In recent years we have seen an increasing focus on publication and reuse of scientific data. These data are generated using public funding and it is in the interest of the authorities to maximise the benefit of investments in science. Furthermore, the data are a very important legacy of the science undertaken. As a consequence, national, regional (EU) and global requirements for free and ethically open access to data have emerged.
The Research Council of Norway has in recent years funded a number of research infrastructures that focus on publication, sharing and preservation of scientific data. Among these infrastructures there is a growing interest in traceability and provenance of scientific data. These two elements ensures proper credit (attribution) of data providers and confident use of data.
Within the geoscientific domain some of the relevant infrastructures are Norwegian Marine Data Centre (NMDC), Norwegian Scientific Data Network (NorDataNet) and Norwegian Satellite Earth Observation Database for Marine and Polar Research (NORMAP). In addition a pilot project (GeoAccessNO) looking at the scientific legacy in the context of data, software and publications has been looking at traceability from physical data to digital representations of these. At the European level, the H2020 project Integrated Arctic Observing System (INTAROS) has a similar perspective through establishment of a observation network for the Arctic.
All these projects are depending on a constructuve dialogue with the user community to develop cost efficient and targeted services. Thus we are now inviting to a joint meeting in Oslo. This is the 5th meeting in a series of half yearly meetings travelling between Bergen, Oslo and Tromsø. The subject for the meeting is "How can national and international research e-infrastructures support national geoscientific communities?".
In addition, a student seminar on sharing and use of research data will be offered.
