In deze publicatie geeft het Rathenau Instituut feitelijke informatie over het belang en de betekenis van het Europese onderzoeksbeleid en met name de European Research Area (ERA) voor het wetenschappelijk onderzoek in Nederland.

The report “Selection of Research Data” contains general guidelines on how to determine what research data should be preserved for the long term and what data should not. These guidelines can be used by individual researchers or research groups, researchers who co-operate within a collaboratory, research institutes, university faculties and national or international organisations focusing on a specific scientific/scholarly discipline and bodies funding research. The checklist is also suitable for use by managers of archives, research repositories, and heritage institutions. This study shows the situation in the area of selecting research data, based on a survey of the literature, interviews with key players and the experience gained by DANS and the 3TU Data Centre. The main issues are considered. The most important reasons for preserving research data for the long term have been formulated. The checklist based on these can be used as a guide for creating guidelines for specific scientific/scholarly disciplines. The report also describes the various roles of people involved in selection. Attention is paid to the best moment in the digital life cycle of research data for selecting them.

This report was produced in the context of the project Data Service Infrastructure for the Social Sciences and Humanities (DASISH) work package 4.3 Convergence of Data Services. The goal has been to allow the selection and promotion of high-quality deposit services for researchers in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) and to make suggestions for service improvements.

Publishing research data as open data is not yet common practice for researchers in the arts and humanities, and lags behind other scientific fields, such as the natural sciences. Moreover, even when humanities researchers publish their data in repositories and archives, these data are often hard to find and use by other researchers in the field. This report gives an overview of the various aspects that are connected to open access publishing of research data in the humanities. After the introduction, where we give definitions of key concepts, we describe the research data life cycle. We present an overview of the different stakeholders involved and we look into advantages and obstacles for researchers to share research data. Furthermore, a description of the European data repositories is given, followed by certification standards of trusted digital data repositories. The possibility of data citation is important for sharing open data and is also described in this report. We also discuss the standards and use of metadata in the humanities. Finally, we discuss best practice example of open access research data system in the humanities: the French open research data ecosystem. With this report we provide information and guidance on open access publishing of humanities research data for researchers. It will also serve as input for the design and implementation of an open humanities data platform in DARIAH.

Dit rapport presenteert de resultaten van een eerste inventarisatie van grootschalige onderzoeksfaciliteiten in Nederland en geeft daarmee een momentopname van het Nederlandse landschap van faciliteiten voor ‘big science’.

The Social Sciences and Humanities Open Marketplace - marketplace.sshopencloud.eu -, built as part of the Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud project (SSHOC), is a discovery portal which pools and contextualises resources for Social Sciences and Humanities research communities: tools, services, training materials, datasets, publications and workflows. The Marketplace highlights and showcases solutions and research practices for every step of the SSH research data life cycle. These flyers presenting the SSH Open Marketplace can be used for printing or online dissemination.

Straipsnyje aptarti tiriamojo projekto „Egodokumentinis Lietuvos palikimas“ (lietuviškas akronimas Legedok. angliškas – Legedoc), vykdyto Vilniaus universiteto 2010-2013 m. kartu su Mikalojaus Koperniko universiteto (Torunė, Lenkija) mokslininkais, rezultatai. tarp svarbiausiųjų paminėtini: problemų, kuriant Legedok duomenų bazę išaiškinimas, paieškos sistematizacija, egodokumentinio palikimo klasifikacija, darbas ruošiant ir išleidžiant fundamentalius šaltinius. Pati Legedok idėja gimė Bordo (Prancūzija), kur 2008 m. vyko konferencija „Asmeninė korespondencija Europos kontekste“. Egodokumentų paieška buvo sėkminga. Nustatyta, kad iš 84 valstybinių Lenkijos archyvų lituanistinė medžiaga yra 16 archyvų, juose peržvelgti ir giliau ištirti 84 [rankraščių] kompleksai. Egodokumentų Lietuvoje surasta ne tik giminių fonduose ir dokumentų kolekcijose, bet ir valstybinių institucijų (pvz. Lietuvos Vyriausiojo Tribunolo knygose) fonduose. Vykdant šį projektą, išleisti 4 leidiniai: straipsnių rinkinys „Egodokumentai ir privati erdvė Lietuvoje XVI-XX amžiuje“, „Apaštališkas Juozapo Mikalojaus Karpio laiškas Žemaičių vyskupystės kunigams“, „Mykolo Butlerio kelionės į Italiją ir Vokietiją 1779-1780 m. dienoraštis“ ir „Juozapo Jurgio Hilzeno kelionės 1752-1754 m. dienoraštis“. Šios knygos leidžiamos kaip serija, kuri bus tęsiama. Ateities perspektyvoje yra galimybė prisijungti prie prie mokslo informacinių ir kultūrinio palikimo struktūrų ne tik Lietuvoje, bet ir Europoje.
