EC Consultation Workshop "Skills and Human Resources for e-Infrastructures
within Horizon 2020", May 30, 2012
Human resources for e-Infrastructures operation and
maintenance / Data skills in short supply for e-
Infrastructures development
4. Current status: data skills
Training for data managers to support ‘data scientists’ is
in short supply at European level – especially within the
library context, as there is a lack of well-equipped and
up-to-date staff, tools and programmes.
Heterogeneity of data management maturity in Europe:
in some countries libraries are paving the way, in others
– central data curation centers, some countries have
none or very few activities.
5. Challenges
Depositing publications and data?
Changing nature of scholarship
Cross-discipline approach, attempt at a generic work-
flow, no one-size fits all for data
“...any roadmap for Open Access infrastructure must address
this natural tension between diversity and infrastructure”
Meier zu Verl, Horstmann (2011)
Role of Library? Trust, longevity, public, life-cycle
6. Researchers‘ Issues
Data publication and citation – is this important?
What licensing schemes to use?
What is the burden on the researcher?
At what stage of life cycle should we share data?
7. Desired developments
Data management training at a European level
(libraries+RDM organizations)
Good data practices
Data policies, standards
Definition of Roles and Responsibilities
8. How e-Infrastructure activity under
Horizon2020 could contribute?
Recommend actions to national organizations dealing
with research data management (RDM) to provide
training for RDM at institutional level
