Abstract:In early 2019, USDOT sponsored a workshop titled: Building a National Transportation Data Preservation Network. The event brought together thirteen librarians, researchers, repository managers, and others involved in data management efforts to discuss feasibility, rewards, and challenges to building a network or consortium of trustworthy repositories for transportation research data. The group discussed several topics related to priorities and considerations for transportation data management during the day-long workshop, including: Defining relevant nodes and stakeholders, their needs and contributions; Funding mechanisms and costs associated with data storage and management; Measuring and documenting research impacts to demonstrate the value of research funding; Research scooping, data misrepresentation/misuse, and confidentiality; and, Partnering opportunities and potential network model examples. Based upon this discussion, USDOT will work with the participants and other stakeholders to establish a National Transportation Data Preservation network or Community of Practice (CoP) focusing on: Data preservation of materials useful for the research project; Research impact tracking to maximize and measure data sharing; Legal compliance; Providing FAIR, trustworthy data; and, Certifying repositories to ensure data is the most useful for end users. The group continues to meet to enact next steps. The group is looking for new stakeholder to join the effort. This poster describes the work of the group to date, and invites other stakeholders to become engaged in building a national transportation data preservation network.
This poster was first presented at the Transportation Research Board 2020 Annual Meeting.
