I was originally interested in computational fluid dynamics, so I started my research career with developing computational fluid codes for multiphase flow and water-tank experiments. After that, I developed a calculation method for plant metabolism in the field of bioinformatics, and investigated the structure-activity relationship for compounds in the field of chemoinformatics. I am currently conducting research and development on databases for promoting the use of agricultural data. Ph.D. (Engineering), NAIST 2014.

She is presently involved in the development of research data policy and the terms of service.

After working as a research fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), I have been working in my current position since April 2018. My field of expertise are social stratification and Sociometry.

In 2019, the Subcommittee for Licensing Research Data, Research Data Utilization Forum (RDUF) published the "Guidelines for specifying conditions of use in research data publishing" as a tool to help researchers and stakeholders in common understanding and make appropriate publication decisions. The guidelines were developed based on literature reviews, interview surveys, questionnaire surveys, and public discussions at events. This presentation will provide a framework for the discussion by introducing an overview of the guidelines and the process of determining full and limited access.

Until a few years ago, at the Institute of Space Science (ISAS), we had been wondering what is actually "data" and whether we may release those "data" to the public or not. Meanwhile, the "Scientific Data Expert Committee" was established in FY2017, and it formulated the formal data policy for the first time.>
The policy defines the "data" and declared that all the data should be public in principle, limiting the reasons why the data cannot be public.
For non-public data, it was also mandated to define the person in charge and the time limit for non-disclosure. >
The development of the data policy has made it easier to discuss various data issues. However, it is often difficult to judge if specific data are to be made public or undisclosed. Also, it is difficult to determine the proprietary period of non-public data. The committee is discussing these issues and making decisions on a case-by-case basis. In this talk, I hope to introduce such discussions and exchange information with other organizations that are facing similar issues.

There are often many barriers to the release of data in the private sector. This is not only due to legal and technical issues, but also to the risk of brand damage, lost business opportunities, and the IT literacy gap. They have a variety of innovations, for example, create terms and conditions, standardize work flows, segregate content and methods, and prevent accidents through UI/UX design. This report will introduce common issues in data trading in Japanese companies and a case study of restricted data publishing through a data market service, from a startup company's perspective.

The NBDC human database, which has been in operation since 2013, promotes the sharing of various kinds of human data generated in the fields of life sciences and medicine.
Individual-level genomic sequence data are the main contents.
In the sharing of human data, it is very important to strike a balance between data usability and protecting the privacy of research participants.
Data submitters can choose an appropriate way of the sharing depending on the informed consent of research participants, the level of privacy of the data, and the progress of a study.
We would like to introduce some activities so far to promote the use of the data while also taking into account the protection of personal data and ethical issues.

In recent years, electronic data is rapidly increasing with the introduction of ICT in the research environment in the agricultural field. Since research data generated with great effort is a valuable asset, proper collection, management, and utilization of these data will be expected to accelerate research activities and create interdisciplinary research that transcends conventional fields and areas. Therefore, NARO has built the "NARO Linked DB" as a data infrastructure for the purpose of appropriate storage, management, and organization of research data, and started trial operation in FY2020. From the viewpoint of data reuse, we have built a mechanism that allows the data in the Organization to be freely referred to by the staff of the Organization, but from the viewpoint of licensing and confidentiality, there are some that impose reference restrictions.
In this lecture, after giving an overview of the NARO Linked DB, we will introduce what kind of rules and mechanisms are used to share data based on the open / closed strategy. Since these rules and mechanisms are still under construction, we would like to hear your opinions through this lecture.

The National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) established the Materials Data Platform Center (DPFC) in 2017, and has been working on the construction of the DICE, a materials data platform that contributes to the promotion of data-driven research in the materials science field. The DICE is a system that handles materials data from the point of entry (data collection) to the point of exit (data service). This system handles research data with a wide range of sources and characteristics, so that DPFC have been discussing and debating what each service should be and how operate it. In this presentation, I would like to introduce a case study of the DICE and provide an opportunity to consider the ideals and issues in research data disclosure.

The purpose of this presentation is to share the realities of data provision in the social science with a focus on the relationship between data archive institution and users. Specifically, there are two questions: (1) what flow of data is provided to users, and (2) what the institution considers when providing data. I would like to look at the SSJ data archive (SSJDA), which is constructed by the Center for Social Research and Data Archives at the Institute of Social Science, The University of Tokyo. Through this case study, we will discuss the issues that remain to be addressed in providing data to users while further promoting the release of data for academic purposes.
