2nd RDA Europe Science Workshop
→
Europe/Zurich
31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre (CERN)
Description
The purpose of the RDA science workshops is to listen to ideas and feedback on the issues around the utilization and interoperability of research data from a selected group of leading scientists as one group of stakeholders as an input to the RDA Europe in general and the RDA global activities in particular. RDA is also interacting with other stakeholders such as data professionals of different flavours, policy makers and research organizations to get input on urgent needs and priorities.
As for the first workshop of this sort the organizers will produce a summary document after the workshop with the main outcome to be taken further in Europe or on the global scale.

Q&A and Discussion about Reports 30m
-
Do you think that the take-‐up of Science WS recommendations by RDA EU is satisfactory? How could it be improved?
-
Do you think that RDA as it works now is sufficiently owned by researchers?
-
Are Data Sharing, Re-‐use and Interoperability issues of relevance for you and if so how?
-
Are mechanisms to improve trust with increasing data worldwide?
-
How can personal data be protected, or is that impossible? Do we need to simplify?
-
To what extent should the lead be undertaken by computer scientists or by users from other disciplines? How can the maximum benefit be obtained by balancing push and pull?
-
Do you agree with the major statements of the Data Harvest Report (summary see attachment)? If so, how can the recommendations be fully realised?
-
Do you agree with the major statements of the Data Practices Report (summary see attachment)? If so, how can current practice being changed?
-
Which are the main obstacles for you and your colleagues when working with research data and are they met in the reports?
-
Should initiatives such as RDA be core funded by the EC and member states working together?

Statements & Discussion - RDA Issues 1h 10m
-
It took up to 15-‐20 years between the definition of TCP/IP and its worldwide take-‐up by scientists, industry and societies. Can this huge time gap be avoided when talking about simplifying data re-‐use?
-
Do the 4 concrete results achieved within 18 months mean something to you and do they satisfy your expectations? If not what would you have expected as results? (see attached flyers)
-
Do the areas of activity meet your expectations or what is missing or not useful? (see attachment for a grouping of activities)
-
Does the start of the Data Fabric Discussion as an umbrella for discussing optimizations of the scientific data production and consumption machinery make sense to you? (see attached flyer)
-
Which technology trends do you see and how should they influence RDA activities?
-
What kind of infrastructure components would you see as so essential that RDA should try harmonization as early as possible to prevent fragmentation?
-
What kind of training and support actions would you like RDA Europe do to train more young data professionals and/or to foster the work in your discipline?
-
Would you like to participation in adoption projects which are funded to take up results in your environment?

Statements & Discussion - Data Science 1h 15m
-
Strong institutions seem to have enough resources (human, machines) to undertake data-‐ intensive work, but most researchers do not have a chance to participate? Is that something we can and should change and if so how?
-
Where are the biggest costs for doing data-‐intensive science and where is most of expensive specialist time lost?
-
How to efficiently cross discipline boundaries when looking for resources? Would an Open Data and Service Agora help to quickly find useful components or would you continue to rely on discussions with colleagues?
-
Which kind of cultural aspects (for example of sharing) need to be changed most and how can a change in culture be encouraged? Are there some fields of research where this could be easiest and act as examples? Does culture change come purely from scientists or are measures by funders required?
