Final Results of the Repository Audit and Certification DSA WDS Partnership WG Certification of Digital Repositories: Reaping the fruit and sowing the seeds RDA Plenary 7, Tokyo, 3 March 2016,
Outline 2 Where we are? Where were we? Where next?
Where are we? Outputs - 1 3 Common Requirements Organisational infrastructure Context Mission / Scope Continuity of access Confidentiality / ethics Expert guidance Organisational infrastructure Licences Digital object management Data integrity and authenticity Appraisal Preservation plan Data discovery and identification Documented storage procedures Data quality Workflows Data re-use Technology Technical infrastructure Security http://tinyurl.com/pm9sflp
Where are we? Outputs - 2 4 Common procedures Implementation introducing requirements in partnership URLs to evidence strongly encouraged Maturity ratings strongly encouraged Assessments to be publicly available Renewals every three years Three entry points for certification: (DSA, WDS, and new website) Successful completion means certification in both DSA and WDS Sustainable Review Process Pool of reviewers (training provided) Approved by the new DSA WDS Certification Board Mutual Governance Process http://tinyurl.com/os6vb94
Where are we? Outputs - 3 5 Testbed Real-world evaluation of Common Requirements and Procedures Develop common testbed, and surrounding organizational framework, for peer review and certification... [to] provide practical insight into the proposed common WDS DSA catalogue and review process, thus enabling iterative improvements to those procedures Tested by 6 organisations Diverse set of repositories and services represented Procedures will follow agreed processes as much as possible Comments from testers feeding in to improving Common Requirements and Common Procedures Draft report almost ready first version completed
Where were we? - 1 6 Data Seal of Approval 16 guidelines for Trustworthy Digital Repositories (data producers/repositories/consumers) DSA granted for a period of 2 years 49 seals acquired, some 50 underway World Data System Assessment to allow membership 17 criteria Review every 3-5 years ~50 members
Where were we? - 2 7 DSA and WDS came together in a WG under the auspices of the RDA Interest Group on Repository Audit and Certification Goal was to harmonize core certification requirements and procedures, ultimately setting the stage for a global shared framework including other standards Broader goal: to inspire trust, which is at the heart of sharing and archiving data. Trust among: Users, Depositors, Funders Understand threats to and risks within its systems Encourage regular cycle of audit and/or certification
Where were we? - 3 8 Working Group Members Lesley Rickards (UK, PSMSL, WDS-SC) [Co-chair] Mary Vardigan (USA, ICPSR, DSA Board) [Co-chair] Kevin Ashley (UK, Digital Curation Centre) Michael Diepenbroek (Germany, Pangaea, WDS-SC) Ingrid Dillo (The Netherlands, DANS, DSA Board) Fran oise Genova (France, CDS, WDS-SC) Herv L Hours (UK, UK Data Archive, DSA Board) Guoqing Li (China, CEODE, WDS-SC) Jean-Bernard Minster (UCSD, and Chair of WDS Scientific Committee) Paul Trilsbeek (The Netherlands, MPI for Psycholinguistics, DSA Board) Eleni Panagou, Ph.D. Candidate in Web Engineering, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece [RDA Early Career Researcher]
Where next? - 1 9 Finalise testbed report Positive comments: clear and understandable structure seems to be more suitable stronger emphasis on documented procedures and plans easier to meet the common requirements but some need a more detailed description and evidence. Further work needed: clarify the cross-disciplinary nature of the requirements - explaining ethical considerations further define outsourcing services clarify the subtle differences between the task of evaluating technical quality and the issue of research quality further explain data management and OAIS repository concepts repetition of requests (e.g. for metadata information) guidance on maximum length of answer
Where next? - 2 10 DSA and WDS formally adopt and implement Core Common Requirements Resolve Needed items in the Common Procedures document Consider Data Services and Networks Conduct outreach to publishers Explore linkage with re3data.org Conduct outreach to other standards like nestorSEAL and ISO
Where next? - 3 11 Towards a global certification framework
