FAIR data from collection to exploitation

ongoing

According to the European Research Data Landscape – Final report, a survey involving almost 9,898 responders, highlighted some of the main barriers to management and sharing of research data: time, effort, storage, skills required, and the lack of recognition and data protection. RAISE Suite will develop a system specifically designed to remove barriers to data sharing, replacing technological achievements that do not influence researchers’ attitude towards sharing data. To do so, RAISE Suite will develop the solutions required to automate the process from data collection to dataset generation, guided by a FAIR-by-design principle to remove barriers such as perceived effort, time, as well as skills required for data sharing. At the same time, EOSC-RAISE will be integrated into RAISE Suite, for a platform which supports simple dataset sharing and exploitation, mitigating the sense of lack of recognition and data protection among researchers. Furthermore, RAISE Suite will implement a DMP-guided data collection and management policy. In particular, RAISE Suite will not only adopt a Machine Actionable Data Management Plan (ma-DMP), but further extend it to support designated actions, τurning the persistent identifier DMP-ID into the main reference point for the whole data lifecycle, following research activities, making the connections with underlying algorithms and data, and updating the DMP accordingly from collection, depositing and storing, to discovery, management, processing, reusing and exploitation. RAISE Suite capitalises on the results of a previously funded EC initiative. To this end, RAISE Suite will leverage work done by the EOSC-RAISE project, incorporating its technical platform that moves from open data to data open for processing, introducing the technology required to cover the data lifecycle from the data collection to the dataset generation.
