ExPaNDS Workshop - Follow a user story! A journey through the PaN data services. https://pan-training.eu/zenodomaterials/expands-workshop-follow-a-user-story-a-journey-through-the-pan-data-services The ExPaNDS Workshop "Follow a user story", which took place on the 24th of January in Hamburg, Germany (hybrid), aimed to provide a "User Journey", taking the audience on the road of the "European Open Science Cloud Photon and Neutron Data Services". The objective was to demonstrate how as a user, one can benefit from the services developed during the project. The story began with a FAIR journey presented by Brian Matthews, an EOSC demo from Marta Gutierrez, followed by a demo of the training platform from Oliver Knodel. The last two stops of the journey were two demos from the VISA portal (Silvan Schoen and Michael Schuh) and the search API/Harvesting services (PaN Portal, etc) presented by Carlo Minotti. The session was chaired by Clara Albert. Find the presentations & prerecorded demos on Zenodo. The recording will be available very soon. expands, EOSC, data services, FAIR, VISA, PaN portal

Self-evaluation Photon and Neutron RIs for FAIR data certification https://pan-training.eu/materials/self-evaluation-photon-and-neutron-ris-for-fair-data-certification This ExPaNDS project deliverable describes a FAIR self-assessment undertaken by the ten ExPaNDS partner Photon and Neutron Research Infrastructures (PaN RIs) over the three-month period July – September 2022. After reviewing selected examples of existing FAIR evaluation frameworks designed to enable assessment at different levels (dataset, repository, and organisation), the report describes the evaluation approach adopted for the ExPaNDS FAIR self-assessment. As no existing framework met our specific need to focus on FAIR workflows and processes in PaN RIs, it was necessary to select, combine, and adapt existing frameworks. Supported by four underlying guiding principles, our approach drew heavily on the FAIR Principles, the RDA FAIR Data Maturity Model, and FAIRsFAIR’s CoreTrustSeal+FAIRenabling framework. Post-evaluation feedback from ExPaNDS partners indicated that they found the FAIR self-assessment a useful and valuable exercise for understanding current levels of FAIRness at their facilities and for articulating what implementations they have in progress or planned to support FAIR in future. A key output of the ExPaNDS FAIR evaluation is the collected self-assessment reports from the ten partner facilities. These reports are published openly and in full as part of the deliverable. In addition, the self-assessments are supplemented with some high-level observations on the state of the FAIR journey across the ExPaNDS facilities.

Final recommendations for FAIR Photon and Neutron Data Management https://pan-training.eu/materials/final-recommendations-for-fair-photon-and-neutron-data-management The present deliverable pursues the work initiated in ExPaNDS deliverable 2.2, which established a common metadata framework for FAIR data generated in Photon and Neutron (PaN) facilities. The modalities of implementation of this framework across facilities are examined and current practices and tools for metadata capture, storage and exposure are highlighted. This work is also the occasion to examine the commonalities of the framework with other initiatives developed inside and outside ExPaNDS such as the common search API, the data catalogues (ExPaNDS WP3), the EOSC discovery platforms B2FIND and OpenAire as well as the NeXus data format. It also provides the reader with guidelines on current tools and schemata available to record provenance and digital preservation information. The essence of these discussions is summarised as a list of practical recommendations at the end. expands, wp2-ExPaNDS, FAIR, data management PaN Community

The Guidance Note covers the 21 elements that comprise the final version of the ExPaNDS data policy framework. These elements fall under nine broad themes: 1. General drivers and principles 2. Roles and responsibilities 3. Scope 4. Enabling FAIR data 5. Necessary restrictions to data sharing 6. Availability of infrastructure and responsibility for costs 7. Data management planning requirements 8. Recognition and reward for data usage 9. Reporting requirements, compliance monitoring, and any possible sanctions The Guidance Note is intended as a short-form, ready-access tool for policy makers working on data policy within Photon and Neutron Research Infrastructures.

The published ontology describes the NeXus standard, it does not define the standard. This ontology extracts information about NeXus classes and fields from NeXus nxdl definition files on the NeXus GitHub site. This project was undertaken under ExPaNDS WP3.2. The ontology is designed to fulfil several purposes. First, it creates unique identifiers for each of the NeXus fields which would normally exist only within the namespaces of the defining NeXus classes. This is the primary goal and provides PIDs for annotation and tagging. The second purpose is to allow, via separate ontologies, NeXus fields and classes to be mapped onto equivalent or related terms defined elsewhere. Finally, we hope that this ontology, when used with a tool such as Protege, will provide a useful 'NeXus Explorer' tool to gain a quick overview of NeXus with links to official NeXus documentation.

ExPaNDS D2.3: Final data policy framework for Photon and Neutron RIs https://pan-training.eu/materials/expands-d2-3-final-data-policy-framework-for-photon-and-neutron-ris ExPaNDS deliverable D2.3: Final data policy framework for photon and neutron RIs, considers how data policies for research infrastructures providing photon and neutron facilities should be framed, in particular in the light of supporting open science and FAIR data. It builds on and revises the initial policy framework presented in ExPaNDS deliverable D2.1: Draft extended data policy framework for photon and neutron RIs.To produce the final, revised version of our data policy framework, ExPaNDS undertook a series of detailed consultation meetings with all ten of our partner PaN RIs. Drawing extensively on quotes from the write ups of those conversations, this report presents the themes that emerged from the consultation, focusing especially on those that featured most often and most strongly.Based on the consultation feedback, we present a revised version of the ExPaNDS data policy framework, which now proposes 21 elements for RIs to consider when formulating data policy.Overall, the consultation provided an opportunity to engage deeply in discussion with ExPaNDS partners about data policy and policy making. The consultation feedback and the level of engagement with the consultation process itself highlight ExPaNDS partners’ strong interest in data policy. There is a clear recognition that having an appropriate data policy is fundamental to supporting good research data management. While some differing views exist, ExPaNDS partners express consensus on key fundamental aspects of the data policy framework, especially the importance of a high level commitment to FAIR data. There is also the strong recognition that flexibility in a data policy framework is vital to accommodating the diversity found across national PaN RIs.As well as incorporating the final version ExPaNDS data policy framework as a key output, our report concludes with two overarching points:Data policy diversity will remain across ExPaNDS partner facilitiesData policy is a powerful and important tool for national PaN RIs.It is clear from the consultation feedback that the ExPaNDS data policy framework is already having an impact on facilities’ plans for future work, especially around ensuring that key implementations are in place to support FAIR data. Further work within ExPaNDS, for example, around PIDs, metadata, and FAIR assessment, will provide guidance to support these activities. expands, data policy, wp2-ExPaNDS
