split into three groups
23rd April 2015 First Workshop Jisc Research Data Discovery Service Project Christopher Brown Gathering Requirements and Use Cases We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. 2 Afternoon agenda » …. » 13:00 - 14:30 Gathering requirements for a Discovery Service and defining an initial set of use cases - Discussion Groups » 14:30 - 14:45 Tea/Coffee break » 14:45 - 15:45 Reporting back and discussion » 15:45 - 16:00 Wrap up and questions 3 Workshop Objectives » » » » » Introduce the team Bring pilot HEIs and Data Centres together Communicate the project’s objectives and plan Gather requirements for a Discovery Service Define an initial set of use cases 4 Aims and Objectives » Break into three groups » Use requirements gathered in pilot workshop as initial set › Are these still valid? › What detail is missing › What requirements are missing? » Use cases/stories › Define an initial set based on different perspectives of stakeholders » Drink tea/coffee » Report back and discuss 5 Use Cases – User Stories » Simple narratives that focus specifically on an interchange or interoperability » » » » » step in a business process As defined in Wikipedia a user story is “one or more sentences in the everyday or business language of the end user or user of a system that captures what a user does or needs to do as part of his or her job function. It captures the 'who', 'what' and 'why' of a requirement in a simple, concise way, often limited in detail by what can be hand-written on a small paper notecard.” A typical template for such user stories is: › "As a <role>, I want <goal/desire> so that <benefit>“ Iterative process, doesn’t have to be perfect, can be refined later What use cases, both for human and system interfaces, can be defined for a Research Data Discovery Service? Volunteers to take ownership of use cases 6 Stakeholders HEIs holding or developing research data collections Discipline-specific Data Centres Institutional research data managers and research support officers Researchers and their representative bodies Research Funders Non-HE consumers of research data in for-profit and non-profit enterprises International organisations, e.g. RDA Greater visibility and discoverability of data held in UK universities. Potential greater visibility and discoverability of data held by data centres and promotion of cross-disciplinary reuse. A Research Data discovery service would direct users to data centres rather than take them away. Improved national coordination of metadata approach helps these stakeholders; supporting universities in better meeting funder requirements and promoting data assets. Greater visibility for research data; promotes easier association of traditional publications and research data as called for by the Royal Society and research funders. Better overview of data outputs from funded research, focus on detailed information about research data is complementary to existing research outputs/outcomes systems (Gateway to Research, RCUK Research Outcomes System, etc); potential for increased impact through data reuse. Greater discoverability of research data held in UK universities and elsewhere, which may have use outside the HE sector. A UK-wide Discovery Service and outputs from this work will be of interest internationally as a potential solution in other countries. 7 Groups Group 1 Group 2 Christopher Brown, Jisc Laura Molloy, DCC Michael Latham, University of Hull Stuart Lewis, University of Edinburgh Adrian Cox, University of Southampton Katie Green, Archaeology Data Centre David McElroy, University of East London Veerle van den Eynden, UK Data Archive Catherine Grout, Jisc Mick Eadie, University of Glasgow Rachel Proudfoot, University of Leeds Ian Bruno, Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre Michael Charno, Archaeology Data Centre Carlos de Silva, UCA Group 3 David Wilson, DCC Alex Ball, DCC John Kaye, Jisc Paddy McCann, University of St Andrews David Tomkins, University of Oxford Tom Griffin (STFC), ISIS/ICAT Jez Cope, Imperial College Jim Halliday (STFC), Energy Data Centre 8 Thank you “Our revels now are ended…” 9 Find out more… Christopher Brown Senior Co-design Manager, Jisc christopher.brown@jisc.ac.uk @chriscb Except where otherwise noted, this work is licensed under CC-BY-NC-ND 10
