FAIR and Responsible Research Data Management (FAIR-RRDM)
A Drexel Metadata Research Centre and CODATA workshop on knowledge sharing between research communities and research institutions
 
Sun 31 March and Mon 1 April 2019, Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA, as a colocated, pre-event to the 13th RDA Plenary
 The organisers and programme committee are pleased to announce the following keynotes speakers:
Lisa Federer, National Library of Medicine: FAIR Data at the National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health
Robert Hanisch, NIST: Let’s Make it Easy to be FAIR
Patricia Cruse, DataCite
Barend Mons, Professor at Leiden University Medical Center, Ambassador of GO FAIR, President of CODATA
See below for some further keynote information:
Lisa Federer: FAIR Data at the National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health
The National Institutes of Health recently issued a Strategic Plan for Data Science, which outlines five broad goals to enhance the biomedical community’s ability to conduct data-intensive science. Underlying these goals is the need to ensure that data and other research outputs are FAIR – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. As the world’s largest biomedical library and one of the institutes of the NIH, the National Library of Medicine plays a key role in realizing the goals of the Strategic Plan for Data Science. This talk will describe some of the activities at NIH and NLM to increase the FAIRness of biomedical data and other research objects.
 In addition, this talk explores the impacts of FAIR data by exploring how researchers actually reuse shared datasets. Using over 10,000 requests to use data from three NIH repositories, this study considered who requested datasets and how they intended to reuse them. In addition, the descriptions of the datasets themselves were analyzed to determine characteristics of highly used datasets that could be helpful in determining which datasets will be of high value early in the data life cycle. The findings of this study have implications for FAIR data management – better understanding how data are reused in practice will help ensure that they are managed, curated, and made accessible in ways that will maximize their usefulness to the research community.
About Lisa Federer
Lisa Federer is the Data Science and Open Science Librarian at the National Library of Medicine, focusing on developing efforts to support workforce development and enhance capacity in the biomedical research community for data science and open science. She serves on the editorial board of the Journal of the Medical Library Association and was the editor of the Medical Library Association Guide to Data Management for Librarians. She holds an MLIS from the University of California-Los Angeles, as well as graduate certificates in data science and data visualization, and is a PhD candidate in information science at the University of Maryland, focusing on biomedical researchers’ data reuse practices and characteristics of datasets that predict high use.
 
Robert Hanisch: Let’s Make it Easy to be FAIR
Those of us with roles in data management all firmly believe in the FAIR principles.  The data arising from publicly funded research should be considered a public good, and the value of that public good can only be realized by the data being FAIR.  In some fields of research, where data has been FAIR long before the acronym was invented, there is clear evidence for data re-use and increased research productivity.  In many fields, however, the situation is less clear and it is therefore challenging to convince researchers that making their data FAIR is worth the effort.  In many cases, as well, the tools and infrastructure needed to automate and sustain FAIRness are lacking, and it is only through making it easy—in fact, the default—to be FAIR that we will be able to confirm our belief that FAIR will both increase productivity and lead to more robust and innovative research.
About Robert Hanisch
Dr. Robert J. Hanisch is the Director of the Office of Data and Informatics, Material Measurement Laboratory, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland. He is responsible for improving data management and analysis practices and helping to assure compliance with national directives on open data access. Prior to coming to NIST in 2014, Dr. Hanisch was a Senior Scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, Maryland, and was the Director of the US Virtual Astronomical Observatory. For more than twenty-five years Dr. Hanisch led efforts in the astronomy community to improve the accessibility and interoperability of data archives and catalogs.
