Open Science in the Data Decade
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010Dr Liz Lyon, UKOLN Director and Associate Director of the Digital Curation Centre, University of Bath, explores some of the opportunities and challenges of a data-driven world in a short article Open Science in the data decade in the latest issue of Central Government magazine. She describes aspects of open data including consumer-sharing of personal genomic information and citizen science, and contrasts this with the relatively closed data from much publicly funded research. Harnessing the capacity of the crowd in curating data and incentivising contributions through new credit frameworks are referenced. The activities of the JISC-funded Digital Curation Centre
in providing advocacy, good practice guidance and community training are highlighted, together with potential new data informatics roles for the 21st century. Liz is also author of the consultative report Open Science at Web-Scale: Optimising Participation and Predictive Potential.
