The Dutch Approach to Research Data InfrastructurePeter Doorn (DANS), Marc Dupuis (SURF), Maurice Vanderfeesten (SURF)
ANDS Invitational Research Data Infrastructure Workshop, Prato, April 11-13, 2011
Data Archiving and Networked Services
&
Overview
- The context: Dutch research data infrastructures and policies
- The role of SURF and DANS: achievements- SURF- DANS
- Future plans and requirements
Dutch research data infrastructures and policies
- Recent attempts to formulate a coherent government policy failed
- Nevertheless, strong building blocks do exist:- National Roadmap for Large-scale Research Facilities (first version 2008)
- Netherlands Coalition for Digital Preservation (since 2008)
- Big Grid (2008-2012)- 3TU.Datacentrum (since 2008)- Netherlands eScience Center (started 2011)- SURF (since 1986)- DANS (since 2005)
National Roadmap
- Connected to ESFRI Roadmap- First version: 2008- 25 facilities in five research domains- Six funded so far, others on the way (M€ 20
p.yr.)- Data (management, storage, quality,
standards, linking, metadata) issues play an important role in the majority of the infrastructures
- Update next summer/autumn (additional M€ 80)
Netherlands Coalition for Digital Preservation (NCDD)
Public sector organisations whose remit includes long-term access to digital data:
- Royal Library- DANS- National Archives- Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision- Museum/cultural sector

Big Grid
- Collaboration between NCF, Nikhef and NBIC- Nation-wide grid-based e-Science research
infrastructure to manage the distributed data explosion- Grid-enabled data storage and processing facilities
- Human support for many scientific disciplines, ranging from particle physics and life sciences to social sciences and humanities
3TU.Datacentrum
- Center of Exellence of the 3TU.Federation (3 Technical
Universities
- Data archive specific for technical-scientific research
- Mission: permanent accessibility of technical-scientific
research data. Engaging data storage during research
programs and projects. And provide access to data stored
elsewhere in the world.
- Store: Long-term Sustainability provides Research
Reliability; Long term data management
- Access: Search and Reuse; access rights management
- Cite: DOI and DataCite ; labeling with a familiar brand
- Impact: connecting datasets to publications with Enhanced
Publications increases impact: info:doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0000308

Netherlands eScience Center
- Initiative by SURF and NWO (Research Funding Organisation for Dutch HE)
- Focus on multi-disciplinary and data-intensive scientific and scholarly research
- Stimulate innovation of research using ICT
- Link to eHumanities Group of KNAW (Royal Dutch Academy of Arts & Sciences)
- Budget is 6 M€ per year
SURF
- Dutch organisation for ICT in higher education and research (age: 25 years!)
- Membership organisation with over 60 members paying an annual fee
- Latest strategic plan covers the years 2011-2014- Main pillars of SURF:
- SURFfoundation (general innovation department)- SURFnet (high capacity academic network provider)
- SURFdiensten (services and licensing)- SURFfoundation’s three main programmes:
- e-Research- e-Learning- e-Administration
SURF e-Research data activities
SURF facilitates/supports/chairs/manages- Working group of repository managers- Research Data Forum
- Guidelines for storing and preserving data
- DiPPP (Data in Publicly Private Projects)- Explores implications of Open Access for research data and usage rights
- CARDS project- Supports researchers in storing and managing data
SURF and e-Research
- e-Research programme has its own multi-year programme
- Current SURFshare programme ends 31/12/11- Main fields of interest:
- Enhanced publications- Collaboratories- Infrastructure and architecture- Data management
Data Archiving and Networked Services
- Mission: providing permanent access to research data
- Founded in 2005 by the KNAW and NWO, but roots go back to 1964
- Focus area: humanities and social sciences (sociology, political science, geography, history, archaeology, language and literature studies)
- Discipline-independent activities and services: Data Seal of Approval, persistent identifiers, etc.

5 Criteria16 guidelines
The research data:- can be found on the
Internet- are accessible (clear
rights and licenses)- are in a usable format- are reliable- can be referred to
(persistent identifier)

Data Seal of Approval
Joint SURF-DANS activities
- Persistent Identifier Infrastructure (URN - PERSID)
- Knowledge Exchange - OpenAire- Research Data Forum- Several “Enhanced Publication” projects- Several studies & reports about aspects of
data infrastructure- Legal issues & data licenses- CARDS (Controlled Access to Research
Data Stored securely) project to find solutions for “orphaned data”
Challenges and policy priorities for the future
SURF:- Support researchers with enhanced publications
- Bring research data management (storage, preservation, access, sharing) in the centre of the focus
- Help HEIs to make appropriate use of cloud solutions
- Encourage further collaboration between HEIs in the national context
- Collaborate with international (primarily European) partners, in particular the Knowledge Exchange consortium (NL, DE, DK, UK)
Challenges and policy priorities for the future

DANS strategic goals 2011-2015:- Connecting content and community: data, publications, research informa-tion (researchers, projects, institutes)
- Expanding services to domains outsideof SSH (eg. technical universi-ties, healthcare research)
- Research into Data Life Cycle (creating, enriching, processing, storing, accessing)
- International collaboration in European & World Wide Research Infrastructures
