E.g. requirements for higher education institutions
Framework architecture
A target-level description of open science & research processes, services, information, data structures, actors, roles and information system services
Defines the framework for national common solutions, components, data management, information system and local service design and implementation
Finished in 2015, put into practice in 2016
Long term preservation model for research data
Recognize the most important or unique research output
Ensure linkages between publications, data and methods
Make services easy to use, efficient and adaptable
Enable organizations to easily adopt the services in their own operations

8. research data storage service
IDA

9. IDA research data storage
Offered since 2012 for projects in Finnish universities, universities of applied sciences and the Academy of Finland
Organizational usage quotas vary according to size from 30 TB to 1260 TB
Open-source iRODS technology provides secure storage procedures with data replication
openscience.fi/ida

10. IDA research data storage
Currently
130 projects
500 registered users
19 million data files
470 TB used
Data owner decides on openness and use policy
Metadata catalogue and open data portal

User
Producer
Research organization’s service

11. plans for new IDA Needs:
Everyday storage and sharing
A medium-length term (~10 yrs) preservation buffer for PAS (long term)
Data lifecycle support: storage, “freezing” and hand-over
Centralized metadata management: Data registration in external metadata resource, linking files to datasets to storage packages
Access management improvements: roles, organizations
Upgrades planned for multiple layers: software (iRODS vs. OwnCloud?), storage solution (scale out) and system architecture

12. research data finder
Etsin

13. Etsin research data finder
National metadata catalogue for research data
Adheres to the national metadata model

Managing status
(is data integrity intact?
is data available?)
Managing location
(where is the data?)
Managing roles
(who owns rights to the data? who is responsible for sustainability?)
Managing risks
(how to keep data discoverable and usable? what actions are needed?)

22. data management planning tool
dmpTuuli

23. dmpTuuli data management planning tool
What: data management planning (DMP) tool for Finnish research organizations
How: a collaborative project with a user driven approach
Why: DMP is an integral part of good research practise and ensures research integrity and quality
Where:
When: Piloting with national funders in 2016

24. dmpTuuli
Data management plan (DMP) will help you manage your data, meet funder requirements and help others use your data if shared. – DMPTuuli will help you write data management plans.
DMPTuuli is provided by the Finnish Tuuli-project.
The project has worked closely with researchers and research funders to produce guidance and templates that assist researchers to produce an effective data management plan (DMP) to cater for the whole lifecycle of a project, from bid-preparation stage through to completion.
DMPTuuli is based on DMPonline code, developed by the UK's Digital Curation Centre.

25. Data management plan A living document – updatable and reviewable
Create your data management plan early and review it regularly throughout the research project
Describes
what data will be collected and how
the usage and storage of your data
how to enable the reuse of your data after the project
Covers issues concerning
Responsibilities
Data ownership and licensing
Costs

26. Research infrastructure databank

27. Research infrastructure databank
Unified descriptions of RIs and services
Promotes openness and sharing
Centralized and easily updatable
For researchers, RI service providers, funders

28. RI DB: Features in development
PIDs for RIs
Open API
Updates through harvesting
Linking data: publications, data, funding, projects, organizations, resources etc.

29. Common challenges

30. Common Challenges Metadata management & creation, metadata reserve
