Responsible data management embodies the FAIR principles of making data
findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. FAIR has helped focus
minds and provided readily adopted terminology and guidelines, which in
turn will help realise the benefits of accelerated analysis, with machines,
at scale. In consequence, research communities and research institutions
are faced with the task of rising to the challenge of FAIR and responsible
data management.

Advancing the adoption of FAIR requires sharing protocols, practices,
policies, methodologies, and approaches for responsible data management.
The open science and open data movements have made significant progress in
certain research communities and domains, but less so in others. While good
practices have been developed within some research communities, it is in
research institutions and universities that data management and some long
term stewardship must take place. Sometimes reluctantly, research
institutions have been obliged to take greater responsibility for research
data management by the needs of researchers and their communities on the
one hand and by the requirements of national funders on the other.

There are opportunities for knowledge sharing and coordination across a
number of these axes: between research disciplines and communities; between
research communities and institutions; and internationally among
institutions.  The biomedical and genomics fields, for example, have made
considerable progress with data sharing and with issues of nomenclature and
semantics. Much research activity of the last two decades could not have
happened without community agreements on data sharing and mechanisms for
managing concepts, semantic specifications and ontologies.  Likewise, many
biomedical research domains are addressing the challenges of controlled
sharing of sensitive and restricted data, following the FAIR principles but
with respect to ethical and legal criteria where these prevent certain data
from being fully Open.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, data management
experts, policy leaders and to facilitate knowledge sharing between
research communities and between institutions.  Perspectives from all
domains and from research institutions are in scope. At least one session
will examine progress in the biomedical community and lessons to be learnt,
particularly in relation to good practice and mechanisms for controlled
sharing of sensitive and restricted data.
Outputs and Impact
The workshop will feature invited speakers and an expert panel discussion,
selected research and practice papers from an open call, a poster and
lightning talks session, as well as workshop sessions on mechanisms for
knowledge sharing and on issues of responsibility and sensitive data.
The workshop will:

   1. highlight and scrutinise innovative approaches and key developments
   fulfilling FAIR principles;
   2. promote broad interest and participation in the pursuit of solutions
   across disciplines and institutions; and
   3. identify concrete mechanisms for knowledge sharing between research
   communities and between research institutions.

The workshop builds on a successful Göttingen-CODATA Symposium on RDM in
Institutions which was held in March 2018 and like its predecessor will
result in a special collection of the CODATA Data Science Journal
<https://datascience.codata.org/>.


Call for Presentations and Posters/Lightning Talks
Submissions are to be made via the CODATA Conference Platform at:
*https://conference.codata.org/Drexel_CODATA_2019/
<https://conference.codata.org/Drexel_CODATA_2019/>*

The deadline will be 18 February and accepted speakers will be notified no
later than 1 March.

Recommended proposal lengths for the three categories of presentation are:

   - Long, research presentation, addressing the workshop themes by
   reporting on an original research activity: 800-1200 words
   - Short, practice presentation, addressing the workshop themes by
   reporting on a project or institutional activity: 400-800 words
   - Poster and lightning talk addressing the workshop themes: 300-600 words


After the workshop, selected presenters will be invited to submit a full
paper to the CODATA Data Science Journal
<https://datascience.codata.org/> where
they will form a special collection.


Workshop Themes / Sessions

   1. FAIR data: implications and responsibilities 1) for research
   communities and 2) for research institutions.
   2. FAIR data stewardship and knowledge sharing.  What progress has been
   made in RDM and FAIR data stewardship?  What can be learnt from biomedical
   research and from other domains?
   3. Limits of open data and how do deal responsibly with sensitive data.
   What can be learnt from biomedical fields and other fields for the
   controlled sharing of sensitive data?
   4. RDM, FAIR stewardship services and research infrastructures 1) for
   research communities and 2) for research institutions.  How are research
   communities and/or research institutions implementing research
   infrastructures for RDM and FAIR stewardship?  How are they tackling
   related and supporting issues such as: a) developing skills and capacity;
   b) addressing policy, legal and ethical issues; c) aligning strategies and
   priorities with FAIR and RDM responsibilities?
   5. Alignment of domain and institutional RDM and FAIR stewardship: What
   experiences exist and mechanisms are there for aligning domain and
   institutional RDM and FAIR stewardship? Examples of collaboration between
   research communities, domain research infrastructures and institutions will
   be particularly welcome.
