Dear All, We are writing to you as researchers from the University of Regina in Regina, Canada who are studying open data. We invite you to participate in the Open Data Community Survey 2025 if you use or provide open data or FAIR data or if you are interested in using semantic metadata to improve the usability of your data.
The survey is estimated to take 15-20 minutes to complete, and it is available at the following link:https://uregina.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2ryvDaooieWaAjY Your responses will provide invaluable insights into the state of the open data community in 2025. You may choose to answer as open data user or provider if one of those roles dominates your time or both if they make equal demands of your attention. Please help to improve the power of the survey by sharing this invitation to participate widely within your networks. However, there is no obligation for you to pass along this invitation, and there will be no penalty to you if you do not share it. You can read more about the survey at: https://www2.cs.uregina.ca/~hepting/projects/open-data/community-survey-2025/survey-participant-information-and-consent-form.pdf Data from the study will be posted as open data at these locations: * https://<https://www2.cs.uregina.ca/~hepting/projects/open-data/community-survey-2025/>www2.cs.uregina.ca/~hepting/projects/open-data/community-survey-2025<https://www2.cs.uregina.ca/~hepting/projects/open-data/community-survey-2025/> * https://borealisdata.ca/dataverse/heptingd<https://www2.cs.uregina.ca/~hepting/projects/open-data/community-survey-2025/>/ The survey has been approved by the Research Ethics Board at the University of Regina in Regina, Canada. Funding for this survey has been provided by the DDI (Data Documentation Initiative) Alliance, an international collaboration dedicated to developing metadata standards and semantic products for describing social science data, data covering human activity, and other data based on observational methods. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Please note that there are inherent security issues when using email as a communication tool. By default, emails are not encrypted and are vulnerable to interception by outside sources or someone may see that you are involved in this research if you leave your browser open.
