Data Sharing
• Several stages require critical attention to ensure effective
data sharing
Describe
document the data content, character and
process
Deposit
store the data in a location from which it can be
accessed
Preserve
select storage formats and media with long term
use in mind
Discover
publish information about the data so that
others can find it
Data Sharing
For the benefit of:
o the public
o the research sponsor
o the research community
o the researcher

Data sharing requires effort, resources, and faith in others.
Why do it?
A better informed public yields better decision making with
regard to:
Data Sharing

o Environmental and economic planning
o Federal, state, and local policies
o social choices such as use of tax dollars and education options
o personal lifestyle and health such as nutrition and recreation
• Organizations that sponsor research must maximize the
value of research dollars
• Data sharing enhances the value of research investments by
enabling:
o verification of performance metrics and outcomes
o new research and increased return on investment
o advancement of the science
o reduced data duplication expenditures
Data Sharing
Access to related research enables community members to:

Laboratory on Flickr
o build upon the work of others and further, rather than repeat, the
science4
o perform meta analyses that cannot be performed with individual
datasets or laboratories5
o share resources and perspectives so that comprehension is expanded
and enhanced5
Data Sharing
Access to related research enables community members to
(cont’d):
o increase transparency, reproducibility and comparability of results5
o expand methodology assessment, recommendations and
improvement6
o educate new researchers as to the most current and significant
findings6
Data Sharing
Scientists that share data gain the benefit of:

o research sponsor recognition as an authoritative source and wise
investment
o improved data quality due to expanded use, field checks, and
feedback
o greater opportunity for data exchange
o improved connections to scientific network, peers, and potential
collaborators

Even if the value of data sharing is recognized, concerns
remain as to the impacts of increased data exposure.
Data Sharing
Concern
inappropriate use due to
misunderstanding of research
purpose or parameters
security and confidentiality of
sensitive data
lack of acknowledgement / credit
loss of advantage when competing
for research dollars

Concern
Solution

provide rich Abstract, Purpose,
Use Constraints and Supplemental
Information where needed
security and confidentiality of
sensitive data
• the metadata does NOT
contain the data
• Use Constraints specify who
may access the data and how
lack of acknowledgement / credit
specify a required data citation
within the Use Constraints
loss data insight and competitive
advantage when vying for
research dollars

generalized Data Processing
Description
Data Sharing
Step One:
Create robust metadata that is discoverable
o specify geography and time periods
o use discipline specific theme, place and temporal keywords, thesauri,
and ontologies
o describe attributes
o include links to associated data catalogues, data downloads, project
websites, etc.
Data Sharing
Step Two:
Include archival and reference information
o properly formatted data citations for the data and all sources
o Universally Unique Identifiers (UUID) that uniquely identify your data
and help to link the data with the metadata
See the DataONE unique identifier guidance at:
http://mule1.dataone.org/ArchitectureDocs-current/design/PIDs.html
Data Citation Example: Sidlauskas, B. 2007. Data from: Testing for unequal rates of
morphological diversification in the absence of a detailed phylogeny: a case study from
characiform fishes. Dryad Digital Repository. doi:10.5061/dryad.20
Data Sharing
Step Three:
Have data contributors review your metadata to ensure validity
and organizational ‘correctness’?
o are the processes described accurately?
o are all contributions adequately identified?
o has management reviewed the product and documentation?
o is the funding organization properly recognized?
Data Sharing
Step Four:
Publish your metadata via:
Data Portals / Clearinghouses
Federal
o geodata.gov
o data.gov
o USGS Core Science Metadata Clearinghouse
(mercury.ornl.gov/clearinghouse)
Communities of Practice
o Knowledge Network for Biodiversity (KNB) Data Portal
o Long Term Ecological Research (LETR) Network Data Portal

Community or Public Cloud
• Document and publish data using standards
• Promote data use via presentations and meetings
• Solicit feedback from data users and address identified
issues
• Monitor publications and websites for data use and address
misapplications

• In 2003, a group of scientists from the National Institutes
of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, drug and
medical imaging industries, universities, and nonprofit
groups joined in a collaborative effort to find the
biological markers that show the progression of
Alzheimer’s disease in the human brain.
• The goal of this project was to do research on a massive
scale that would involve sharing and making accessible all
the data uncovered to anyone in the world with a computer.
• Dr. John Trojanowski an Alzheimer’s researcher at the
University of Pennsylvania stated, “It’s not science the way
most of us have practiced it in our careers. But we all
realized that we would never get biomarkers unless all of
us parked our egos and intellectual-property noses outside the door and
agreed that all of our data would be made public immediately.”

• Data sharing adds value to the data
• It is the responsibility of the researcher to share their data
• Metadata supports data accountability, liability, and
usability
• Sponsors expect, some require, data to be shared
• Data sharing is essential to the advancement of science
