2013-05-29: A1: Panel: Data Centers and Institutional Partnerships
Session theme/info: <p class="bodytext">Driven by the open access agenda and data sharing policies of research funders and journal publishers, universities are expected to take on more responsibility looking after their research data assets, including making them available to the research community. Institutional repositories (IRs) have a role to play in the research data sharing landscape, complementing subject-specific data centers.</p><p class="bodytext">This panel will present and discuss how established data centers can support and work with institutions and their repositories to manage, preserve, provide access to and disseminate research data. Institutions will articulate what support they need from data centers. Through such collaboration the capacity of research data holdings can be increased and with it the quality and availability of data to the research community.</p><p class="bodytext">The panel, which brings together experts from data centers and institutional repositories, will emphasize data management, data appraisal, standards compliance, metadata standards and the handling of confidential research data within the wider social sciences context. </p><p class="bodytext">Panelists will give brief presentations and statements addressing the topical challenges and collaborations needed to meet them (8 minutes each). This will be followed by a discussion, seeking views from the audience and aiming to define those areas where collaboration is most essential and constructive.</p>

2013-05-29: A2: Panel: Managing Access to Restricted Data in Universities
Session theme/info: <p><span>University researchers regularly need to use restricted-access data that they obtain through restricted data use agreements with third parties. Many researchers manage secure storage and access to these data themselves or at the department level, but some universities provide centralized services for the storage and analysis of restricted-use data. Such services store secondary restricted data acquired by researchers for approved projects and have the potential to serve users across the university. How do such systems operate? This panel will discuss several such services, addressing questions such as:</span></p><ul><li>What entities on campus are involved in managing such systems (e.g., Libraries, IT, IRB, sponsored research, specialized research centers, etc.)?</li><li>How is data stored and accessed?</li><li>What are the policies and procedures?</li><li>What are the funding models?</li><li>What are the advantages and disadvantages of various systems?</li><li>What is the comparative advantage of a centralized vs. decentralized system?</li></ul><p class="bodytext">Presenters will each do a brief presentation followed by a panel discussion on these issues.</p><p><span><br /></span></p>

2013-05-29: A3: A DDI Tools Session: Examples and Application Challenges
Session theme/info: <p><span>The Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) is an acknowledged international standard for the documentation and management of data from the social, behavioral, and economic sciences. The DDI Tools Catalogue provides detailed information about available Open Source and commercial tools somehow related to the different DDI versions. In this session, presenters will give detailed descriptions as well as live demonstrations of newly developed, powerful, and representative DDI tools. The purpose of the Microdata Information System (MISSY) is to document European studies on the study and on the variable level. Software applications can reuse the same common data model and the freely available software components of the MISSY project. The software utility suite DataForge facilitates the reading and the writing of data across packages, produces various flavors of DDI metadata, and performs other useful operations around statistical datasets, to support data management, dissemination, or analysis activities. Colectica for Excel is a free Excel add-in to document spreadsheets using DDI. Colectica and Nesstar can be integrated. Datasets and studies can be documented in Colectica using DDI Lifecycle and datasets and studies can be published to the Nesstar server using the Nesstar API.</span></p>

2013-05-29: A4: Proof of Concept: Data Citations: Linking Literature to Data and Measuring Impact
Session theme/info: <p><span>This session addresses data citations within the context of promoting accessibility and tracking re-use. The ability of data citations to measure re-use by identifying the related literature promises to increase the accessibility and visibility of research data outputs. Citation standards continue to evolve as the scholarly research community moves toward greater levels of data sharing. How are we moving forward to a goal of linking literature to data and measuring impact in the current environment? Nigel Robinson from Thomson Reuters will discuss the Data Citation Index (DCI), including the philosophical motivation for its development and the role of the DCI in promoting metadata and citation standardization, as well as challenges involved in harmonizing metadata from source repositories across the sciences and social sciences. Katarina Boland and Brigitte Mathiak from Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences (GESIS) will share their efforts to create an algorithm to identify dataset references in the published literature in the current environment where such references lack standardization. Marion Wittenberg and Maarten Hoogerwerf from Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS) will discuss work on the NARCIS portal which links publications, research information, and data together as part of the Enhanced Publications projects.</span></p>

