PROJECT BACKGROUND AND SCOPE<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>ETH</str<strong>on</strong>g>-Bibliothek – the hybrid library<br />
• <str<strong>on</strong>g>ETH</str<strong>on</strong>g>-Bibliothek’s services are hybrid<br />
• They will remain hybrid for a l<strong>on</strong>g time<br />
• Weights shift c<strong>on</strong>tinously<br />
• Usage numbers underline growing dependence <strong>on</strong> digital<br />
resources<br />
• Reliability, citability and persistence of digital resources do<br />
not yet match their importance<br />
We need <strong>to</strong> do something…<br />

PROJECT BACKGROUND AND SCOPE<br />
… and we could do something for others, as well:<br />
• <str<strong>on</strong>g>ETH</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Zurich</str<strong>on</strong>g> guideline <strong>on</strong> integrity of research<br />
• Project managers must ensure that („primary‚) data is kept for as<br />
l<strong>on</strong>g as is appropriate for the discipline<br />
• No comm<strong>on</strong> <strong>to</strong>ol is available <strong>to</strong> support this<br />
• Irreplaceable data<br />
• Unique observati<strong>on</strong>al data in l<strong>on</strong>g c<strong>on</strong>tinuous timelines<br />
• Other data which is <strong>to</strong> be used for comparative research<br />
• Published and / or referenced data<br />
• Administrative records from <str<strong>on</strong>g>ETH</str<strong>on</strong>g> Archives<br />
• Library materials (born digital theses, digitizati<strong>on</strong> masters)<br />

• Accountability, re-assessment<br />
• Citability of data referred <strong>to</strong> in publicati<strong>on</strong>s<br />
DOI-registrati<strong>on</strong> already operati<strong>on</strong>al<br />
• Re-use could range from granting access <strong>to</strong> known<br />
colleagues <strong>to</strong> fully Open Data<br />
• Open Data?<br />

What do our potential cus<strong>to</strong>mers need and want?<br />
• Online survey with all professors<br />
• Questi<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> produced and used data, current data handling and<br />
possible offers from the library.<br />
• Pers<strong>on</strong>al reminders and talks<br />
• Several departments with answers from<br />
about 80% of addressees<br />
• <strong>Ex</strong>tremely heterogeneous degrees of awareness, understanding and<br />
willingness<br />
• Depending <strong>on</strong> disciplines and pers<strong>on</strong>s<br />

STATUS QUO OF DATA HANDLING<br />
Results from the survey and from interviews <strong>on</strong> current soluti<strong>on</strong>s:<br />
• „N<strong>on</strong>e“: Data <strong>on</strong> a file system and/or <strong>on</strong> offline media – <strong>on</strong>ly group<br />
leader can retrieve anything manually<br />
• Managed <strong>on</strong>- and offline s<strong>to</strong>rage including c<strong>on</strong>versi<strong>on</strong> <strong>to</strong> open<br />
formats (e.g. doc <strong>to</strong> rtf or txt) and periodic migrati<strong>on</strong> <strong>to</strong> new media<br />
• Supported applicati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> group level<br />
Capture data when produced, support handling, analysis and<br />
visualisati<strong>on</strong>, but not l<strong>on</strong>g term preservati<strong>on</strong> in a narrower sense<br />
There is awareness that data needs <strong>to</strong> be taken care of<br />
Preservati<strong>on</strong> must not be mixed up with initiatives for Open Data<br />

Researchers…<br />
13<br />
RESEARCHERS NEEDS<br />
• want <strong>to</strong> keep full c<strong>on</strong>trol at least of who accesses their data - even though<br />
they might theoretically be in favour of Open Data<br />
• need <strong>to</strong> re-arrange and select data prior <strong>to</strong> ingest, add documentati<strong>on</strong><br />
and legal documents<br />
• need <strong>to</strong> edit metadata and add data <strong>to</strong> <strong>on</strong>going series, e.g. annually<br />
• are interested in support for preservati<strong>on</strong> and quality c<strong>on</strong>trol (checklists,<br />
feedback <strong>on</strong> metadata…)<br />
• need <strong>to</strong> keep certain data for limited periods (e.g. 10 <strong>to</strong> 12 years)<br />
• see archiving needs often related <strong>to</strong> data and materials used for<br />
publicati<strong>on</strong>s and want <strong>to</strong> persistently reference them<br />
• make mixed statements c<strong>on</strong>cerning a data policy for <str<strong>on</strong>g>ETH</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
• want no additi<strong>on</strong>al workload<br />

• Previous assumpti<strong>on</strong>:<br />
14<br />
POSITION WITHIN THE LIFECYCLE<br />
• „Researchers w<strong>on</strong>‘t want us <strong>to</strong> interfere with their research and data<br />
management: Let‘s support them with advice and checklists during data<br />
producti<strong>on</strong> and otherwise <strong>on</strong>ly take over data at the end of the pipe.“<br />
• Statements from pilot partners:<br />
• „We need <strong>to</strong> be able <strong>to</strong> do some degree of data management<br />
before/while submitting material <strong>to</strong> the l<strong>on</strong>g-term archive and d<strong>on</strong>‘t<br />
want <strong>to</strong> use an additi<strong>on</strong>al <strong>to</strong>ol for that.“<br />
In some cases we might be closely in <strong>to</strong>uch with the research process<br />
and its data management.<br />
A good thing for the library, but demanding with respect <strong>to</strong> staffing<br />
and software.<br />

