Enabling Researchers to share and manage their data with ease is one of the top priorities of the Open Science movement, with widespread implications for reproducibility and reliability of data. At the forefront of efforts to make the process easier is the California Digital Library. Their work on the DMPTool platform has allowed researchers to create and manage data more effectively through the use of Data Management Plans. This week, join Rory and Maria Praetzellis, Product Manager, Research Data Management, at the California Digital Library (CDL) In this conversation, Maria offers insight into the crucial work of the California Digital Library, which collaborates system-wide with all of the various University of California campuses and research facilities. The scale of their task is staggering, with the University of California contributing to around 10% of the academic research and development activity in the United States. Rory and Maria discuss the scale of the task, and the CDL's vision and approach to tackling some of the complexities associated with it. Among the tools and projects that the CDL is developing is the DMPTool, which allows Researchers to associate, manage and share their data more effectively. Maria gives us some background information on the origin of the DMPTool, its history thus far, and a better look at the CDL's role in the early development of DMPTool. Another interesting topic in this conversation is the new NIH Data Management & Sharing Policy, which mandates the sharing of data and creation of data management plans, for the purpose of making research data more available and useful. The new policy has already begun to impact how researchers, data librarians, grant officers and research integrity officers are collaborating and is generating growing interest and involvement from Institutions towards DMPTool. Maria shares how data librarians and researchers are preparing for the upcoming policy implementation, and gives us some insight into the activity of the research community in California. Another key tool that the CDL is developing in order to facilitate sharing is the Dryad Repository, and Maria is currently fulfilling the role of Interim Product Manager for Dryad right now, so she has a fantastic understanding of the project's goals, long term vision and steps being taken towards achieving that vision. That's not all, find out more about the CDL, its projects aimed at improving research data management and sharing practices, and how the research community is collaborating to meet its evolving needs by joining Rory and Maria in this insightful conversation packed full of the latest news, including what developments are likely to occur in the next two to three years in this space!
This week Rory joins Annette Strauch-Davey, Research Data Manager at the Hildesheim University Library! Before getting into Annette's work, Rory brings up Annette's use of Welsh, German and English, and asks about her time in Wales, as well as the aspects of Welsh Culture and History that Annette found particularly appealing. Annette talks about how her work at open air museums in Wales influenced the direction of her interests towards digital preservation and Research Data Management. Moving on, she describes her current role at the University Library at the University of Hildesheim, including the role of the RDMO data management plan and the Dataverse repository in the RDM environment at Hildesheim. Rory asks about Annette's inspiring bottom up approach and Annette goes into her interactions with researchers at the University of Hildesheim and the role advocacy plays in those interactions. To conclude this brilliant and interesting discussion, Rory and Annette discuss the trends and likely developments in Research Data Management emerging at German universities and libraries, as well as the activity occurring in research consortiums and at the institutional level!

DTL019 Research Data Management Stel je voor je beheert als onderzoeksprogramma de laadtransacties van 60% van alle publieke laadpalen in Nederland. Dan heb je naast een interessante dataset voor onderzoek ook een hele verantwoordelijkheid. Het onderzoeksprogramma Urban Technology van de Hogeschool van Amsterdam beheert de data van meer dan 10 miljoen laadtransacties van ongeveer 200,000 EV gebruikers en 11,000 openbare laadpunten in opdracht van de 4 grote Nederlandse gemeenten. Met de data wordt het gebruik van de laadpalen door medewerkers van de gemeenten gemonitord en het EV beleid verder uitgewerkt. Het onderzoek richt zich op de ontwikkeling van simulatie modellen voor toekomstige uitrol van laafinfra. De Dataloog spreekt met Simone Maase (Project manager), Ilse Vogel (Data Engineer) en Martijn de Hamer (functionaris gegevensbescherming) over Research Data Management bij de HvA. We praten over hoe de data beheerd wordt, hoe de AVG hierop van toepassing is en natuurlijk data engineering. Want als je een data engineer aan tafel hebt…
This is a short interview episode from the poster session at the Open Science Conference 2019. In this episode Konrad talked to Kerstin Helbig (@FrauHelbig on Twitter), a research data coordinator from Humboldt-University Berlin. She presented the talk and poster Getting Through the Maze – Reusable Strategies and Tools for Research Data Management providing insights about the project FDMentor, which aims to develop tools for a strategy development for research data management, as well as models for institutional research data policies and respective consulting and training concepts.
As the amounts of research data are ever-growing and data value becomes even more important with respect to data sharing and reuse, the organization and management of data is an incredible important task. The Research Data Management Organiser (RDMO) is a tool developed to solve this task, enabling researchers to plan and manage their research data across the entire research data life cycle. Jochen Klar from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) told us more about it at the Open Science Conference poster session.
