Riding the wave. How Europe can gain from the rising of scientific dataRiding the wave. How Europe can gain from the rising of scientific data (the High Level Expert Group on Scientific Data – European Commission) E-infrastructure supporting: seamless access of data use, re-use of data trust of data Stakeholders: researchers,national authorities, general public

5 Vision by 2030  International Framework for collaborative data infrastructure  Measurement of impact and quality of data  More funding  Training data scientists  Green Technology  Planning for data infrastructure at global level (global governance)

A Surfboard for Riding the Wave. Towards a four country action programme on research data Knowledge Exchange (Denmark, Germany, Netherlands and UK)  Incentives  Training (data skills for researchers/data scientists/data librarians)  Data Infrastructure and its funding  Action Programme

The European Commission towards open publications and data 9

OA in FP7 (1) The European Commission has two policies on Open Access in practice. Both aim to ensure that research results funded by the EU citizen are made available to the population at large for free. In this way, Open Access is considered a way to improve the EU's return on research and development (R&D) investment. 10 Opening the Past. Archaeological Open Data. Pisa 9 th June 2012

OA in FP7 (2) December 2007: the ERC Scientific Council published his Guidelines for Open Access, as a follow up of the 2006 Statement on Open Access.Guidelines for Open Access August 2008: the European Commission launched the Open Access Pilot in FP7 that will run until the end of the Framework ProgrammeOpen Access Pilot in FP7 11 Opening the Past.

OpenAIRE ( ) OpenAIRE’s three main objectives are to build support structures for researchers in depositing FP7 research publications through the establishment of the European Helpdesk and the outreach to all European member states through the operation and collaboration of 27 National Open Access Liaison Offices; establish and operate an electronic infrastructure for handling peer-reviewed articles as well as other important forms of publications (pre-prints or conference publications). This is achieved through a portal that is the gateway to all user-level services offered by the e-Infrastructure established, including access (search and browse) to scientific publications and other value-added functionality (post authoring tools, monitoring tools through analysis of document and usage statistics); 12 Opening the Past.

OpenAIRE ( ) OpenAIRE’s three main objectives are to work with several subject communities to explore the requirements, practices, incentives, workflows, data models, and technologies to deposit, access, and otherwise manipulate research datasets of various forms in combination with research publications. This last objective leads to OpenAIREplus 13 Opening the Past. Archaeological Open Data. Pisa 9 th June 2012

OpenAIREplus ( ) OpenAIREplus’ main objectives are: Linking publications with data and funding – Consolidate institutional repository network – Integrate data repositories – Import funding schemes from different sources Supporting Open Access in the European research area – Propagate policies, study data IPR issues – Reach out to all Europe and beyond Researchers, research managers, policy makers 14 Opening the Past.

Functionalities in a nutshell Linked data through “Enhanced publications” – The new generation publications – Representation, end user creation and visualization – Automated object interlinking Statistics and research output – Research metrics and impact Repository for “homeless” authors – Publications & data End-user data (metadata) curation – Send “content feedbacks” to OpenAIREPlus data curators Content to 3 rd party providers – Access via OpenSearch, SRW/CQL or harvesting via OAI-PMH, OAI-ORE 17 Opening the Past.

Conclusions There is a strong need in Italy for  more awareness of the critical importance of sharing, access, curation, preservation of research data  an Infrastructure for research data in Italy especially in humanities, social sciences in global context  By discipline, by institution or/and national repositories  policies, training, expertise  building collaboration among the various stakeholders 18