CHARACTERISTICS OF MATERIALS<br />
Research data Library objects<br />
• Only partly known c<strong>on</strong>text<br />
• Numerous formats<br />
• Often no standard formats<br />
• Third party producti<strong>on</strong>, can <strong>on</strong>ly<br />
be influenced over time<br />
• Few formalized metadata<br />
• Rights often not clear (ownership,<br />
use, publicati<strong>on</strong>)<br />
• Public access not necessarily<br />
wanted<br />
• Reservati<strong>on</strong>s with some<br />
producers<br />
06.-09.09.2011<br />
M. Töwe<br />
• Usually known c<strong>on</strong>text<br />
• Few formats<br />
• Mostly standard formats<br />
• Producti<strong>on</strong> can be influenced<br />
rapidly<br />
• Formalized metadata<br />
• Copyright situati<strong>on</strong> usually clear<br />
• Usually public access is desired<br />
• In-house: a certain degree of trust<br />
can be expected – or decreed
21<br />
RISKS PRIOR TO OBSOLESCENCE<br />
Serious risks need <strong>to</strong> be addressed during data producti<strong>on</strong><br />
• Unclear or frequently changing resp<strong>on</strong>sibilities<br />
Loss of meta-informati<strong>on</strong><br />
• Missing or incomplete documentati<strong>on</strong><br />
Loss of c<strong>on</strong>textual informati<strong>on</strong><br />
• Haphazard direc<strong>to</strong>ry and file structures<br />
Versi<strong>on</strong>ing issues, unc<strong>on</strong>trolled redundancies<br />
Occurrence of these and further risks can make l<strong>on</strong>g-term preservati<strong>on</strong> of<br />
any data questi<strong>on</strong>able<br />
Research is particularly pr<strong>on</strong>e <strong>to</strong> these risks due <strong>to</strong> its dynamic development<br />
and the high mobility of staff<br />

OBSERVATION<br />
• Meaningful re-use of research data will rely heavily <strong>on</strong><br />
c<strong>on</strong>textual informati<strong>on</strong> and structural relati<strong>on</strong>s<br />
• <strong>Ex</strong>haustive documentati<strong>on</strong> is required<br />
• There is a need <strong>to</strong> appraise, select and re-arrange objects prior<br />
<strong>to</strong> ingest and later in time<br />
Treatment and ingest of research data might have more in<br />
comm<strong>on</strong> with challenges in administrative archives than with<br />
those in typical library collecti<strong>on</strong>s<br />
Trying <strong>to</strong> keep this in mind for synergies in future development

CONSEQUENCES FOR THE USE OF ROSETTA<br />
• „Classical‚ metadata management<br />
• Support of supplementary documentati<strong>on</strong><br />
• C<strong>on</strong>figurati<strong>on</strong> of flexible workflows<br />
• Potential for data management prior <strong>to</strong> archiving?<br />

LIMITATIONS?<br />
• <strong>Rosetta</strong> supports important functi<strong>on</strong>s with a clear focus <strong>on</strong> l<strong>on</strong>g-term<br />
preservati<strong>on</strong> according <strong>to</strong> OAIS<br />
• <strong>Rosetta</strong> can <strong>on</strong>ly support preservati<strong>on</strong> when adequate staffing and an<br />
active preservati<strong>on</strong> management are in place<br />
• An active internati<strong>on</strong>al community is needed <strong>to</strong> collect, manage and<br />
share informati<strong>on</strong> and knowledge, e.g. <strong>on</strong> formats<br />
• Flexibility in data management partly c<strong>on</strong>tradicts the requirements of<br />
a stable preservati<strong>on</strong> envir<strong>on</strong>ment:<br />
Where should be the interface between data management and<br />
preservati<strong>on</strong>?<br />
What are the technical limitati<strong>on</strong>s?

STRATEGIC QUESTIONS FOR <str<strong>on</strong>g>ETH</str<strong>on</strong>g>-BIBLIOTHEK<br />
• Limit ourselves <strong>to</strong> c<strong>on</strong>tent preservati<strong>on</strong> in a narrow sense?<br />
Or – in the l<strong>on</strong>ger run and with appropriate partners:<br />
• Open up <strong>to</strong> support data management or…<br />
• … even support other functi<strong>on</strong>s within the research process? …<br />
• … e.g. virtual research envir<strong>on</strong>ments?<br />
Tempting, but even more challenging<br />
Heterogeneous envir<strong>on</strong>ment prevents comm<strong>on</strong> soluti<strong>on</strong>s<br />
Possible <strong>on</strong>ly with (very) str<strong>on</strong>g committment of <str<strong>on</strong>g>ETH</str<strong>on</strong>g>‘s board<br />
To be discussed based <strong>on</strong> experiences from the current project<br />

phase until the end of 2012<br />
• Specify and develop submissi<strong>on</strong> applicati<strong>on</strong> for library materials<br />
• Develop and implement submissi<strong>on</strong> applicati<strong>on</strong> for import of<br />
research data out of existing data management soluti<strong>on</strong>?<br />
If successful:<br />
• <strong>Ex</strong>tend coverage <strong>to</strong> more groups<br />
• C<strong>on</strong>vince the university‘s board <strong>to</strong> grant <strong>on</strong>going funding as part<br />
of their risk management
