21. New Forms of Data CDT
▶ Much of the value of ‘new forms of data’ lie in the
potential for them to be analysed in near real-time,
which presents opportunities for revealing
phenomena as they unfold, enabling timely response
with immediate influence. Such analysis brings distinct
new computational requirements, requires new skills,
and makes new demands on the ease of use and
capability of the national e-Infrastructure.

28. Psychology and digital technology are
being combined to understand music
in new ways. In the run-up to the
Being Human festival, a group of
students in the audience for Wagner’s
epic ‘Ring Cycle’, conducted by Valery
Gergiev (Birmingham Hippodrome)
will take part in an intriguing
experiment to monitor the sensations
produced over the 16-hour cycle of
four operas.
How do we really
experience Wagner’s music?

41. Digital Scholarship @ Oxford
We have seen the affordances of digital in scholarship:
digitize, democratize, discover, access, analyze, automate,
create, cite, curate, link, scale, share, re-use.
We can answer old questions in new ways, and new questions.
We see the future university leading in digital scholarship.
How do we get there?
1. Digital strategy to guide coherent investment
2. Innovation with new digital technology and methods
3. Co-creating capability with scholars and content
4. Ongoing support for research using digital infrastructure

Notes de l'éditeur
Developing data landscape and boom in ‘big data’ – which includes electronic data not designed for research but with potential research value which records transactions, communications, physical movements (e.g. customer databases, service delivery records, internet search activity, etc.). This diagram describes the vision at the time when RCUK was setting the Big Data Agenda to secure investment. The ESRC has moved since then to consolidating Business/LG and ADRN into the ESRC Big Data network, for which a diagram will be presented shortly explaining the different stages and where the present call sits.
ESRC was allocated 64m and much of this is being used to set up the ESRC Big Data Network.
The ESRC’s Big Data Network will support the development of a network of innovative investments which will strengthen the UK’s competitive advantage in Big Data for the social sciences. The core aim of this network is to facilitate access to different types of data and thereby stimulate innovative research and develop new methods to undertake that research.
Although you should note that diagram it is only illustrative in terms of how the UKDS and ADS will work across – that is still under discussion; and only illustrative in the number of Business and Local Government Data Research.
This network has been divided into three phases. In Phase 1 of the Big Data Network the ESRC has invested in the development of the Administrative Data Research Network (ADRN) which will provide access to de-identified administrative data collected by government departments for research use – focus of this meeting and all your grants.
A few words about Phase 2 and 3 before we pass to Vanessa to talk about the ADRN some more.
Phase 2 is currently bring commissioned and will deal primarily with business data and/ or local government data.
Phase 3, further details of which will be released in the last autumn / winter and will focus primarily on third sector data and social media data.
It is expected that there will be opportunities for interaction across all elements of the ESRC Big Data Network and that they will all work together around the wider objectives of facilitating access to different forms of data and of ensuring maximum impact is generated from the use of that data for the mutual benefit of data owners and researchers, and through the research facilitated by the Network, benefit society and the economy more generally.
