1st Workshop PRESENTATION

Title 

Monitoring the FAIRness of data sets - Introducing the DANS approach to FAIR metrics

ABstract

Research funding in recent years often comes with the condition to make the resulting data openly available. Just opening up research data is not enough: the data should also be of sufficient quality. In 2014, the FAIR Guiding Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) were formulated, which can be considered as a proxy for data quality or fitness for use. In a relatively short term, the FAIR data principles have been adopted by many stakeholder groups, including research funders.

In this presentation, we will introduce a simple method and tool to assess the fitness for use of data sets. Part of the quality assurance of research data can be guaranteed by digital repositories that archive and provide access to data. We will argue that the certification criteria of digital archives and the FAIR data principles for data sets provide a good basis for guaranteeing the responsible reuse of research data sets.

The core certification offered by the Data Seal of Approval (DSA) and World Data System (WDS) for data repositories (now jointly known as the Core Trust Seal), in combination with the FAIR data principles get as close as possible to giving quality criteria for research data. The FAIR principles are remarkably similar to the underlying principles of the DSA, which date back to 2005: these specify that the data can be found on the Internet, are accessible (having clear rights and licenses), are in a usable format, are reliable, and are identified in a unique and persistent way so that they can be referred to. Essentially, the DSA presents quality criteria for digital repositories, whereas the FAIR principles target individual datasets, and in this sense they are perfectly complementary.

The FAIR Data Assessment Tool developed at DANS offers both data professionals working for repositories, and re-users of data a simple way to review the fitness for data reuse in an impartial and measurable way. By combining the ideas of the DSA/WDS and FAIR, we offer a straightforward operationalization that can be implemented in any certified repository. After the introduction, the participants in the workshop will score a number of datasets from various repositories using the prototype of the FAIRDAT tool. Afterwards, we will discuss the results, the applicability of the tool, and how to align our approach with other, more ambitious approaches of developing FAIR metrics.

TITLE | Day 1

Nucleus H2020 EU project

Are you ready to perform in the rri ecosystem 

ABSTRACT

Objectives 

a) Exercise different ways of collaboration, when it comes to understand how Responsible Research and Innovation is communicated and performed.
b) Learn techniques that come from the theatrical field to facilitate dialogues and encounters between different stakeholders.

Intro

RRI is everywhere, but what does it really mean to be embedded in a living environment of diverse interests and expectations? How will you relate to demanding stakeholders around you, ranging from academia to economy, from civil society to policy makers or media?

The session will collaboratively create a dynamic role-play, involving you into a mutual learning process. The stage and storyline will be based on the NUCLEUS project- defining universities as “cells”, living organisms forming clusters with other cells around them. Each participant will personify these “cells”, striving to create a productive metabolism between the main cell universities and other cells forming a cluster. We will use cards and other methodologies to start conversations about the ways to be a better “cell”-cluster. Participants will have better chances to discover their best collaborative ways, thanks to a new understanding of some of the mechanisms that happen in real life while bringing RRI into practice.

TITLE

Research lifecycles in the humanities and social sciences

ABSTRACT

A host of initiatives have moved the open agenda beyond simply open access to journal articles or monographs to a consideration of the entire research lifecycle and points at which this can be opened up. Further, we are entering a second phase of open scholarship whereby the community is now seeking to link together the many scattered solutions for different pieces of the research lifecycle. Open Scholarship offers an important opportunity for scholars in the social sciences and humanities. Although open access has gained traction more recently, it is well-known that widespread adoption of and transition to open access to journals and monographs has lagged behind many other subject areas for a host of reasons. Engaging scholars in these subject areas in open scholarship more broadly offers and opportunity to approach open from a multitude of angles. However, the research lifecycle that is presented and visualized by those engaged in open science typically visualises that of a scientist working within STEM fields. This follows an expected pattern (e.g. planning, implementation, publishing, discovery and impact, preservation, re-use) or sets of patterns in the form of sub-cycles (e.g. planning cycle, project cycle, publication cycle, preservation cycle, impact). These visualisations do not align with the process of scholarly inquiry that many humanities scholars and qualitative social scientists are engaged in and risks marginalising some communities. Imagine a professor of music, who creates bits of initially unrelated compositions and harmonies, which arose out of inspiration derived from listening to a gentle brook. These might give rise to new understandings of former theories of music or push forward techniques. The aim of this workshop is to work together with scholars to identify a series of research workflows that better reflect the processes of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences. Once lifecycles are drafted, participants will identify points of potential sharing and open opportunities. These points will then be associated with current solutions and gaps will be identified.
