9. Plan or planning? • Data management is a part of professional research. • Data awareness and planning are more important than the actual DMP. Yet • Make your plan explicit and keep it up to date; • Try not to reinvent the wheel: lots of DMP templates available; • Involve other stakeholders.

10. Data management: who? €$£ Funders Institution Research data policy

11. Position within the federated data infrastructure:a collaborative framework Trust Data Curation User functions: data capture and transfer Data Generators Data Users • Front offices: • Local Data Facilities ((University) Libraries) • Domain-Specific Research Infrastructures Community Support Services Common Data Services: Archiving, Access, … Back Offices: DANS, 3TU.Datacenter, … Basic Technical Infrastructure: SURFsara, Target, … Common Data Services: Storage, Backups, …

12. What is trust built on? • Dedicate yourself (mission statement) • Do what you promise (stable, sincere and competent reputation) • Be transparent (peer review, get certified)

13. Certification of digital repositories • International framework • 3 standards • 3 levels http://www.trusteddigitalrepository.eu

14. DSA: basic certification • DANS initiative (2005/6) • International Board (2009) • 16 guidelines • Self assessment & review • Transparency • Almost 30 seals awarded The researchdata: • can be found on the Internet • are accessible (clear rights and licenses) • are in a usable format • are reliable • can be referred to (persistent identifier) Data producers are responsible for the quality of research data, repositories for storage and long-term access, and users for correct use of data http://datasealofapproval.org/

15. DIN 31644: extended certification • 34 criteria written by German nestor-group and adopted as DIN 31644 • Self assessment & review • Self assessment and evidence on website • No seals acquired yet… http://www.langzeitarchivierung.de/Subsites/nestor/

17. ESFRI Research Infrastructures and Trust • Requirements for CLARIN Centres • “Centres need to have a proper and clearly specified repository system and participate in a quality assessment procedure as proposed by the Data Seal of Approval or MOIMS-RAC approaches” Building Trust: CESSDA Self-Assessment Project Participants from fifteen CESSDA member organisations discussed the CESSDA-ERIC requirements and agreed upon using the Data Seal of Approval (DSA) guidelines as a tool to gain information on the level of their conformance with the DSA and the CESSDA-ERIC requirements.

18. H2020 Open data pilot • Current Guidelines Open Research Data Pilot do not mention “trusted digital repositories”;Annex 2 mentions “certified repositories” once. • Understandable: there are few certified TDRs yet. • E-infrastructure call H2020: Services to ensure the quality and reliability of the e- infrastructure, including certification mechanisms for repositories andcertification services to test and benchmark capabilities in terms of resilience and service continuity of e-infrastructures.
