Breakout 1 Socio-legal etc.

• Every discipline wil be different each
  datacentre will have diff answers to questions.
  Use questionnaire and send to data centres.
• Promote use interop thro metadata standards
  resource discovery standards should be promtoed
  dev by learned societies/ (membership arms)
  subject communities by disciplines (not data
  curators). Bottom up rather than top down. (not
  JISC!)
• Education recognise v wide range of understaing
  amongst disciplines re value of data curation
  centres/IRs/archives need go out and prmote why
  they exist and why should be used. Focus at p/g
  community.
• Political issue every research council should
  havce a written data policy, written,
  disseminated and policed. Some have them but not
  policed, need more meatier than 7-8 words.
• Legal issues value of JISC legal centre but
  like clairty of law where law existis re use of
  digital objects, IP etc need clarity of law and
  guidance on how best to interpret it. Model
  licences ffro use, interprtation,
  confidentiality, disclosure.
• Academics data centre people need to b told
  differences between data banks/data centres etc
  and IRs. IRs have not had enough institutional
  buy-in. like to know/JISC to investigate why
  subject repositoires more successful than IRs.
  JISC policy should reflect what is happening on
  ground. controversial!
• Comment clarity of law is not easy hope for
  clarity of assretians to uphold. Need
  straightforward answers to straightforward
  questions!
• JISC should help sell IRs better

Breakout 2 Technical etc.

• Need to define what is meant by semantics of
  structured data and publish guidelines at levels
  of metadata, classiffication/subject
  areas/factial names/agreed conventions layerd on
  top e.g identifiers. Ie application profiles
  who should be keeper of those definitions eg
  registries who funds and owns them ?
• Scientists concentrate on narrow areas but
  connections are to toher areas
• Timeseries are dufferent how discover and use?
  More diffciult to defind discovery metadata for
  time series. Data might not be logically the
  same.
• Data curation responsility at institutional
  level/data centre data curation requires
  specialisms and data cnetres could feed this
  expertise back to institutions need flow of
  expertisefrom DCs to institutions
• Mixed economy re org reposnsibility is inevitable
  some federation will be there how to express
  quality role for provenance audit as a means to
  express quality also ranking and annotation
  liked levels 1-3 way of thinking about
  annotations
• Curation of data is of more ineterst to
  scientists than interoperability re
  marketing/selling it.

Breakout 3 RR

• Individual scientists to deposit data using
  domain standards of an acceptable quality
• Reuser should acknowledge where dat came from and
  if approp to imporive the quality of the data.
• Institution should have policies that mandata
  dposit in an appopiate place not neces IR
• Publishers/journals/editors should mandate open
  deposit of data.
• Curators who collect describe and connect data,
  idea of community proxy role (NSF ref) try to
  understand ontology of the domain and efine
  standards for domain working in and with the
  scientists
• Funders should enforce their data deposit
  policies where possiblem recognise emerging need
  for new infrastructure and provide aprop funding
  for new infrsstructure and for their resulting
  actions
• Feed back views on data to the data centre
  manager (not snivel in public meetings).
• Click use licence says if you enmhance the data
  you must give it back for us ESDS rule. But how
  police that policy by data centre? Versioning an
  issue here
• Good enough versus completely comprehensive
  descriptions (Graham C)
• Who is reposnsible for ownership of the data to
  do changes? If mutiple versions not necessarily
  last one is best look at annotation model
• Competeitve views re sabotage other groups work
  is possible.
• Who checks provence of anyrthing new? Curators?
