[Esip-sustainabledm] Fwd: [Esip-ficom] Request for travel support for external expert - Neil Beagrie

Tue May 16 12:16:46 EDT 2017

Hi Anne -
I checked - Phil is on this list. If his ears aren't burning already (and
you don't hear from him), you should email him directly.

I have asked Helen et al if they are interested in Beagrie for a plenary;
not heard back yet.

> Session: Sustainable Data Management, Return on Investment
>
> Value to Cluster: Beagrie and his colleagues have focused specifically on
> the difficult and nuanced question of how to determine the return on
> investment of a data center, and may be the preeminent leaders in this area
> in the world today. The cluster has relied heavily on their writings in
> order to develop useful frameworks for determining RoI of our own data
> repositories and centers.

> Value to ESIP as a whole: Continued availability is fundamental to all
> aspects of “making data matter”, and so the ability to sustain data
> repositories and their content is critical.  Although repository users
> depend on the services they offer, the value of the provision of same is
> poorly understood and often underappreciated. In a climate of increasing
> data volumes with anticipated level or reduced funding, the demand on data
> repositories rapidly becomes untenable, and so the ability to determine
> their value to stakeholders is more urgent than ever.
>
> Relevance to meeting theme: This speaker is an expert in the relationships
> between data management and stakeholders, and so well positioned to address
> the meeting theme of “connecting users to data”. This speaker has the
> potential to advance ESIP’s mechanisms for calculating the real value of
> the data and related support services that form ESIP’s basis. Beagrie, et
> al (e.g., 2014), have also shown that the process of RoI determination has

> Text:
> The data products and services offered by environmental data centers have
> a variety of stakeholders, including researchers, educators, public
> officials, emergency responders, funding agencies, policy makers and the
> general public.  The ability to measure the value of data products and
> services to these diverse groups gives digital repositories and data
> centers the capability to demonstrate their contributions. ESIP’s
> Sustainable Data Management Cluster began in late 2015, with a goal to
> foster the sustainability of data management activities by increased
> collaboration and coordination among data service providers such as ESIP’s
> repositories and data archives. A major focus of the Cluster has been to
> develop a framework for calculating the Return on Investment (RoI) for our
> repositories’ data-related services so that their value to stakeholders can
> be accurately computed. The RoI group has been active at ESIP meetings
> since its inception (summarized under References).
>
> Data center RoI calculation is complex because of the wide variety of
> centers, their levels of maturity, the highly varying natures of the
> datasets they offer, and the variety of user needs and expectations. Some
> calculations are relatively straightforward (e.g., direct payments or costs
> for storage), whereas others are very difficult to determine, e.g., future
> potential use, societal impact, and time saved by researchers. The Beagrie
> group is an independent management consultant specializing digital
> archives, library, science and research data management (
> https://www.beagrie.com/). Their areas of expertise include strategy and
> policy, business planning, stakeholder engagement, and evaluation and
> impact assessment. The group has authored several white papers, and our
> ESIP cluster has employed some of their methods in its exploration of a
> framework for calculating RoI for environmental data repositories.

> We request funds to bring Neil Beagrie to speak at our session at the ESIP
> summer meeting. Dr. Beagrie is a recognized expert in the field of
> evaluating digital curation, digital preservation and e-Research, and is
> not associated with an ESIP member organization. His work has significantly
> informed the progress of the Sustainable Data Management Cluster, and would
> add significant value to the session. Although our request is for a working
> session with Beagrie to advance the Cluster’s work, we expect that his
> insights are of interest to a broad range of meeting participants, and that
> he would be an excellent candidate for a plenary talk (thereby increasing
> the RoI of his visit).
