From pilot to project

Building on the pilot work (phase 1) to lay the firm foundations for a UK Research Data Discovery service that enables the discovery of UK research data and meets Jisc’s customer requirements. Includes a test service, service operation plan and business case for its delivery into the future.» Project page – http://jisc.ac.uk/rd/projects/uk-research-data-discovery » Project blog – http://rdds.jiscinvolve.org/wp/ » #jiscRDDS

Phase 2 (Mar 2015 – Sept 2016)

Governance structure – user input» User group

› Provide feedback on the project progress and deliverables, ask questions and share experience

» Technical and metadata advisory group› Looking at the service from a technical standpoint and advising

on the development of the metadata schema» User group – researchers

› As the overall aim of the project is production of a service to provide improved discoverability of research data for reuse in research, it is critical that we provide a mechanism for researchers to interact with and feedback on the development of the service

Benefits – Why?» Increased visibility and transparency of research data helps:

› Promotion of HEI/Data Centre’s research› Re-use and sharing of data› Validation of research

» Discovery is an important layer in research data infrastructure» Reducing the barrier to participation in research by making the data

discoverable» Satisfying RCUK mandates and policies for open access to publicly-

funded research – providing a sector wide solution (will be part of Research Data Management Shared Service)

» Potential increase in cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional research

» Supporting research across the research lifecycle (as part of Research @ Risk)

Project to service» Engage with participants through workshops and online meetings» Gather user stories for a Discovery Service» Choice of CKAN software following evaluation (CKAN and ANDS)» Statement of Requirements - prioritised and refined through advisory

groups

» Alpha site - http://ckan.data.alpha.jisc.ac.uk/ » System testing and gathering feedback» Develop business case for service

Current issues» Quality and completeness of metadata exposed by different HEIs and

Data Centres» Diversity in mandatory and optional metadata fields» Open access, licences and copyright» Access to external data source may require a log in» Updates of harvested metadata to handle deletions/changes» Usability of the discovery service» Ensure functionality matches requirements

Current focus» Alpha -> Beta (http://ckan.data.alpha.jisc.ac.uk/)

› Agile, rapid development of functionality against requirements and system testing

» Metadata (http://bit.ly/1QZVMCo) › Finalising the core metadata schema with participants / advisory

groups / research community » Scope of datasets (http://bit.ly/1Yy4MSy)

› Ensuring there is agreement on what datasets are harvested
