Open science
» Open Science: an umbrella term for a
technology and data driven systemic
change in how researchers work,
collaborate, share ideas, disseminate
and re-use results, by adopting the
core values that knowledge should be
reusable, modifiable and
redistributable.This allows us to
address the increasing demand
in society to address societal
challenges of our time.

Why open science, research data sharing ?
»Innovation and impact
»Meet global challenges with
new forms of research
»Supports research integrity
and better research
»Accountability

G7 Science Ministers, Open Science,2017
“We recognize that ICT developments, the digitisation and the vast availability of data, efforts
to push the science frontiers, and the need to address complex economic and societal
challenges, are transforming the way in which science is performed towards Open Science
paradigms.We agree that an international approach can help the speed and coherence of this
transition, and that it should target in particular two aspects. First, the incentives for the
openness of the research ecosystem: the evaluation of research careers should better
recognize and reward Open Science activities. Secondly, the infrastructures for an optimal
use of research data: all researchers should be able to deposit, access and analyse
scientific data across disciplines and at the global scale, and research data should adhere
to the FAIR principles of being findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.”

“Support is woeful in the university currently, in particular
long-term data archiving is critically required. Most of my
non-current data is rotting on CD's and hard-drives.”

Preservation Challenges
»Automated preservation workflow
› Lack of resources
› Preservation sausage machine
»Interactive preservation workflow
› Work with the researcher and their data
»Appropriate Workflow
› What is an appropriate workflow?

Production Priorities
»First priority is research data
› Research output (Article/Thesis etc.)
› Research data
› Research software/code
› Provenance metadata (method)
»But also…..
› Preservation systems tailored for
multiple digital objects and data types
› Use cases and pilots for objects
beyond research data
