Module 8 Wiki Guide Best Practices for Biomedical Research Data Management Harvard Medical School, The Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine Module 8 Wiki Guide Learning Objectives and Outcomes: 1. Emphasize characteristics of long-term data curation and preservation that build on and extend active data management ● It is the purview of permanent archiving and preservation to take over stewardship and ensure that the data do not become technologically obsolete and no longer permanently accessible. ○ The selection of a repository to ensure that certain technical processes are performed routinely and reliably to maintain data integrity ○ Determining the costs and steps necessary to address preservation issues such as technological obsolescence inhibiting data access ○ Consistent, citable access to data and associated contextual records ○ Ensuring that protected data stays protected through repository-governed access control ● Data Management ○ Refers to the handling, manipulation, and retention of data generated within the context of the scientific process ○ Use of this term has become more common as funding agencies require researchers to develop and implement structured plans as part of grant-funded project activities ● Digital Stewardship ○ Contributions to the longevity and usefulness of digital content by its caretakers that may occur within, but often outside of, a formal digital preservation program ○ Encompasses all activities related to the care and management of digital objects over time, and addresses all phases of the digital object lifecycle 2. Distinguish between preservation and curation ● Digital Curation ○ The combination of data curation and digital preservation ○ There tends to be a relatively strong orientation toward authenticity, trustworthiness, and long-term preservation ○ Maintaining and adding value to a trusted body of digital information for future and current use. ○ Active management and appraisal over entire life cycle ○ Builds upon underlying concepts of digital preservation Best Practices for Biomedical Research Data Management Harvard Medical School, The Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine ○ emphasizes opportunities for adding value through annotation and continuing resource management ○ Preservation is a curation activity - both are concerned with managing digital resources with no significant (or only controlled) changes over time ● Data Curation ○ ‘Technology, Organization, Resources’ are the three “legs” of data curation. ○ The value added activities and features that stewards of digital content engage in to - make digital content meaningful or useful ○ Tends to be used in settings where coordinated efforts are made to care for data that have been generated from scholarly activities ○ Active and on-going management of data through its life cycle of interest and usefulness to scholarship, science, and education ○ Enables discovery, ensures quality, adds value, and provide for re-use over time [UIUC] ○ Predates the digital community ○ Value-added steps by curators to enhance utility ○ Intersection of research and curation ● Digital Preservation ○ Makes long-term access possible. ○ All of the activities an organization or individual engages in to ensure the long-term readability and usefulness of specified digital content ○ Combines policies, strategies and actions to ensure access to reformatted and born digital content regardless of the challenges of media failure and technological change 3. Explore the data curation role and its importance throughout the research data life cycle ● Digital Content Lifecycle: ○ Identify: what digital content do we have? ○ Select: what portion will be preserved? ○ Store: are there issues for long term storage? ○ Protect: what steps are needed to protect digital content? ○ Manage: are there provisions for long-term management? ○ Provide: are there considerations for long-term access? Best Practices for Biomedical Research Data Management Harvard Medical School, The Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine ● Lifecycle Management: ○ Connect the dots now and into the future ○ Link actions across units, workflows, content ○ Document ‘as is’ and define ‘to be’ workflows ○ Handshakes between stages, over time ○ Document conformance with good practice (standards and community norms) ○ Align practice for all content types ○ Develop and maintain skills ● Most data, and associated records, fall between short-term and long-term, and this is where the more difficult decisions will occur. Decisions are often driven by practical and pragmatic reasons, e.g. if at the end of your PhD you have to keep the data and records yourself you might choose to destroy a lot of material at the end of your PhD. ○ Data collection instrument: you might not need the instrument for the PhD study onceit has been completed. However, you might want to keep it to help in the design of instruments for future projects. ● Preprint submissions are not peer reviewed. The arXiv repository has inspired many other discipline specific archives, including bioRxiv, the preprint repository for the biological sciences hosted by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and ChemRxiv for chemistry, powered by figshare. 4. Review good practices for data curation and preservation ● A submission package has to be transformed into an appropriate format for long term preservation and access. ● Five stages of organizational response to digital preservation: ○ Acknowledge: Understanding that digital preservation is a local concern ○ Act: Initiating digital preservation projects ○ Consolidate: Segueing from projects to programs ○ Institutionalize: Incorporating the larger environment ○ Externalize: Embracing inter-institutional collaboration and dependency ● TDR: Trusted Digital Repositories ● OAIS: Open Archival Information System Reference Model, ISO 14721 Best Practices for Biomedical Research Data Management Harvard Medical School, The Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine ○ OAIS Reference Model is an ISO standard that formally expresses the roles, functions, and content of an archive ● PAIMAS: Producer Archive Interface Method Abstract Standard (PAIMAS), ISO 20652 ● PAIS (specification), ISO 20104 ● NISO Building Good Digital Collections ● PREMIS: Preservation Metadata Implementation Strategies ● BRTF: Blue Ribbon Task Force on Sustainable Preservation and Access ● TRAC: Trustworthy Repositories Audit and Certification, 2007 and ISO 16363 Open Access Readings: ​ The Open Data Imperative: How the Cultural Heritage Community Can Address the Federal ​ Mandate, by Suzie Allard, Christopher Lee, Nancy Y.

