Growing relevance of TRUST principles for data repositories to secure data

Data repositories are integral in digital ecosystems, facilitating long-term access to data. Therefore, TRUST principles (Transparency, Responsibility, User focus, Sustainability and Technology) are gaining more relevance recently. These principles ensure repositories are transparent in their operations, handle data responsibly and reliably, use user-focused approaches, use resources sustainably, and deploy technology to secure data management.

‍

The TRUST principles complement the FAIR principles and enhance them by making the data infrastructure more reliable and long-term sustainable. In essence, FAIR is about the data, while TRUST is about the repository that manages and preserves the data. So this combination ensures that research data remains a reliable, accessible, and valuable resource for science and society, both now and in the future.

Drivers

Impact

education

Education

  • The TRUST principles enable data repositories to better facilitate the education sector with the management of data in a more effective manner. They foster collaboration and shared learning through better data sharing and reuse.
Research

Research

  • Researchers can (re)use and share research data more effectively when data repositories are based on the TRUST framework.
Operations

Operations

  • By enabling secure data exchange amongst members of a data space, operations can be streamlined. The standardised architectures enhance agility, transparency, and alignment with national and European regulations and digital transformation goals.
