Research Motivation

Two Maj or Goals 1. Bridge gap between data reuse and digital curation research 2. Determine whether reuse and curation practices can be generalized across disciplines

Data reuse research Digital curation research Disciplines curating and reusing data

Our interest is in this overlap.

Research Questions

1. What are the significant properties of data that facilitate reuse by the designated communities at the three sites? 2. How can these significant properties be expressed as representation information to ensure the preservation of meaning and enable data reuse?

(Trusted Digital Repositories: Attributes and Responsibilities 2002 )

  • Funct ionalit y, relat ionships, appearance (Coyne et al. 2007)

  • Comput ing environment and usage (Morrissey 2010)
  • Purpose and use (Ashley et al. 2008)
  • Interest in determining the range of significant

properties a trusted repository might have to accommodate

Research Questions

  • What are the significant properties of data that

facilitate reuse by the designated communities at ICPS R?

  • What differences do the attributes of a trusted digital

repository (TDR) make to researchers using data from that repository?

  • What at t ribut es of TDRs as out lined in TRAC do researchers care

about ?

  • How do t heir percept ions about reposit ories influence t heir

propensit y for dat a reuse?

Research Methods

  • Outline concepts in reuse & curation literatures
  • Map TDR attributes in IS

O TRAC to concepts

  • Develop hypotheses –

In progress

  • Operationalize concepts –

In progress

  • Administer survey to ICPS

Overview of ISO TRAC Areas of Focus1

  • Organizational Infrastructure
  • “ charact erist ics of t he reposit ory organizat ion t hat affect

performance, account abilit y, and sust ainabilit y.” (p. 9)

  • Digital Obj ect Management
  • “ reposit ory funct ions, processes, and procedures needed t o

ingest , manage, and provide access t o digit al obj ect s for t he long t erm.” (p. 21)

  • Infrastructure & S

ecurity Risk Management

  • “ adequacy of t he reposit ory’ s t echnical infrast ruct ure and it s

abilit y t o meet obj ect management and securit y demands of t he reposit ory and it s digit al obj ect s.” (p. 43)

Example of Data Context ISO TRAC 4.2.5.2

ISO TRAC p. 4-11 “ The repository shall have tools or methods to determine what Representation Information is necessary to make each Data Obj ect understandable to the Designated Community.” Quote from CBU07

“ [… ], like t he quest ions on abort ion, t hey have changed

experiment s t o figure out bet t er wordings, so like half

Example of Delivery Context ISO TRAC 4.5.1

ISO TRAC p. 4-23 “ The repository shall specify minimum information requirements to enable the Designated Community to discover and identify material of interest.” Quote from CBU08

“ [… ] like wit h t he religious affiliat ion dat a, I've looked and looked [… ] but [… ] I don't even t hink I found a good t opical subj ect cat egory [… ] S

Example of Repository Context ISO TRAC 4.2.9

ISO TRAC p. 4-15 “ The repository shall provide an independent mechanism for verifying the integrity

  • f the repository

collection/ content.” Quote from CBU03

“ S

  • t here’ s like a [reposit ory

Example of User Context ISO TRAC 3.3.1

ISO TRAC p. 3-5 “ The repository shall have defined its Designated Community and associated knowledge base(s) and shall have these definitions appropriately accessible.” Quote from CBU09 “ Because I am so novice in these areas, I would heavily value the opinions

NEXT STEPS

SLIDE 26

Does Trust Matter? 26

  • Trust in the data
  • Reposit ory cont ext –

perceived t rust wort hiness of t he source

  • Relevance of the data
  • User cont ext - charact erist ics of t he user environment (e.g.

t ask, experience level)

  • Quality of the data
  • Dat a cont ext - significant propert ies of t he dat a t hat make it

fit for use

  • Ease of use of the data
  • Delivery cont ext –

perceived effort needed t o access and get support for dat a

What contributes to decisions to reuse?

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Does Trust Matter? 27

  • Data producer –

reputation of the person who

  • riginally collected the data
  • Repository –

reputation of the institution providing access to the data

  • 3rd party –

reputation of an independent entity endorsing reuse of the data (e.g. faculty advisor, Data S eal of Approval Board)

Focusing on Trust – 3 Sources

slide-28
SLIDE 28

Does Trust Matter? 28

Example Hypotheses

  • For expert users, the reputation of the data producer

will be significantly more important in their decision to reuse data than the reputation of the data repository or recommendations from a trusted 3rd party.

  • For novice users, recommendations from a trusted 3rd

party will be significantly more important in their decision to reuse data than the reputations of the data producer or the data repository.
