\n\tThe word \u2019data\u2019 (singular \u2019datum\u2019) originates from Latin, literally: (things) given, from dare <\/em>to give. (Collins English Dictionary).\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEssentially, data is something that describe the objectively existing matters.\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\tData is raw material, which enable the structuring, categorising and measuring of the world. Data become valuable when people use it.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\n\t\tShortly Reserach Data is any information collected and processed to produce original research results.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn\u00a0Concordat on Open Research Data<\/a>, developed in UK,\u00a0the following definition of research data\u00a0has\u00a0been adopted:\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tResearch data<\/strong> are the evidence that underpins the answer to the research question, and can be used to validate findings regardless of its form (e.g. print, digital, or physical). These might be quantitative information or qualitative statements collected by researchers in the course of their work by experimentation, observation, modelling, interview or other methods, or information derived from existing evidence. Data may be raw or primary (e.g. direct from measurement or collection) or derived from primary data for subsequent analysis or interpretation (e.g. cleaned up or as an extract from a larger data set), or derived from existing sources where the rights may be held by others. Data may be defined as \u2018relational\u2019 or \u2018functional\u2019 components of research, thus signalling that their identification and value lies in whether and how researchers use them as evidence for claims. They may include, for example, statistics, collections of digital images, sound recordings, transcripts of interviews, survey data and fieldwork observations with appropriate annotations, an interpretation, an artwork, archives, found objects, published texts or a manuscript.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOpen research data<\/strong>\u00a0is the research data made accessible to others via Open Access, for sharing and re-using, provided that re-users would cite the original data. We can say that the main characteristic by which we can define open research data is its accessibility<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOpen data of the public sector<\/strong> (public data, government data) are the data created by the public sector and held in data sets without any limits to their accessibility. They form the basis for public services and decisions. When public data are used in research, they also become part of research data. The publc data can be found in\u00a0Estonian Open Government Data Portal<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tData can be classified based on different characteristics:\n<\/p>\n
