New policies & services 1.1 Policies and documentation In anticipation of the renewal of the Data Seal of Approval, that is succeeded by the new CoreTrustSeal, we have updated some policies and documentation and created new ones: - Preservation policy - Data collection policy - List of preferred formats - Guidelines for creating a README file 1.2 Data funds This year we introduced two funds to support researchers with their research data management: the Data Refinement Fund and the Data Paper Fund. The Data Refinement Fund offers researchers a budget to make their valuable research data available online by refining their data for proper discoverability and reusability. With the Data Paper Fund 4TU.ResearchData promotes publishing of data papers by funding the publishing costs. 1.3 NetCDF data services This year we started exploring our options for providing services related to netCDF data. Atmospheric and environmental research data form the bulk of the content of the 4TU.ResearchData archive. Most of these datasets are coded in netCDF, a data format that is especially suited to store multi-dimensional array-oriented data. In the report that we will write we will be assessing the opportunities for creating not just technical services related to storing and archiving NetCDF, but for advice and guidance, and the advantages that could accrue from being recognised as a source of data in the area. 2 ZpL(t&ZpL(t%{בCט{u׉׉ 7cassandra://oedLVV0aMcVhJM9InSSSBm5-DXt65vJwwb191RKlk4s` ׉ 7cassandra://7AtOt-kQwHSFUfGNwH58x_NHwMDvaUYnTgZz92JdQIEͤG`׉ 7cassandra://A_nqNfPDIP8F_FPj7FHP6jncAP1m5MYky8rH0en89982`j׉ 7cassandra://N7fFzvlPZ_xYRTYD4b9dZABN8ygO91vEFOtFGGpcOLYiN͠ ZpL(t1נZpL(t'RX%9׉H.http://www.researchdata.nl/en/services/course/Gׁ ׁ r׉E!4. FAIR data FAIR Data Principles research project We worked on a IDCC17 practice paper and a Excel spreadsheet that includes an overview of 37 evaluated research data repositories in context of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable) data principles. With this research project we wanted to test the effectiveness and relevance of the FAIR Data Principles. Simultaneously, analyses how easy it is for data archives to adhere to the principles. The research was a part of the CESAER TFOS-RDM working group. Pre-print Paper: https://zenodo.org/ record/321423#.Wl9YXfCnFEY Spread sheet: Evaluation of data repositories based on the FAIR Principles for IDCC 2017 practice paper We also analysed our own archive in the context of the FAIR Principles. This review focuses on the metadata that describes each dataset rather than the data sitting within each dataset. FAIR Principles - review in context of 4TU.ResearchData 5.Essentials Training Essentials for data support This year we organised three rounds of our RDNL Essentials 4 Data Support course, which resulted in another 40 educated data supporters. In February we coordinated a Trainthe-Trainer version. In this one-day workshop we focused on how we organized our course and the content to a blended training.‘ For two institutes: The Nederlandse Vereniging voor Technische Geneeskunde (NVvTG) and Fontys Hogescholen, we organised an inhouse datamanagement training. And at the LIBER conference in July we held a presentation on the FAIR aspects of the Essentials 4 Data Support training. 7 ׉ 7cassandra://SLDPATy_0lDQ-VwPwnjPWDPxn3WKw_CSW6z0mqA3dMs4`jZpL(t@׉EPicture: Fred van der Zwan - Electronic designer at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science TU Delft ZpL(tAZpL(t@{#Highlights 2017 - 4TU.ResearchData O4TU.Centre for Research Data (short 4TU.ResearchData) Highlights report of 2017ZpL&p
