  4. Data stewardship infrastructure International initiatives that make me envious U.S. NSF DataNet Europe’s Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research (DRIVER) DRIVER II: Federated data repositories Where’s Canada? We need an investment by CFI into a national platform for data stewardship

  6. Data: the power of collections • Large science data centres, like the Chandra Data archive, are successful because they consist of an organized, managed and preserved collection. • Statistics Canada discovered the power of collections through academic library participation in DLI and the RDC Network.

  7. No data file left behind • Data centre model • Astronomy example • The data centre is part of the instrumentation infrastructure • Data repository model • Islandora • Scholar’s Portal Odesi • Domain archives • Omnibus collections like the ICPSR & UK DA

  12. Data management services • International initiatives that make me envious • Australia ANDS • UK RDS • What should Canada be doing? • Develop data management planning methods and protocols • Providing national services, such as DataCite • Building capacity

  13. Research Data Strategy Working Group Initiated by Pam Bjornson, CISTI Executive Director Cross-sector working group consisting of members from government departments & agencies and research libraries Stewardship of Research Data in Canada: A Gap Analysis (January 2009). Uses a lifecycle model to identify data problems in Canada. RDSWG reorganized in anticipation of the release of the Gap Analysis in fall 2008. Task Group 1: Engagement strategy Task Group 2: Policies, funding and reward systems Task Group 3: Infrastructure and services Task Group 4: Capacity 13

CARL Data Management Working Group Members Marnie Swanson, Chair (U of Victoria) Pam Bjornson (CISTI) Lynn Copeland (SFU) Michelle Edwards (U of Guelph) Observers Bernie Gloyn (Statistics Canada) Margaret Haines (Carleton U) Janine Schmidt (McGill U) Kathleen Shearer (CARL consultant) Produced the Data Management Awareness Toolkit 15

  17. Metadata: making data smart • Standards for documenting the lifecycle • CASRAI: the Consortia Advancing Standards in Research Administration Information • DDI 3.0 • COPPUL’s Table-to-Data (T2D) initiative • Tools to exploit metadata • Metadata needed to automate aspects of asset management • Example of the risk management of confidential data • Track the lifecycle documenting risk factors

  18. DLI Training: making data service providers smarter • Throughout these environmental changes, one mission of DLI Training is to support data service providers in making the transition to the new ways in which access is provided to research data and in which data are preserved.
