About

I am an Associate Professor with the Department of Informatics Engineering of FEUP, University of Porto, and a senior researcher at INESC TEC. I have collaborated on and been in charge of projects in the areas of cultural heritage, multimedia databases, information retrieval and combinatorial optimisation. I have supervised 9 PhD and 33 MSc dissertations. I was the technical leader of the SAPO/U.Porto extension laboratory for 5 years. My teaching activities include courses in the Informatics Engineering and Information Science programmes. Research Data Management is the core of my current research activity. I am the PI of TAIL (FCT/POCI), on research data management workflows for data publication, and I lead the DataPublication@U.Porto pilot in the EUDAT european initiative. I am a member of the Working Group for the National Policy on Open Science with SECTES. My research interests include information retrieval, digital preservation and knowledge representation.

Getting in touch with metadata: a DDI subset for FAIR metadata production in clinical psychology

Abstract
To address metadata with researchers it is important to use models that include familiar domain concepts. In the Social Sciences, the DDI is a well-accepted source of such domain concepts. To create FAIR data and metadata, we need to establish a compact set of DDI elements that fit the requirements in projects and are likely to be adopted by researchers inexperienced with metadata creation. Over time, we have engaged in interviews and data description sessions with research groups in the Social Sciences, identifying a manageable DDI subset. A recent Clinical Psychology project, TOGETHER, dealing with risk assessment for hereditary cancer, considered the inclusion of a DDI subset for the production of metadata that are timely and interoperable with data publication initiatives in the same domain. Taking a DDI subset identified by the data curators, we make a preliminary assessment of its use as a realistic effort on the part of researchers, taking into consideration the metadata created in two data description sessions, the effort involved, and overall metadata quality. A follow-up questionnaire was used to assess the perspectives of researchers regarding data description.

Fostering the Adoption of DMP in Small Research Projects through a Collaborative Approach

Abstract
In order to promote sound management of research data the European Commission, under the Horizon 2020 framework program, is promoting the adoption of a Data Management Plan (DMP) in research projects. Despite the value of a DMP to make data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) through time, the development and implementation of DMPs is not yet a common practice in health research. Raising the awareness of researchers in small projects to the benefits of early adoption of a DMP is, therefore, a motivator for others to follow suit. In this paper we describe an approach to engage researchers in the writing of a DMP, in an ongoing project, FrailSurvey, in which researchers are collecting data through a mobile application for self-assessment of fragility. The case study is supported by interviews, a metadata creation session, as well as the validation of recommendations by researchers. With the outline of our process we also outline tools and services that supported the development of the DMP in this small project, particularly since there were no institutional services available to researchers
