Personal Observations˃In 10 years at UPEI the team leveraged $5 million

in research funding and private donations to build institutional DRI and software

˃Also leveraged funding to build Islandora platform, part of international DRI (e.g. Jisc SS)

˃Demonstrated what can be done at an institutional level

˃Why not do this nationally to build a rich National Data Service?

groups, and research institutes, announced jointly … that they

would share any data or results that could be helpful in fighting

the spread of Zika.Zika threat prompts sweeping scientific collaboration. STAT, Eric Boodman. February 10, 2016

…concerned that this lack of formal recognition could dissuade others from rapidly sharing data during an outbreak.

> The Charge

What would happen to discovery and innovation - and society as a whole - if all research outputs were made publicly accessible

tomorrow?

“If 100 people look at the data that I work with, some of them will be interested in different things than I’m interested in. It’s not that I don’t think I’m smart, but I have my own particular point of view. Other people looking at the same data would ask different questions than I would and that might lead to something new.”

> Vision

Canadians have access to national and international collections of publicly-funded research data.

> Mission

Work with stakeholders to ensure research data is re-usable in support of innovation that benefits all Canadians.

Strategy˃Facilitate the development of a collection of

integrated National Data Services that support researchers through all stages of the research lifecycle and promote compliance.

˃Focus on enabling activities – increasing stakeholder alignment, promoting support for data reusability and/or addressing gaps in enabling technologies.

˃RDC is not a service delivery organization.
