Subject: [CNI-ANNOUNCE] JISC Keeping Research Data Safe 2 Final Report

 

JISC has just released the final report of a major study of the costs of
preserving research data. The details are below.

 

Clifford Lynch

Director, CNI

-------------------------

 

JISC is pleased to announce that the final
<http://www.jisc.ac.uk/publications/reports/2010/keepingresearchdatasafe2.as
px#downloads>  report for Keeping Research Data Safe 2 (KRDS2) is now
available from the JISC website. This KRDS2 study report presents the
results of a survey of available cost information, validation and further
development of the KRDS activity cost model, and a new taxonomy to help
assess benefits alongside costs. The KRDS2 study was conducted by Charles
Beagrie Ltd. and associates.

 

KRDS2 has delivered the following:

 

.         A survey of cost information for digital preservation, collating
and making available 13 survey responses for different cost datasets;

 

.         The KRDS activity model has been reviewed and its presentation and
usability enhanced;

 

.         Cost information for four organisations (the Archaeology Data
Service; National Digital Archive of Datasets; UK Data Archive; and
University of Oxford) has been analysed in depth and presented in case
studies;

 

.         A benefits framework has been produced and illustrated with two
benefit case studies from the National Crystallography Service at
Southampton University and the UK Data Archive at the University of Essex.

 

One of the key findings on the long-term costs of digital preservation for
research data was that the cost of archiving activities (archival storage
and preservation planning and actions) is consistently a very small
proportion of the overall costs and significantly lower than the costs of
acquisition/ingest or access activities for all the case studies in KRDS2.
As an example the respective activity staff costs for the Archaeology Data
Service are Access (c.31%), Outreach/Acquisition/Ingest (c.55%), Archiving
(c.15%).This confirms and supports a preliminary finding in KRDS1.

A range of supplementary materials in support of this report have also been
made available on the KRDS <http://www.beagrie.com/jisc.php>  project
website. This includes the ULCC Excel Cost Spreadsheet for the NDAD service
together with a Guide to Interpreting and Using the NDAD Cost Spreadsheet.
The NDAD Cost Spreadsheet has previously been used as an exercise in digital
preservation training events and may be particularly useful in training
covering digital preservation costs. The accompanying Guide provides
guidance to those wishing to understand and experiment with the spreadsheet.

Message-ID: <2EA599FC682D6F4684DC0DF501E209E763222D9252@MAVMAIL2.uta.edu>

Highly compressed generalization to set the stage for a question:

Science (at least the empirical, observational part) has always been about data, and thus preservation, transmission, and accessibility have been primarily in the hands of scientists.  Libraries have always (since they progressed from being treasure house archives) been about information, and sometimes data.  Scientists made use of libraries as data repositories, to various extents (and whether a journal article is "data" or edifying prose is one major variation); while the library may have been concerned with physical maintenance, how the data were used and where they went were, in the end, under the guidance of scientists.

Data repositories are increasing in size, complexity, and capability, as we have seen at our summit in Phoenix.

Now the (blunt) question:

Who can, or should, assume roles in the management of the data aspect of science beyond custodianship of the archives (including preparation of required data management plans)?  Is it inherent in the craft of every discipline-specific scientist, handed down in graduate school like writing grants and selecting which journals to publish in?  Or has "information" grown to be so large and complex an undertaking unto itself that it is best handled by professionals?

I came to Phoenix looking for a role for information professionals.  Becoming knowledgeable about the new capabilities is essential, but from there, who can advise scientists about choices in storage format, access limitations (including long-term consequences), open access/NIH/NSF issues, journal acceptance rates and impact factors, and strategic use of such information to advance an individual's career or an institution's reputation?  Will, or even should, scientists listen to librarians about such things?  Are librarians prepared, or even interested, in participating in those discussions?  If not, are they missing an opportunity?

If this is leading too far afield for this list and it should be directed elsewhere, or this discussion has taken place already somewhere else, let me know and I'll be glad to move it.  :-{)}  But this is a burning issue for some of us in the field, and I would welcome further thoughts about this.

others you think may be interested. Additional information about the meeting
logistics may be found at: http://www.nationalacademies.org/brdi. Attendance
is open, but advance registration is required through Cheryl Levey at:

INVITATION


THE CHANGING ROLE OF LIBRARIES 
IN SUPPORT OF RESEARCH DATA ACTIVITIES
A PUBLIC SYMPOSIUM
Sponsored by the 
Board on Research Data and Information

National Research Council
(http://www.nationalacademies.org/brdi)  
Thursday, June 3, 2010, 4:00-6:15 p.m.
USDA Waugh Meeting Room, 3rd Floor

1800 M Street NW, South Lobby

 

In recent years, a great deal of attention has been devoted to the role of
different libraries in the federal government, university, and research
institute context with regard to the potential long-term preservation,
management, and provision of scientific data, and related support of
services and applications for publicly-funded research. This has come at a
time of rapid technological change, an enormous and accelerating increase in
the amount of scientific data that is being generated, and intense financial
pressures on libraries.

 

The institutional roles of libraries in the management and support of
scientific data activities for research and for the broader society are one
important area of focus for the National Research Council's Board on
Research Data and Information. Three of the Board's sponsors are major
federal library organizations-the Library of Congress, the National Library
of Medicine, and the Institute for Museum and Library Services-and they each
provide a different role and perspective concerning these issues.

 

The Board's public symposium on the afternoon of 3 June 2010 will feature
presentations on this set of topics by senior managers from these three
federal library organizations, as well as from the Association of Research
Libraries, which has examined the role of libraries for research data in
some depth and whose members are institutions with a great deal at stake in
this debate. The symposium will conclude with comments by two Board members,
a university professor and researcher working in the data-intensive field of
geographic information and a university professor of information science.
The symposium will be moderated by Prof. Michael Lesk, Chair of the Board on
Research Data and Information.

 


Moderator: Michael Lesk, Rutgers University

 

Speakers:

Deanna Marcum, Library of Congress

Betsy Humphreys, National Library of Medicine

Joyce Ray, Institute for Museum and Library Services

Karla Strieb, Association of Research Libraries

Michael Goodchild, UC, Santa Barbara

Christine Borgman, UC, Los Angeles

 

Panel Discussion of Invited Speakers and Board Members

and

General discussion with the audience

 


USDA Waugh Meeting Room, 3rd Floor, South Lobby, 1800 M Street NW,
Washington, DC
Thursday, June 3, 2010, 4:00 PM - 6:15 PM


The symposium is free and open to the public, but advance registration is
required because of space limitations.

Subject: [CNI-ANNOUNCE] Workshop on Archiving Experiments, May 25-26, Utah

Our colleague Anita de Waard from Elsevier Labs sent me an 
announcement for a very interesting NSF-sponsored workshop on the 
archving of scientific experiments, which has clear links to 
scientific data management and the ability to reproduce experiments. 
There are workshop materials on the site, and they are also streaming 
the workshop live today and tomorrow. I don't know if the video 
streams will be saved and available later on demand.

My apologies for posting this so late: I hope it will still be useful 
to CNI-announce readers. I'll put out a further announcement when the 
workshop report is available.

Clifford Lynch
Director, CNI
