Intro - Aim & purpose of the tool
This tool is the output for Task T4.4 that aims to mainstream concrete certification standards, tools and mechanisms for open research data management and certification schemes for data repositories, aligning with activities and results of INFRAEOSC-5c. It targets both data intensive RDM (through cloud compute) and the curation and handling of the long tail of science with the aim of establishing consolidated models of RDM activities in the target countries. Building on the work undertaken in T4.2 and T4.3, this task delivers a certification tool for supporting trustworthiness of data repositories and ensuring their FAIRness in a standardised and interoperable fashion, with the objective to support the onboarding of repositories to EOSC.
Specifically, this is a tool that facilitates the clearance of rights (copyright) for datasets that are to be cleared before they are publicly released under an open licence and/or stored at a publicly trusted FAIR repository. It allows the crowd-sourced documentation of the clearance process.
- Data clearance not bound to the user that initiated the procedure, so it can be started and finished by different users.
- Potentially include crowd-source clearance.
- Clearance metadata will be an open-source resource.
Targeted use
The intended use of the tool is to provide a guided approach for establishing the proper open-source licence required for the creation of a new (or synthetic) dataset, or for the re-use of an existing unlicensed one. The procedure takes into account many potential data managers (users initiating or completing a data clearance procedure). Potential users may be researchers and research organisations.
Workflows
Overall Architecture
Version features
- Initial version provides a proof-of-concept workflow.
- Will initially provide guidance for existing standard open-source licenses only.
