SUMMARY:HMC FAIR Friday: The WorldFAIR project with Dr. Simon Hodson & Dr. Arofan Gregory
DESCRIPTION:Date: Friday\, 1 December 2023\, 13:00 CEST \n\n\n\nSpeakers: Dr. Simon Hodson & Dr. Arofan Gregory \n\n\n\nThe next lecture will take place on 1 December 2023 at 13:00 CEST featuring Dr Simon Hodson (Executive Director of CODATA) and Dr Arofan Greogry (Chair of the DDI Cross-Domain Integration working group) who introduce us to the objectives of the WorldFAIR project led by CODATA and RDA. The WorldFAIR project is working with several case studies to promote the implementation of the FAIR principles and espacially to improve the interoperability and reusability of digital research objects. During the presentation\, special attention will be paid to the interoperability framework that is being developed for each use case. \n\n\n\nTo stimulate and support interdisciplinary exchange\, the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) in close cooperation with the Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy (HIDA) is organizing the HMC FAIR Friday lecture series. It is aimed at experienced actors in research data management as well as scientists from all research fields of the Helmholtz Association and beyond. \n\n\n\nHMC FAIR Friday features talks by high-ranking national and international speakers to bring all participants (even) closer to the world of FAIR data\, deepen individual aspects and stimulate discussions.

SUMMARY:WorldFAIR Output Webinar Series: Guidelines & Recommendations from Cultural Heritage and Social Surveys
DESCRIPTION:The following reports will be presented in this webinar: \n\n\n\nCross-national Social Sciences survey best practice guidelines \n\n\n\nA proposed workflow for the processing of data harmonisation of social surveys\, that takes account of the practical steps required to bring diverse content together in a machine-actionable way\, and that could best take advantage of external registered\, persistent content. This workflow considers the core steps involved in the harmonisation process\, key issues that occur in the processing of data during this process\, and potential resolutions of these issues. These resolutions are all oriented towards improving FAIR practices in the harmonisation process – through the use of reusable\, accessible metadata structures that can both improve processing consistency for current projects\, and be applied to future harmonisation projects \n\n\n\nCultural Heritage image sharing recommendations report \n\n\n\nThis report builds on our understanding of what it means to support FAIR in the sharing of image data derived from GLAM collections. This report looks at previous efforts by the sector towards FAIR alignment and presents 5 recommendations designed to be implemented and tested at the DRI that are also broadly applicable to the work of the GLAMs. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: Steven McEachern (WP6)\, Beth Knazook (WP13) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the case study on Social Surveys \n\n\n\nComparative studies in social science are relatively well-established\, with strong traditions of sharing data across countries to establish multi-national comparative data sets for studying cultural\, social and political variations in attitudes and institutions. The EU-funded European Social Survey has regularly conducted cross-national surveys of social attitudes of the European population since 2002. \n\n\n\nMore recently\, the ESS has been partnering with a number of researchers outside the EU to establish satellite studies of the ESS in Australia\, Japan and South Africa. The extension of practices to these countries provide a new opportunity to compare and harmonise practices and technologies\, focusing on Interoperability and Reusability. \n\n\n\nThis case study undertakes a comparative study of the data management\, harmonization and integration practices of one of the satellite countries – Australia\, through the AUSSI-ESS – and the core ESS\, an ERIC social science infrastructure. It leverages the DDI metadata standards to understand how such multi-national collections could be made increasingly interoperable and reusable through shared procedural and technical development\, and establish a set of guidelines and tools for the development of cross-national collections into the future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the case study on Cultural Heritage \n\n\n\nCultural Heritage collections in Galleries\, Libraries\, Archives and Museums (GLAMs) provide the input for research in a range of disciplines. Online digital image sharing practices and policies established by leading institutions and professional bodies charged with providing care and access to cultural memory are well established\, but serve to support accessibility and interpretability\, and not specifically interoperability or reusability as data for the research process. This case study looks at how GLAM practices that support image sharing can be brought into closer alignment with the FAIR principles for research data to support a growing need for cultural heritage data.  \n\n\n\nSeveral global image-sharing communities/platforms exist online and these communities provide large (but not very FAIR) datasets and crucial networks for coordination. \n\n\n\nThe sharing of visual sources in particular has challenges around copyright\, but also increasingly around what is being represented by the images and their associated metadata (i.e. surrogate vs original) as the sector undergoes a paradigm shift to consider its Collections as Data. The GLAMs have many well-established metadata standards and vocabularies\, and persistent identifiers also exist\, however compared to the output of the other research disciplines being examined as part of the WorldFAIR project\, GLAMs specifically\, and Humanities disciplines more generally\, have comparatively less-developed data sharing cultures.The Digital Repository of Ireland\, a CTS-certified repository for arts\, humanities and social sciences (AHSS) data\, has played a leading role in aligning the work of the cultural heritage sector with FAIR (see the DRI’s position statement on FAIR and Open Science). Through this case study\, the DRI will produce a mapping report of existing policies and practices that support image sharing across diverse collecting institutions\, develop a set of broadly applicable recommendations for shifting these practices into closer alignment with FAIR\, and implement the recommendations at the Repository. Establishing FAIR practices in the GLAM sector would have a very significant effect on the sharing of cultural heritage data\, and on the research data management practices across the arts\, humanities and social sciences disciplines\, making this case study itself multidisciplinary and multisectoral. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can also watch the recording of the first webinar by Work Packages 6 and 13 below.

SUMMARY:Optimising FAIRness of federated Data Discovery & Access Service and underpinning Blue Data Infrastructures
DESCRIPTION:Times in CET \n\n\nThe following webinar organised by the Blue-Cloud project may be of interest. \n\nThe EU pilot Blue-Cloud project combined developing a marine thematic European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and serving the Blue Economy\, Marine Environment and Marine Knowledge agendas. It deployed a versatile cyber platform with smart federation of multidisciplinary data repositories\, analytical tools\, and computing facilities in support of exploring and demonstrating the potential of cloud based open science for ocean sustainability. Since early 2023\, the Blue-Cloud 2026 project aims at a further evolution into a Federated European Ecosystem to deliver FAIR & Open data and analytical services\, instrumental for deepening research of oceans\, coastal & inland waters. Blue-Cloud 2026 aims at providing a European core data and knowledge service next to EMODnet and Copernicus Marine\, and major component for the Digital Twins of the Oceans (DTO’s). \n\nOne of the core services of the Blue-Cloud ecosystem is a Federated Data Discovery & Access Service (DD&AS)\, which gives a common discovery and access to the data and data products as managed and provided by a series of leading European marine data management and research infrastructures\, so-called Blue Data Infrastructures (BDIs). \n\nThe webinar will give information about the Blue-Cloud initiative and more details about the architecture and approach for the Blue-Cloud DD&AS. More information will be given about the Blue-Cloud 2026 activity for optimizing the FAIRness of the DD&AS and the web services of its federated (BDIs). Moreover\, it will provide insight how a few BDIs are managing their networks of data originators in order to provide harmonised and FAIR discovery and access to their collected data resources\, using and promoting best practices and standards. \n\nThis webinar was organised with the support of Ocean Best Practices initiative. \n\nREGISTER NOW \n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nDick M.A. Schaap – MARIS\n\n\n\nPeter Thijsse – MARIS\n\n\n\nThierry Carval – Ifremer\n\n\n\nYann-Herve DE ROECK – EuroArgo\n\n\n\nDominique Obaton – Ifremer\n\n\n\nRaul Bardaji – EMSO\n\n\n\nAgenda (draft)\n\nWednesday 6 December 2023; 10.00am-12pm CET  \n\n\nTimeSessionPresenter10:00 – 10:10Introduction Blue-Cloud 2026 projectDick Schaap – MARIS & Blue-Cloud10:00 – 10:30  Data management and provision by EuroArgo –Argo ocean observing systemThierry Carval .
