3. Europe's surfboard for the research data wave The High Level Expert Group on Scientific Data presented Riding the Wave in October 2010 Vision: "data e-infrastructure that supports seamless access, use, re-use, and trust of data. In a sense, the physical and technical infrastructure becomes invisible and the data themselves become the infrastructure a valuable asset on which science, technology, the economy and society can advance".

4. be of broad interest (research, education, innovation, economic…) offer scope for world-leading research be used by several research teams/users with highly advanced projects be so-large that individual groups cannot operate them on their own have long-term plans for their scientific objectives, funding and exploitation be open and accessible for researchers be persistently providing services (24/7) […] adapted from a presentation by the Swedish Research Council about research infrastructures, data, and… libraries

5. implementing interoperable data infrastructure (a)data generators; research projects, big research infrastructure, installations or medium size laboratories, simulation centres, surveys or individual researchers (b)discipline-specific data service providers, providing data and workflows as a service (c)providers of generic common data services (computing centres, libraries) (d)researchers as users, using the data for science and engineering community driven data infrastructure, including ESFRI, ESFRI clusters and others

10. Global attempts to improve data sharing and interoperability European Collaborative Data Infrastructure with Common data Services The EC is supporting RDA through the RDA-Eurpe project Opportunity to combine grass-roots thinking with broad engagement

11. what are we going to do with research data? data and “research data” data is different from articles there are data and data – context dependent (almost) all data can be used for research but some data are primarily collected for research – mediated access and accepted reputation mechanism data e-infrastructures will emerge relying on research and education networks w/ global connectivity computing and software e-infrastructures but data e-infrastructures are very different from nets and computing they will be global… data and computing (software) are two sides of the same coin

12. G8+O6 working group on data infrastructures White paper: 5 principles describing the benefits of a global data infrastructure. Data is: Discoverable – IDs, Descriptive Metadata,... Accessible – Acknowledgment, License, Terms of Use, Intellectual Property, Legal... Understandable – Semantics, Analysis, Quality, Language translation.... Manageable – Responsibility, Costs, Preservation... People (Usable) - Workforce, Cultural, Training,...

13. thinking aloud about data management plans Important! look carefully at Horizon2020 guidelines guidelines about the pilot on research data, DMPs, etc

14. to reap the rewards: Invest in infrastructure, then Set the right policy, and thus Exploit the current large investment in data assets Policy Infrastructure Off to Market! Slide by Ross Wilkinson, Director of the Australian National Data Service
