"Developments in information and communication technologies are transforming the nature and scale of data-intensive research. The ease with which digital data can be stored, disseminated, and accessed by secondary users via information technologies encourages institutions to embrace the sharing of research data to increase its impact and visibility. The research community of Galicia needs to establish a policy that ensures that data and research derived from publicly-funded research is available and accessible for public use. Seeking to provide a framework for developing good practice to all research communities from Galicia (universities, research institutions, libraries, researchers, and research foundations), we prepare some principles, taking into account the need for sensitivity to issues related to access, integrity, transparency, professional responsibility, interoperability, and protection of intellectual property. In this work we move on several fronts: our acceptance of the principles of access and sharing of research data established by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD); the commitment to long-term preservation through the use and implementation of the Standard Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS); we insist on a good data management policy according with the data lifecycle, while defining roles and responsibilities of the different stakeholders in the process." |
