmus Medical Centre

Objectives o To support the development of a sustainable European digital information infrastructure o To partner with national governments and European Commission o To collaborate with European Science Consortia o To initiate and facilitate strategic alliances between key stakeholders o To strengthen the role of European parties in worldwide collaboration

Justification o Science has changed in part because informatics has changed. o Research is generating rapidly increasing volumes of data… o … a diverse range of formats like images, data, publication… o New knowledge and know-how depend more and more on the ability to re-use and share data

Alliance members

Activities o Promote strategic agenda for European e-science infrastructure o Creating a stakeholders forum for interaction o Facilitate linkage between different scientific communities o Cross linking of networks o PARSE.insight

PARSE.insight o Insight into issues of Permanent Access to the Records of Science in Europe o Objective:  Develop a roadmap and recommendations for building the e-Science infrastructure in order to maintain long-term access and use of scientific digital information in Europe

Clear message needed

 Do not isolate the data!  Systems approach | ‘Think global, act local’  Research output  Valuation of data | Money = data  Investment | Return on Investment (r.o.i.)  Researcher | track record & reputation  Management & Organisation  TRMs  Unmet needs  USPs Achilles heel | Some remarks

The European Approach Closure

Recording research | Keeping the records of science accessible  Leadership  Science breakthrough /Market opportunity  Involvement of all relevant stakeholders  Sense of urgency / Unmet need  Support from the top  Finance

Recording research | Take home message  Systems approach | Integral Chain approach  Valuation of data  Performance criteria | scientific excellence  Communication strategy needed  Create a regulatory framework  Beste practices | Inventory PPPs | data exchange, usage and storage
