Big effort to share big data
Author(s): John Blau
A new global initiative to promote wider sharing of re search data promises to change the
scientific publishing culture. The Research Data Alliance (RDA), which is developing an
open Internet platform structured much like the World W ide Web, aims to enable greater
collaboration among scientists of all discipli nes and from all parts of the globe through the
use and reuse of data. Its mission, say the founders, is to unlock the innovation potential of
research data by encouraging and enabling scientists to publish the data underlying their
research results.
The move comes amid growing demands in the research community for tools that allow
researchers not only to share their data, but also to manage and make use of the huge
volumes of data being generated through literally billions of computers, sensors, and other
connected devices--a development known as Big Data. The aim, said John Wood, the
European Union cochairman of the RDA, speaking in a recent webinar, is to ensure that
when scientists seek access to the data of their peers, "this data is available to them in a
format they can use."
RDA, which was supported in its earlier stages by Europe, the United States, and Australia,
faces no shortage of challenges, experts agree. The technical challenges begin with the
need for a common framework to assure interopera bility. For instance, the various elements
of this new scientists' web--the various codes, policies, standards, and practices --need to
be harmonized to allow data sharing. And that infrastructure, says Francine Berman, who
chairs the RDA in the United States, needs to span not only countries and continents, but
also scientific disciplines and industrial sectors --"anywhere there is interest in data-driven
innovation, which is practically everywhere."
Then there are the various responses to the idea of shari ng. Scientists, commercial
research interests, and governments are at odds on the issue. A growing number of
governments in industrialized nations are demanding open access to research outputs from
publicly funded research and development projects. In 2012 , for instance, the European
Commission committed to the Open Data movement, arguing that information already paid
for by taxpayers "should not be paid for again each time it is accessed or used" and should
benefit European businesses and citizens "to the full."
In February, the U.S. government announced a new open -access policy requiring
publications from taxpayer-funded research to be made free to read after a year's delay.
That policy expands the National Institutes of Health (NIH) approach, which, unti l now, has
applied only to work in the biomedical sciences. The White House move came just a week
after FASTR (Fair Access to Science and Technology Research), a bill that would speed
release of publicly funded research to just six months and expand the re ach of the policy,
was introduced in the U.S Congress. Within the EU, the United Kingdom has led the way,
declaring that all research funded through the nation's research councils must be made
freely and openly available to anyone around the world; the pol icy went into effect on April
1, 2013.
