3. 1. Introduction • The Changing Communication Process • or the characteristic of an academic working place • Computer supportedResearchers are working in a “cloud” • multimedia (without a fixed carrier medium)Text; Audio- a. Videofiles; … • Access to the worldwide KnowledgeLibraries, digital information systems, ubiquitous inf. • Location independent (every time in the net)University, at home, at the conference location, ect. • Worldwide collaboration researchsecure platforms and so on Prof. Dr. Peter Schirmbacher Computer- und Medienservice Institut für Bibliotheks- und Informationswissenschaft

5. 2. Research Data • “[…] digital data being a (descriptive) part or the result of a research process. This process covers all stages of research, ranging from research data generation, which may be in an experiment in the sciences, an empirical study in the social sciences or observations of cultural phenomena, to the publication of research results. • Digital research data occur in different data types, levels of aggregation and data formats, informed by the research disciplines and their methods. With regards to the purpose of access for use and re-use of research data, digital research data are of no value without their metadata and proper documentation describing their context and the tools used to create, store, adapt, and analyze them.” (Kindling & Schirmbacher, 2013) Prof. Dr. Peter Schirmbacher. Computer and Media Service Berlin School of Library and Information Science

9. „Scientists should communicate the data they collect and the models they create, to allow free and open access, and in ways that are intelligible, assessable and usable for other specialists in the same or linked fields wherever they are in the world. Where data justify it, scientists should make them available in an appropriate data repository. Where possible, communication with a wider public audience should be made a priority, and particularly so in areas where openness is in the public interest.“ The Royal Society, 2012. Prof. Dr. Peter Schirmbacher. Computer and Media Service Berlin School of Library and Information Science

11. 2. Research Data • „Researchers and practitioners from any discipline are able to find, access and process the data they need. They can be confident in their ability to use and understand data, and they can evaluate the degree to which that data can be trusted.“ • “Producers of data benefit from opening it to broad access, and prefer to deposit their data with confidence in reliable repositories. A framework of repositories is guided by international standards, to ensure they are trustworthy.” Vision 2030 High Level Expert Group on Scientific Data, 2010. Prof. Dr. Peter Schirmbacher. Computer and Media Service Berlin School of Library and Information Science

12. 2. Research Data • Incentives forscholars • Training theresearcherandusers • Buildingtheinfrastructure • „The three main challenges in developing an ecosystem of data repositories are (1) gaps in the present data infrastructure and (2) connectivity issues (between the workflow of researchers and the institutional data infrastructure and between institutional and national data infrastructures) and (3) long-term financial basis.” • Fundingtheinfrastructure Van der Graaf, M., & Waaijers, L. 2011.
