EUDAT Training SessionRDA PlenaryDublin, March 25th, 2014B2Share Nordic“An example of a service that facilitates Data Discovery and uses PIDs and Metadata” Teemu.KemppainenProject Manager at NeIC, Specialist at CSC-IT Center for Science (Finland) teemu.kemppainen@csc.fi Linkedin: fi.linkedin.com/in/kemppainenteemu/ Twitter: @TeemuKemppainenBased on slides from EUDAT training material by Hilary Hanahoe

  2. What is B2Share? A user-friendly, reliable and trustworthy way for researchers, scientific communities and citizen scientists to store and share small-scale research data coming from diverse contexts Why use it? To have that peace of mind that your data is stored safe and sound while reaping the rewards of sharing data with others. Data is findable because of metadata; data is located in Europe

  3. What data can you deposit? In virtually any kind of format…. Papers Spreadsheets Audio-visual media • Just a note…. Make sure that you are allowed to upload your data. Data protection laws exist to protect sensitive data and restrictions exist. Always check if your data has any restrictions on where it can be stored. Unrelated personal data should not be stored on B2SHARE Research data Primary data Processed data Data as basis for a publication Empirical data Theoretical data

  4. B2Share Nordic • Nordice-InfrastructureCollaboration • CSC-IT Center for Science (Finland) • SNIC (Sweden) • Sigma (Norway) • EngageNordiccommunities to customize B2Share • Definecommunityspecific metadata interface • Specifyrequirements • Initialtargetedresearchcommunitiesincludeneuroinformatics; earthsciences; climateresearch; biomedicalresearch; scatter radar observations; translationalmedicine; life science; natural science;…

  5. Imagesource: Google ImageSearch

  6. Metadata • Describesdatasets • Allowothers to find data • Generic metadata (common to alldatasets) • Title, Description, Creator, Open Access, License • CommunitySpecific metadata • Specific to communityorfield of science • Example: biomedicalresearchobviouslyhasdifferentneedsthanlinguistsormeteorology, etc. • In the projectwediscusswithresearchers to specify metadata fieldsrelevant to theirfield

  7. Example: customized metadata

  8. Example: customization file in Invenio

  9. How do I search for data? Basic search Part of a title, keyword, abstract or other metadata. Advanced search Specify search fields, use boolean methods in various indices and use regular expressions and other search operators. Search guide available on search page B2SHARE

  10. EUDAT B2Find • EUDAT’s cross-disciplinary metadata catalogue • Part of EUDAT infrastructure • Harvests metadata from B2Share • Datasets uploaded to B2Share are findable through B2Find • Attract additional visibility to your datasets and research

  11. PIDs

  12. What happens to my data once I have deposited it? Data is stored on state of the art servers at CSC - the Finnish IT Center for Science, Kajaani, Finland EUDAT creates replicas at trusted centers to take care of long-term persistence. EUDAT has no claim over the data deposited in B2SHARE and depositors remain responsible for the data uploaded. B2SHARE

  13. Conclusions • B2Share is EUDATs file sharing service available for users for free (beta version) • http://b2share.eudat.eu • B2Share Nordic is a project to engage research communities to customize B2Share • Understanding enduser requirements • Co-implementing what is possible • Documenting other requirements for future use
