projects: scoping digital repository services for research data management - events
Research Data Management Workshop - Friday 13th June 2008
Venue - Oxford Said Business School
Abstract
The workshop is organised under the umbrella of the Scoping Digital Repository Services for Research Data Management project.
The overall aim of the workshop is to hear examples of good and interesting practice, from Oxford and elsewhere, with respect
to the use of digital repository services at various points in the research lifecycle, and from the perspective of various
discipline areas. The event is designed for Oxford researchers to learn about best practice in research data management across
disciplines and to encourage discussion.
Aims and Objectives
- Raise awareness of the benefits and importance of actively managing research data
- Communicate significant developments in data repositories in order to stimulate the adoption of best practice
- Complement the findings of the scoping study interviews with Oxford researchers
Presentations
- Welcome and introduction - Paul Jeffreys, Director of IT at the University of Oxford
(MP3 5.2MB)
- Scoping Digital Repository Services for Research Data Management project- Luis Martinez Uribe, Oxford
e-Research Centre -
Research data are very valuable and it is important that Oxford can assist and support researchers in to manage them. This presentations
introduces the project and presents the preliminary findings of the scoping study interviews conducted between May and June.

Examples of research data management
- Archiving electronic data: An example from the NPEU- Peter Brocklehurst (National Perinatal Epidemiology
Unit, University of Oxford) (PPT 5.6MB) -
(MP3 21.9MB)
- Data and knowledge management: A research scientist's perspective - Simon Briggs (Department
of Clinical Pharmacology, University of Oxford) -
Almost all data that results from laboratory research is acquired electronically and requires careful management and archiving. We have tried and
tested a knowledge management solution, "Ardenno," and I will describe our experience with this product together with our goals for managing and
archiving laboratory data.

National initiatives
- Dealing with Data - Perspectives on Progress to Date - Liz Lyon (Digital Curation Centre and UKOLN) -
Liz Lyon will reflect on achievements and aspirations twelve months after publication of the UKOLN Report, which examined roles, rights, responsibilities,
and relationships for the effective curation of research data.
(PPT 2.6MB) -
(MP3 14.1MB)
- The meaning of data "publication" - Stephane Goldstein (Research Information Network) -
Research data represent an increasingly important ouput of research. But to what extent are researchers making their data available and accessible to others?
How are data being disseminated, and what are the issues encountered when doing so?
(PPT 508KB) - (MP3 17MB)
- DISC-UK DataShare and Data Audit Framework Implementation - Robin Rice (Edinburgh University Data Library and EDINA) -
Two JISC-funded projects being carried out at the University of Edinburgh with partners including the University of Oxford, which aim to help researchers manage,
document, and share their research data online.

Examples of research data management II
- Supporting Capture, Preservation and Dissemination of Chemical Data - Simon Coles and Jeremy Frey (University of Southampton) -
This presentation begins by outlining the changing nature of the exchange of chemical information and the new opportunities that are provided by the new generation
of tools and services available on the world wide web. It then goes on to demonstrate the clear need for a new and structured approach to capturing, storing, managing
and disseminating such information, given the current data deluge and approach to publishing. The Institutional Repository and Electronic Laboratory Notebook approaches
are presented as a solution and models, prototypes, policies and financial case studies are presented. The concept of using Blog technology to collaborate and exchange
information relating to chemical experiments is discussed and an example of Open Notebook Science presented. Finally the concept of implementing the OAI-ORE protocol to
wrap up heterogeneous data types from different sources and analytical experiments to produce an exchangeable complex digital object package that is self describing and
may be shared using new social networking approaches (in particular the myExperiment project) is outlined.

- 'At the sharp end' - managing and extracting biological knowledge from high throughput biological data - Helen Parkinson (European
Bioinformatics Institute) -
The ArrayExpress database stores and serves array based transcriptomic data from the biomedical community. Past and present approaches to curation, management and presentation
of the data by the ArrayExpress Production Team will be discussed.

- Tailor-made: managing qualitative and codified data of an explorative research project on the sources of state preferences-
Joerg Friedrichs (Department of International Development, University of Oxford) -
My website reflects data management in a collaborative research project on international police cooperation, and offers an additional resource for readers of my research
monograph that on 'Fighting Terrorism and Drugs: Europe and International Police Cooperation'. Qualitative and quantitative data are combined with complementary metadata
and a selection of primary sources.