  • Collecting and Preserving Digital Materials
    COLLECTING AND PRESERVING DIGITAL MATERIALS A HOW-TO GUIDE FOR HISTORICAL SOCIETIES BY SOPHIE SHILLING CONTENTS Foreword Preface 1 Introduction 2 Digital material creation Born-digital materials Digitisation 3 Project planning Write a plan Create a workflow Policies and procedures Funding Getting everyone on-board 4 Select Bitstream preservation File formats Image resolution File naming conventions 5 Describe Metadata 6 Ingest Software Digital storage 7 Access and outreach Copyright Culturally sensitive content 8 Community 9 Glossary Bibliography i Foreword FOREWORD How the collection and research landscape has changed!! In 2000 the Federation of Australian Historical Societies commissioned Bronwyn Wilson to prepare a training guide for historical societies on the collection of cultural materials. Its purpose was to advise societies on the need to gather and collect contemporary material of diverse types for the benefit of future generations of researchers. The material that she discussed was essentially in hard copy format, but under the heading of ‘Electronic Media’ Bronwyn included a discussion of video tape, audio tape and the internet. Fast forward to 2018 and we inhabit a very different world because of the digital revolution. Today a very high proportion of the information generated in our technologically-driven society is created and distributed digitally, from emails to publications to images. Increasingly, collecting organisations are making their data available online, so that the modern researcher can achieve much by simply sitting at home on their computer and accessing information via services such as Trove and the increasing body of government and private material that is becoming available on the web. This creates both challenges and opportunities for historical societies.

    Preservation Is Not a Place 1 4th International Digital Curation Conference December 2008 Preservation Is Not a Place Stephen Abrams, Patricia Cruse, John Kunze California Digital Library, University of California December 2008 Abstract The Digital Preservation Program of the California Digital Library (CDL) is engaged in a process of reinvention involving significant transformations of its outlook, effort, and infrastructure. This includes a re-articulation of its mission in terms of digital curation, rather than preservation; encouraging a programmatic, rather than a project-oriented approach to curation activities; and a renewed emphasis on services, rather than systems. This last shift was motivated by a desire to deprecate the centrality of the repository as place. Having the repository as the locus for curation activity has resulted in the deployment of a somewhat cumbersome monolithic system that falls short of desired goals for responsiveness to rapidly changing user needs and operational and administrative sustainability. The Program is pursuing a path towards a new curation environment based on the principle of devolving curation function to a set of small, simple, loosely-coupled services. In considering this new infrastructure the Program is relying upon a highly deliberative process starting from first principles drawn from library and archival science. This is followed by a stagewise progressesion of identifying core preservable values, devising strategies promoting those values, defining abstract services embodying those strategies, and, finally, developing systems that instantiate those services. This paper presents a snapshot of the Program’s transformative efforts in its early phase. The 4th International Digital Curation Conference taking place in Edinburgh, Scotland over 1-3 December 2008 will address the theme Radical Sharing: Transforming Science?.

Prospect and Findings Roberta Galici 1, Laura Ordile 1, Michele Marchesi 1 , Andrea Pinna 2,* and Roberto Tonelli 1 1 Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Cagliari, Via Ospedale 72, 09124 Cagliari, Italy; [email protected] (R.G.); [email protected] (L.O.); [email protected] (M.M.); [email protected] (R.T.) 2 Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (DIEE), University of Cagliari, Piazza D’Armi, 09100 Cagliari, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 7 March 2020; Accepted: 7 April 2020; Published: 10 April 2020 Abstract: We present a novel strategy, based on the Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) process, to collect data from a blockchain, elaborate and make it available for further analysis. The study aims to satisfy the need for increasingly efficient data extraction strategies and effective representation methods for blockchain data. For this reason, we conceived a system to make scalable the process of blockchain data extraction and clustering, and to provide a SQL database which preserves the distinction between transaction and addresses. The proposed system satisfies the need to cluster addresses in entities, and the need to store the extracted data in a conventional database, making possible the data analysis by querying the database. In general, ETL processes allow the automation of the operation of data selection, data collection and data conditioning from a data warehouse, and produce output data in the best format for subsequent processing or for business. We focus on the Bitcoin blockchain transactions, which we organized in a relational database to distinguish between the input section and the output section of each transaction.
