5. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Technological change  Modern computers permit massive datasets to be assembled and explored in ways that reveal inherent but unsuspected relationships. This data-led science is a promising new source of knowledge (p. 7)  The emergence of linked data technologies creates new information through deeper integration of data across different datasets with the potential to greatly enhance automated approaches to data analysis (p. 7)

13. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Key Messages  Each LERU university needs a Research Data Management Strategy  Researchers should have Research Data Management Plans  LERU universities need to bring stakeholders together  Benefits of ‘open data’ for sharing and re-use should be advocated and explored  New role of Data Scientist is emerging King’s Cross, London

14. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Policy Development  Case Study on Policy development from UCL  Drivers  External funders  Need to inform researchers  Raise awareness of issues facing UCL researchers  Identifies roles and responsibilities  Data to be made open in the most open manner appropriate  Researchers should have Data Management Plans  LERU slams lack of data policies – Research Europe See www.lanecrothers.net/politicalprof/the- policy-cycle-and-our-frozen-politics/www.lanecrothers.net/politicalprof/the- policy-cycle-and-our-frozen-politics/

15. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Open Data  Open Data allows research data to be shared and re-used  Avoids costly duplication of research activity  Provides greater transparency in research activity  Potential to speed discovery of solutions to societal Grand Challenges, such as health care & environmental science  Can all research data be open?  Certain categories probably cannot  National security  Data protection  Commercial Funder requirements http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Open_Data_stickers.jpg

16. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Data management  Which of these layers of research data need to be  curated for a fixed term?  preserved for the long term?  thrown away?  LERU Roadmap identifies this as an area for future study The ODE Data Publication Pyramid at http://www.alliancepermanentaccess.org/wp- content/uploads/downloads/2011/11/ODE- ReportOnIntegrationOfDataAndPublications-1_1.pdf

17. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Collaboration a way forward  LERU Rectors see this as an area for study  Collaboration between Dutch institutions  Focus is on research data which lies behind publications  Each university and faculty has its own Dataverse installation  Support services offered by libraries in Dutch universities Utrecht, Tilburg, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Maastrict, Groningen, 3TU Datacentrum and Netherlands Institute of Ecology See http://www.syndromic.org/communitieshttp://www.syndromic.org/communities
