Informatics Project Leader, The Noguchi Institute. Received his Ph.D in engineering from Tokyo Metropolitan University in 1997. He became a Noguchi Institute researcher in 2002 and started scientific investigation of glycans at the Institute in 2006. He is presently engaging in glycan informatics studies on research topics such as glycan structure notation, ontology, and database design.

KUMAZAKI Yui works Institutional Repository Section, Intellectual Resources Management and R&D Collaboration Department, Japan Atomic Energy Agency(JAEA). After working as a high school teacher and consulting company (in charge of library and R&D collaboration), she moved to the JAEA Library. She has been to in charge of editing and publishing of technical reports and developing of JAEA research data policy since July 2018. She is using her experience in her previous job to explore the practice of open science at a research and development corporation.Member of the Planning Committee of the Research Data Utilization Forum and the Research Data Licensing Subcommittee.

Ph. D., Assistant Professor, National Institute of Informatics, Content Science Research Division. In March 2014, he completed the doctoral course at the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences. He was engaged in bioinformatics research as a JSPS Research Fellow (DC2). In April 2014, he involved in supercomputer operation and project of life science database development as a project researcher at the Human Genome Center, The Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo. Current my position since April 2016. He started to works the Research Center for Open Science and Data Platform in NII from April 2017, engaged in research and development, operation and international collaboration of the research data management service GakuNin RDM.

Librarian. Head of Research Support Division, Hokkaido University Library since April 2018. A member of the JPCOAR Committee since April 2018. Chief of JPCOAR Research Data Working Group since April 2019. In addition, participated in Academic Exchange for Information Environment and Strategy, Research Data Management Subcommittee (AXIES-RDM Subcommittee). Involved as the secretariat of Japan Association of National University Libraries (JANUL) Open Access Committee.

Publications and Documentation Section, Information and Public Relations Office,Research Planning and Partnership Division,Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences. Takanori Hayashi joined Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences in 2014. He received his Ph.D. degree in informatics from the University of Tsukuba in 2016. He is in charge of library and web service operations including collect and provider of research information, and support developing databases.

Researcher, National Bioscience Database Center, Japan Science and Technology Agency. Shigeru Yatsuzuka joined National Bioscience Database Center in 2015 after working as a system engineer. He is in charge of the project to collect life science data scattered across various subjects and institutes, to research and coordinate data, to create metadata and to publish data with clear licenses.

In December 2019, the Research Data Infrastructure Development Sub-Committee was established under the Nagoya University Research Strategy and Social Collaboration Promotion Subcommittee to promote research data initiatives at Nagoya University. The subcommittee is headed by the Director of Information & Communications, which is responsible for information policies on campus, and is composed of the relevant trustees, the managers and the persons in charge of the following departments: Information and Communications, Information Technology Center, Library, Research Cooperation Department, Academic Research & Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration, Institutional Research. In addition to reporting on the process up to the establishment and management of this subcommittee, I would like also to introduce what activities we have performed as a secretariat.

The repositories for nucleotide sequences and protein structures were available in the glycoscience community, but no repository for glycan structures. At an international meeting held in 2013 in Dalian, China, clarification of the glycan structure was discussed in glycoscience research. As a result of this meeting, it was agreed that a repository of glycan structures should be constructed and that unique accession numbers be assigned to glycan structures. In August 2014, the international glycan structure repository GlyTouCan was released. Besides, glycan structures are analyzed by mass spectrometry. The data generated at that time is also important, and UniCarb-DR and GlycoPOST have been developed as repositories. UniCarb-DR is a repository for peak lists that analyze mass spectrometry data, and GlycoPOST is a repository for mass spectrometry experimental methods and raw data. In this presentation, I would like to introduce the history of the development of these repositories.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency(JAEA) is preparing a research data policy that defines a policy for the management and open of research data. We conducted some surveys of the current handling and open of research data and interviewed with researchers. In the discussions so far, the following are discussed: (1) prudent judgment is necessary for open due to the characteristics of JAEA’s R&D ; (2) difficulty in establishing a unified policy due to the diversity of R&D fields; and (3) necessity to ensure the quality and reliability of our research data. This time, I would like to introduce the status of these surveys and studies, and consider the management of research data in organizations.

Currently, research data management (RDM) thinking is a growing demand in academic institutions. National Institute of Informatics (NII) is going to launch the RDM service "GakuNin RDM" as a part of the comprehensive research data infrastructure NII Research Data Cloud since late 2020. In this seminar, I introduce an RDM tool that is needed actually to manage research data at institutions, and also I present use cases in demonstration experiments being carried out at academic institutions across the whole country.

In this presentation, I report the activities of JPCOAR: human resources development for research data management (e.g. RDM training materials and JPCOAR seminar) and several other approaches on research data (e.g. Database rescue project, RDM case formation project, JPCOAR Schema, etc.). In addition, I also introduce the activities for research data of other groups : AXIES-RDM Subcommittee and JANUL Open Access Committee.
