From emj73 at cornell.edu Thu Mar 2 12:24:56 2017 From: emj73 at cornell.edu (Erica Mehan Johns) Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2017 17:24:56 +0000 Subject: [Rdap] Last Call: Survey : help clarify RDAP's role & purpose Message-ID: Hi All, We have extended the deadline for this (very short) survey until end of business tomorrow (3/3) because we are hoping to get a fuller representation from the RDAP community. THANK YOU TO ALL who have participated! The RDAP Future Vision Task Force (a subset of the RDAP planning committee) has been working to clarify RDAP's role and purpose. A large part of that process has been to craft a series of statements that the task force feels encompasses the three core aspects of RDAP: mission, community, and annual summit. This short survey (2-5 min) will ask for your feedback on the draft statement and provide three additional questions which will have a hand in shaping the future of RDAP. Please complete the survey by EOB Friday 3/3/2017. The results of this survey and information regarding future trajectories will be presented at the 2017 RDAP conference. Thank you for your participation, time, and passion!

URL: From ljohnsto at umn.edu Wed Mar 15 12:17:03 2017 From: ljohnsto at umn.edu (Lisa Johnston) Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2017 12:17:03 -0400 Subject: [Rdap] Data Curation Network project releases two report Message-ID: Apologies for cross-posting. Please share broadly. Two reports released by the Data Curation Network Projectposted 3-15-2017 by Lisa Johnston ( ljohnsto at umn.edu) The Data Curation Network project team released two new reports this week. The first shares the results of six focus group sessions with researchers on their perceptions, use, and barriers of data curation activities. In total we engaged 91 researchers from across our planning phase institutions: U. of Minnesota, Cornell, Penn State, U of Illinois, U of Michigan, and Wash U. in St. Louis. The research revealed what curation activities are most important to researchers and where the Data Curation Network could provide the most impact. Our interview instruments and assessment data are also provided! The second report describes the results of our experimental pilot for curating the same dataset with staff from across our six institutions. We present our methodology, results and concluding recommendations for how a resulting Network model will work as a distributed staffing approach to providing data curation support. Based on the findings of this pilot data curation exercise, the Data Curation Network now has a better understanding of the roles of the "local" and "DCN curators" and how data might effectively flow through the DCN once implemented beyond our six institutions. Read the full reports on our Publications page - Special Report: "*Results of the Researcher Engagement Sessions * " - - Supplemental Files available: Data Tables , Worksheet Protocol , and Master Card Desk used in Researcher Engagement Focus Groups - Special Report: "*Results of the Data Curation Pilots* " The Data Curation Network project is supported by a grant from the ALFRED P. SLOAN FOUNDATION . The Data Curation Network project aims to enable academic institutions to scale their data curation services by sharing staff with file format and domain specific skills so that data sets ingested by one institution might be curated by curators with that expertise at another institution. Thus we aim to provide data repositories with a wider range of curatorial expertise to handle the multi-disciplinary data types found across academic domains.
