6 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES See Science as an open enterprise http://royalsociety.org/policy/projects/scie nce-public-enterprise/report/ http://royalsociety.org/policy/projects/scie nce-public-enterprise/report/

7 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Technological change  Modern computers permit massive datasets to be assembled and explored in ways that reveal inherent but unsuspected relationships. This data-led science is a promising new source of knowledge (p. 7)  The emergence of linked data technologies creates new information through deeper integration of data across different datasets with the potential to greatly enhance automated approaches to data analysis (p. 7)

8 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Map of Interlinked Data W3C (2012). Available at: http://www.w3.org/wiki/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData http://www.w3.org/wiki/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData

9 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Open Data  Open data is the idea that certain data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DNA_orbit_animated.gif Auer, S. R.; Bizer, C.; Kobilarov, G.; Lehmann, J.; Cyganiak, R.; Ives, Z. (2007). "DBpedia: A Nucleus for a Web of Open Data". The Semantic Web.

14 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES LERU Roadmap for Research Data  Overseen by Research Data Working Group Pablo Achard (University of Geneva) Paul Ayris (UCL, University College London) Serge Fdida (UPMC, Paris) Stefan Gradmann (University of Leuven) Wolfram Horstmann (University of Oxford) Ignasi Labastida (University of Barcelona) Liz Lyon (University of Bath) Katrien Maes (LERU) Susan Reilly (LIBER) Anja Smit (University of Utrecht)

15 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES LERU Roadmap for Research Data 1.Policy and Leadership 2.Advocacy 3.Selection and Collection, Curation, Description, Citation, Legal Issues 4.Research Data Infrastructure 5.Costs 6.Roles, Responsibilities and Skills 7.Recommendations to different stakeholder groups Cern, Geneva

17 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Key Messages  Each LERU university needs a Research Data Management Strategy  Researchers should have Research Data Management Plans  LERU universities need to bring stakeholders together  Benefits of ‘open data’ for sharing and re-use should be advocated and explored  New role of Data Scientist is emerging King’s Cross, London

18 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Policy Development  Case Study on Policy development from UCL  Drivers  External funders  Need to inform researchers  Raise awareness of issues facing UCL researchers  Identifies roles and responsibilities  Data to be made open in the most open manner appropriate  Researchers should have Data Management Plans  LERU slams lack of data policies – Research Europe

19 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Open Data  Open Data allows research data to be shared and re-used  Avoids costly duplication of research activity  Provides greater transparency in research activity  Potential to speed discovery of solutions to societal Grand Challenges, such as health care & environmental science  Can all research data be open?  Certain categories probably cannot  National security  Data protection  Commercial Funder requirements http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Open_Data_stickers.jpg

20 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Data management  Which of these layers of research data need to be  curated for a fixed term?  preserved for the long term?  thrown away?  LERU Roadmap identifies this as an area for future study The ODE Data Publication Pyramid at http://www.alliancepermanentaccess.org/wp- content/uploads/downloads/2011/11/ODE- ReportOnIntegrationOfDataAndPublications-1_1.pdf

24 Collaboration a way forward  LERU Rectors see this as an area for study  Collaboration between Dutch institutions  Focus is on research data which lies behind publications  Each university and faculty has its own Dataverse installation  Support services offered by libraries in Dutch universities Utrecht, Tilburg, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Maastrict, Groningen, 3TU Datacentrum and Netherlands Institute of Ecology

25 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Collaboration – a UCL Case Study  UCL Research Data Service  Will curate outputs of ‘Big Science’ funded by projects  Centrally funded by UCL  Some cost recovery  Add a preservation service  Advocacy for research data management 25  UCL Library Services  Will curate the outputs of ‘Small Science’  Funded via the Library  No cost recovery planned  Oversee UCL policy development  Advocacy for research data management Plaster Relief by John Flaxman, Flaxman Gallery, UCL

34 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Text and Data Mining – What is it?

35 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES European discussions on TDM  Licences4Europe  LIBER and research stakeholder organisations withdrew from process  LIBER’s TDM Workshop in September 2013  Commission now holding a copyright consultation – until 5 March 2014  LIBER wants Exception in the European Copyright and Database Directives

36 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES The view from a researcher Dr Peter Murray-Rust (Cambridge)  Elsevier is the sole author and controller of the policy – there has been no Open discussion or agreement with scholarly bodies  Libraries have to – individually – sign agreements with Elsevier. (Libraries have universally and unilaterally given away all these rights over the last decade and support publishers to forbid machine access to content)  Researchers have to register as a developer (I think) and ask permission of Elsevier for every project they wish to do

37 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES And …  Researchers can only mine text. Images are specifically prohibited. This is useless for me – as I and colleagues are mining chemical structure diagrams  There is no indication of how current the material will be. I shall be mining the literature an hour after it appears. Will the API provide that?  The amount that can be republished is often useless (“200 characters”). I want to build corpora (impossible); vocabularies (essential to record precise words – impossible); chemical names (often > 200 characters so impossible). Figure captions (impossible)

38 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES And …  The researchers must commit to a CC-NC licence. This effectively kills downstream use (I shall use CC0). It also trains them into thinking CC-NC is a “good thing”. It isn’t  If a researcher has a LEGITIMATE collection of papers that they wish to mine (say on their hard disk) they are forbidden. They have to go to each publisher (if this awful protocol is promoted elsewhere) and find the API and mine the individual papers. Absurd

39 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Contents  The importance of Research Data  LERU Research Data Roadmap  Roles and Opportunities  Text and Data Mining  Next Steps

40 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES

41 Next Steps in London  Policy creation  UCL has a Research Data Management policy at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/isd/staff/research_services/research-data/ http://www.ucl.ac.uk/isd/staff/research_services/research-data/  Do you?  Advocacy  Meetings with Research Committees at all 10 UCL Faculties to raise awareness; Communications Strategy to follow  Training  UCL Library Services establishing a training programme for library staff to be provided by the Library School, University of Sheffield

42 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Finally  Breakout Groups  Discussion

43 UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Questions for Breakout Groups  What are the main points your Research Data Management Policy should make?  What are the drivers to help engage with researchers?