2013-05-29: A5: Panel: Beyond Bits and Bytes: the Organizational Dimension of Digital Preservation
Session theme/info: <p class="bodytext">The problem with digital preservation is often reduced to its technical aspects: we seek solutions to storage and bitstream preservation, format migration or building emulation environments. In turn, organizational aspects of preservation are dealt with almost as an afterthought (see Kenney/McGovern 2003). However, for digital preservation to be sustainable, technical solutions have to be embedded in an organizational framework complementing and supporting the technical side. This is also acknowledged in many (self-) audit tools emphasizing questions of policy and institutional investments (understood not exclusively in the financial sense). Accordingly, in this session we would like to focus on the organizational processes that have to accompany the implementation of technical solutions to preserving digital assets. A particular emphasis will be put on sharing with the audience experiences made by archives or other institutions in the process of reviewing, assessing, and adapting their organizational frameworks for the objective of digital preservation. This includes processes of policy development, the documentation of preservation activities (e.g. for certification), change management, or professional development activities.</p><p class="bodytext">Kenney, Anne R./McGovern, Nancy Y.: "The Five Organizational Stages of Digital Preservation."

2013-05-30: D5: Perspectives: Challenges for Multi-Disciplinary Research Data Infrastructures
Session theme/info: <p><span>The flood of digital data, which arises from studies in the social sciences or results from satellite missions in earth or space sciences, is growing rapidly. The permanent storage and its provision for future generations of researchers represent a challenge to the entire science system. However, many questions still remain unresolved. Financial aspects, organizational and technology issues in creating multi-disciplinary research data infrastructures, as well as the legal and political framework need to be clarified. These challenges will be discussed in the context of this session, which will take the form of a discussion panel introduced by four presentations. The data life cycle will serve as guideline for the presentations which take a closer look at its specific challenges. The overall objective is the development of a multidisciplinary research data infrastructure. The first presentation describes the Private Domain, i.e. the challenges in handling the data deluge from the perspective of the scientist. The second presentation takes a closer look at the Group Domain represented by VREs. The third presentation deals with challenges of the Persistent Domain such as cost structures and risk management. The session will conclude with a presentation about challenges of the Public Domain and present best practices.</span></p>

2013-05-30: E1: IFDO: Institutional Data Policies in 40+ Countries
Session theme/info: <p><span>In 2012 and early 2013, International Federation of Data Organizations (IFDO) carried out an expert survey on research funders' data policies in 40+ countries. The survey aims to give an overview of the frequency and of the quality of such requirements and the guidelines which promote data sharing. IFDO has produced a summary report of the findings to present and discuss at IASSIST 2013. What types of requirements are in use, why and how do funders in some countries enforce data sharing, and why have research funders in some countries chosen softer options such as recommendations, or no data policies at all? The first half of the session will consist of an introductory presentation of the survey findings, accompanied with three case presentations on different country/funder specific policies. The second half of the session runs as a panel discussion of the presenters. The session is organized by Sami Borg with the IFDO Board. Session participants: 2 IFDO board members and 3 invited speakers for country cases. IFDO board presenters will be Vigdis Kvalheim and Hans Jørgen Marker.</span></p>

2013-05-31: F3: Panel: Virtual Research Environment for Research in the Social Sciences
Session theme/info: <p><span>In times of growing usage of social network tools, collaborative workspaces and collaborative tools could also be applied to support scientific research. The application possibilities are manifold. Exchange between students or researchers working in the same research area; members of a joint project located in different regions; or users accredited to use the same data source. Such environments should enable researchers to share knowledge and documents as well as enable collaborative work on program code and articles. Virtual Research Environments (VRE) offer such functionalities. VREs could easily work as unrestricted platforms for the exchange of freely available information. A second layer is needed when enabling users to share knowledge within a restricted environment. For example: researchers that are first looking for information about research data and subsequently work with research data under restricted access modalities. VRE functionality can be used under both circumstances, but different security restrictions need to be applied. The presentations within the session will discuss the needs for and advantages of a VRE; provide feedback from running solutions and highlight technical and legal challenges as well as solutions related to the implementation of a VRE.</span></p>

2013-05-31: G1: Learning to Curate: Lessons from an ICPSR Pilot
Session theme/info: <p><span>For six months in 2012, six brave and curious data folks at five ICPSR member institutions (Duke University, Emory University, Stanford University, and the Universities of California at Berkeley and Los Angeles) embarked together (virtually) on a pilot to curate their faculty-produced data for sharing and long-term preservation. Learning from each other, as well as from data Sherpa (Jared Lyle, ICPSR), they covered topics including data acquisition, disclosure review, metadata, processing, and dissemination. However, the real value and anchor of the pilot was learning to use the suite of ICPSR data curation tools in a Secure Data Environment to process real data from each of their institutions. They were able to put theory and ideas into actual practice, and produce curated data sets for deposit at their own institution's repositories or archives, as well as at ICPSR. During this session, the pilot participants will share their experiences, lessons learned, and hopes for the future.</span></p>
