4. “The NIH expects and supports the timely release and
sharing of final research data from NIH-supported
studies for use by other researchers.
“Starting with the October 1, 2003 receipt
date, investigators submitting an NIH application
seeking $500,000 or more in direct costs in any single
year are expected to include a plan for data sharing
or state why data sharing is not possible.”
Application Guide for NIH and Other PHS Agencies
5. “Investigators are expected to share with other
researchers, at no more than incremental cost
and within a reasonable time, the primary
data, samples, physical collections and other
supporting materials created or gathered in the
course of work under NSF grants. Grantees* are
expected to encourage and facilitate such
sharing.”
* Grantee = Research University or similar

17. REUSABLE DATA IS….
structured, versioned and well-documented
formatted for long-term access
archived (backed up and secure)
findable and citable
legally unrestricted or clear usage policy
19. Data Paper
“a formal publication whose
primary purpose is to expose and
describe data, as opposed to
analyze and draw conclusions
from it.”

20. “The objective of the Journal is to provide critically evaluated physical and chemical property
data, fully documented as to the original sources and the criteria used for
evaluation, preferably with uncertainty analysis.”
26. 1. Organize peer-review, establish quality-
control measures
2. Create citable entity
3. Establish cross-linking mechanisms with
traditional papers, to enforce separation of
concerns (methodology vs analysis)
27. 4. Specify required documentation to make data
re-usable, re-purposable
5. Apply standard interoperable legal license
(CC0 or PDDL with normative attribution or
CC-By with URI attribution)
6. Ensure archiving strategy in place
