I) Thou shalt … Know your Data
• Make the Scientists aware of …
• Understand your data assets:
• How was it collected/generated?
• How is it formatted? Is formatting consistent?
• How is it stored?
• Are there missing values? If so, which ones, why?
• Where/how can you process it?
• Are there duplicated values, codes?
• Over 80% of time is spent cleaning data
• Missing metadata
• Provenance & versioning
• How can experiments be re-done?

III) Thou shalt … Embrace Open Access by Default
• Make the Scientists & the Management Board aware of …
• The importance of having an E2E metadata workflow in
place, i.e. & a.o., for each publication have your Authors
& Organizations rigidly formalised (thus, formalise the
metadata at the Source)
