Session objectives
· Continue discussion started at the first BoF on Data as Economic goods at RDA12 Plenary and proceed with the establishing Interest Group
· Discuss Charter of the proposed IG on Data Economics
· Identify set of documents to be produced by the prospective IG and create team of volunteers to work on the documents; in particular, information document on overview/analysis of business models for research data and commoditized data trading and exchange, related data properties
· Identify key actions to further research topics and coordination actions
· Gather individuals interested in defining set of properties that are related to data as economic goods
· Scope of the IG-DE group and related activities
The proposed Interest Group is a direct outcome of the BoF on Data as economic goods that took place at the RDA 12 Plenary on 5-8 Nov 2018 in Gaborone. The BoF drew 29 participants from 13 countries, and included four presentations. People were enthusiastic to work on the main topics discussed at the BoF.
Emerging data driven technologies and economy facilitate interest to making data a new economic value (data commoditization) and consequently identification of the new properties of data as economic goods. Creating consistent and workable models for data exchange and commoditization is critical to facilitating research data usage, creation of new value added data driven services bringing additional resources to research organizations. Consistent data pricing and data markets models are equally important for government funded and sponsored research, open data and governmental data. A number of examples from industry demonstrate practical interest to facilitate and obtain value from data exchange, interoperability, and adopting common architectures for data markets.
As part of this trend, existing business models of paid or commercial data(sets) services such as archives are based rather on services subscription fee. Quality of datasets in many cases is assessed by independent certification body or based on peer review by expert. This type of model is useful for specific use cases, although this does not provide a consistent model to make data an economic goods and enable data commoditization. Another key factor is growing interest in making the best use of research data resulted in formulation of the FAIR (Findable – Accessible – Interoperable – Reusable) data principles, which are widely supported by industry and business.
The BoF and proposed IG will address issues related to data commoditization, first of all definition of properties that will make effective data exchange and trading.
