Shoji Kajita is a researcher and practitioner on Infield Information Informatics defined as study of the ways in which community dynamics and information and communication technologies mutually shape each other as a stakeholder of community. He is currently a Professor of Information Technology Center at Nagoya University and a board member of Apereo Foundation. Also he is an Emeritus Professor of Kyoto University as the recognition of his works at IT Planning Office, Institute for Information and Management Communication, Kyoto University. Before that, he was an Associate Professor of Strategic Planning Office in Information Communication Technologies and Services, and also Department of Systems and Social Informatics, Graduate School of Information Science, Nagoya University. His current main interests include e-Learning and e-Science to actualize sharable and scalable information environment across higher educational institutions by Open Source Software and Open Standards.
Abstract
This session shares our experiences on a nation-wide Research Data Management (RDM) platform in Japan by using Open Science Framework developed by Center for Open Science in U.S.A. The surrounding contexts of RDM like Open Science and Research Integrity have been quickly changing and the supporting technologies of RDM have been dramatically changing due to the speed of Dog Year for digital technologies. To tackle these situations, National Institute of Infomatics (NII) has been developing and operating a nation-wide RDM platform "Gakunin RDM" for the entire Japanese higher educational institutions. Currently over 100 institutions have been using Gakunin RDM since 2022. Through the course, several challenges are emerging due to the major customizations requested by institutional users. These are common to any Open Source projects. In this talk, we will introduce the challenges by the following three parts:
1. What is Open Science Framework
2. Current status of Gakunin RDM
3. Current major challenges
