Agenda
Help Desk
- All issues have been addressed. Thank you!!!
NIH Trustworthy Data Repositories workshop
- Chris attended last week (April 8th and 9th)
- Focus on Core Trust Seal certification (https://www.coretrustseal.org/)
- As FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) applies to data, TRUST (Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology) applies to data repositories
- 16 (+1) requirements
- Context (R0)
- Organizational Infrastructure
- (R1) Mission/Scope
- (R2) Licenses
- (R3) Continuity of access
- (R4) Confidentiality/Ethics
- (R5) Organizational infrastructure
- "The repository has adequate funding and sufficient numbers of qualified staff managed through a clear system of governance to effectively carry out the mission."
- (R6) Expert guidance
- Digital Object Management
- (R7) Data integrity and authenticity
- Adequate tracking of data and metadata provenance and changes (deposited data vs. disseminated data)
- (R8) Appraisal
- "The repository accepts data and metadata based on defined criteria to ensure relevance and understandability for data users."
- (R9) Documented storage procedures
- (R10) Preservation plan
- (R11) Data quality
- (R12) Workflows
- (R13) Data discovery and identification
- (R14) Data reuse
- (R15) Technical infrastructure
- "The repository functions on well-supported operating systems and other core infrastructural software and is using hardware and software technologies appropriate to the services it provides to its Designated Community."
- (R16) Security
- (R7) Data integrity and authenticity
- Application process
- Self assessment reviewed by two volunteer reviewers from Core Trust Seal reviewer pool
- Self assessment (and subsequent review) applies a level-of-compliance score from 0-4 for each requirement
- 0 : Not applicable
- 1 : The repository has not considered this yet
- 2 : The repository has a theoretical concept
- 3 : The repository is in the implementation phase
- 4 : The guideline has been fully implemented in the repository
- Scores of 3 or 4 for each requirement in order to be accepted
- Examples of accepted certification applications
- UniProt just applied
- Said it took 2-3 months calendar time (not full time effort; essentially only one person); already had most of the requested documentation
- Costs
- 1,000 Euros application fee; lasts three years
- Covers five (5) rounds of review (most accepted after 2 or 3 rounds of review)
- Benefits?
- Potential discounts from Amazon or Google for having certification
- STRIDES (Science and Technology Research Infrastructure for Discovery, Experimentation, and Sustainability) Initiative
- Will help researchers implement cloud services
- Already have Alliance as a test case
- Strength on future grant applications and/or renewals
- Collaborators may be more inclined to share data and/or resources
- Improved documentation of plans and workflows
- Improved transparency for our users
- Potential discounts from Amazon or Google for having certification
- May want for Alliance more than for WormBase at this point
- NOT yet a requirement being imposed by funding agencies like the NIH/NHGRI
- NIH and NIH program officers want input from repositories; is this a good idea?
