EDINA and Data Library are a Division within Information Services (IS) of the University of Edinburgh – Established in 1996 EDINA is a Jisc-funded centre for digital expertise providing national online resources for education and research. – Digimap – an online web mapping and data delivery service providing access to a range of maps and spatial data from Ordnance Survey, British Geological Survey, UK Hydrographic Office – Free for staff and students at subscribing UK tertiary education institutions. – EDINA: http://edina.ac.uk/ Context
Past Services & expertise: • Geodoc, 2008 – 2016. Geospatial metadata creation and publication tool • GoGeo, 2008 – 2016. Geodiscovery portal for the discovery of georeferenced data and resources • Scottish Spatial Data Infrastructure Discovery Service (SSDI), 2009-2016. Discovery and metadata service for Scottish geospatial resources. • Unlock, 2009 – 2016. Georeferencing placenames and geographic data searching
Data Library & Consultancy assists Edinburgh University users in the discovery, access, use and management of research datasets. • Data Library Services: http://www.ed.ac.uk/is/data-library Edinburgh DataShare is the University’s OA multi- disciplinary data repository hosted built on the DSpace platform • Assists researchers who want to share their data, get credit for data publication, and preserve their data for the long-term (DOI, licence, citation) • Certified a trusted digital repository via Data Seal of Approval (Aug. 2015) • Edinburgh DataShare - http://datashare.is.ed.ac.uk
MANTRA • MANTRA is a self-paced online training course for PGR’s and early career researchers in research data management issues. http://datalib.edina.ac.uk/mantra • March 2016 - UNC-CH CRADLE and MANTRA launched the Research Data Management and Sharing MOOC - https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-management • RDM training in the form of workshops, seminars and drop in sessions to help researchers with RDM issues • Formal training includes Handling data using SPSS; Visualising data using ArcGIS / QGIS; Publishing and sharing sensitive data
The Data Library is part of the new cross- divisional University of Edinburgh Research Data Service (RDS) RDS is the culmination of a 48 month RDM Roadmap (Phases 0 - 4) to implement the University’s RDM Policy and develop a suite of RDM Services that map onto the research lifecycle (completed July 2016) RDM Programme: •Funded internally (c. 1.7 Million Euros) •75% - infrastructure / storage •25% - staffing (recurrent for 3 years) RDM Roadmap: http://www.ed.ac.uk/files/atoms/files/uoe-rdm-roadmap_-_v2_0_0.pdf
A Jisc-funded pilot project produced 6 case studies from research units across the University of Edinburgh which audited Research data assets using the DAF methodology developed by the Digital Curation Centre. Data Audit Framework (DAF) Implementation Pilot (May – Dec 2008) Main outcomes: • Develop university research data management policy • Develop services & support for RDM (in partnership IS) • Develop online RDM guidance & RDM training DAF Implementation Project: http://ie-repository.jisc.ac.uk/283/
University of Edinburgh RDM Policy • University of Edinburgh is one of the first Universities in UK to adopt a policy for managing research data: http://www.ed.ac.uk/is/research-data-policy • The policy was approved by the University Court on 16 May 2011. • It’s acknowledged that this is an aspirational policy and that implementation will take some years.
In 2012 an RDM Policy Implementation Committee was set up by the VP of Knowledge Management charged with delivering services that will meet RDM policy objectives: • Membership from across Information Services • Iterate with researchers to ensure services meet the needs of researchers The VP also established a Steering Committee led by Prof. Peter Clarke with members of the Research Committee from the 3 colleges, IS, and the Research Office Their role was to: • Provide oversight to the activity of the Implementation Committee • Ensure services meet researcher requirements without harming research competitiveness Governance
Policy implementation: RDM Roadmap Before research During research After research

Editor's Notes

  1. First of its kind in the UK – primarily within the social sciences but not exclusively so 2 data library services – this morning I’ll concentrate on Edinburgh Datashare Advise on storing, versioning, documenting, formatting and anonymising researchers’ data for sharing or preserving for future use in an archive or repository
  2. Training for postgraduates and early career researchers  These  were  the  School  of  Divinity,  School  of  History,  Classics  and  Archaeology),  School of Biomedical Sciences),  (School  of  Molecular  and  Clinical  Medicine),   (School  of  Physics  and  Astronomy).  Also,  the  School  of  Geosciences
  3. Funders have policies, responsibilities fall to the university as well as the researcher Researchers are mobile Institution and researcher must work together, define the responsibilities Awareness raising within university of practicalties
