1. GEO Data Management Principles Implementation : World Data System–Data Seal of Approval (WDS-DSA) Core Certification of Digital Repositories Dr Mustapha Mokrane, ICSU-WDS Executive Director

2. The value of Earth observations are maximized through data life- cycle management based on ten Principles supporting five themes: DISCOVERABILITY DMP-1: Data and metadata discoverable ACCESSIBILITY DMP-2: Data accessible via online services USABILITY DMP-3: Encoding DMP-4: Documentation DMP-5: Traceability DMP-6: Quality PRESERVATION DMP-7: Preservation DMP-8: Verification CURATION DMP 9: Review and reprocessing DMP 10: Persistent and resolvable identifiers GEO Data Management Principles (DMPs)

3. Description / explanation of each principle and implementation Guidance on implementation with examples Resources for implementing each principle Metrics measuring adherence to implement each principle GEO DMPs Implementation Guidelines

4. Core Certification of Digital Repositories: relevance to GEO DMPs Implementation DMPs are covered by Core Certification requirements Core Certification (DSA-WDS) referenced explicitly in Implementation guidelines DMP 7 & 10 Trusted Digital Repositories (TDRs) referenced in implementation and metrics of DMP 1, 8 & 10

5. Core certification: Trustworthy Digital Repository Trust is at the heart of Data Sharing: Users, Depositors, Funders… Standards can play an important role in establishing Trust through Certification!

6. DSA and WDS Core Certification  DSA and WDS: lightweight mechanisms for repository assessment with many commonalities  WDS: 61 repositories and 10 networks, DSA: 57 repositories  DSA and WDS: WG under Research Data Alliance  Harmonize core certification requirements and procedures, ultimately setting the stage for a global shared framework including other standards

7. Global Framework for Certification

8. Working Group Outcomes  Common Requirements – Core certification criteria  Common Procedures – Implementation plan for introducing requirements in partnership  Testbed – “Real-world” validation of Common Requirements and Procedures https://goo.gl/Fuv7Ev

9. DSA-WDS Common Requirements Background information: –Context Organizational infrastructure: –Mission/scope –Licenses –Continuity of access –Confidentiality and ethics –Organizational infrastructure –Expert guidance

10. DSA-WDS Common Requirements Digital object management: –Data integrity and authenticity –Appraisal –Documented storage procedures –Preservation plan –Data quality –Workflows –Data discovery and identification –Data reuse

11. DSA-WDS Common Requirements Technology: –Technical infrastructure –Security Additional information and applicant feedback

12. DSA-WDS Common Procedures Joint Assessment Processes: –URLs to evidence strongly encouraged –Maturity ratings strongly encouraged –Assessments to be publicly available –Successful completion means certification in both DSA and WDS –Renewals every three years

13. DSA-WDS Common Procedures Sustainable Review Process –Pool of reviewers (training provided) drawn from DSA and WDS –Two reviewers (from DSA and WDS) for each application, approved by the new DSA–WDS Certification Board Mutual Governance Process –DSA and WDS agree to work together to implement and steward the partnership

14. The future of DSA-WDS Core Certification  Introduce the new common requirements over the course of this year (launch at IDW 2016)  Continue work on the Common Procedures  Conduct outreach to other standards like nestor-SEAL and ISO  Trust4Data: EU H2020 Proposal (GEO is Associate Partner)

15. Why Core Certification for GEO Data Providers? One of the tools in the GEO DMPs Implementation toolkit: 1.Lightweight 2.Available and Implemented (DSA-WDS) 3.Internationally endorsed (EU, RDA, WDS, ICSU, GEO?...)

16. Certification for All GEO Data Providers?

17. GEO Data Core

18. GEO Data from Core Certified Repositories Certified: TDR

19. In the GEO Work Programme GD02 GCI Operations: Support the GEO GCI Working with the providers already connected with the GCI so that they meet the DSA-WDS Core Certification Jointly organize outreach towards providers GD-07.3: Develop DMP Guidelines and Implementation Process Link with DSA-WDS Core Certification
