- Title
Improving Opportunities for New Value of Open Data: Assessing and Certifying Research Data Repositories.
- Authors
DOWNS, ROBERT R.
- Abstract
Investments in research that produce scientific and scholarly data can be leveraged by enabling the resulting research data products and services to be used by broader communities and for new purposes, extending reuse beyond the initial users and purposes for which the data were originally collected. Submitting research data to a data repository offers opportunities for the data to be used in the future, providing ways for new benefits to be realized from data reuse. Improvements to data repositories that facilitate new uses of data increase the potential for data reuse and for gains in the value of open data products and services that are associated with such reuse. Assessing and certifying the capabilities and services offered by data repositories provides opportunities for improving the repositories and for realizing the value to be attained from new uses of data. The evolution of data repository certification instruments is described and discussed in terms of the implications for the curation and continuing use of research data.
