Optimising cohort data in Europe

Component

Resource and resource type

Capability

Combinative capabilities: − Identifying bottlenecks and practices of the current initiatives. Aggregation capabilities (integration): − Integrating existing cohorts with owners’ agreement. Group solving and decision-making (knowledge integration mechanism): − Creating a pilot proposal on the basis of specific cases and testing the concept field and feasibility in collaboration with other researchers. Group problem solving and decision-making (knowledge integration mechanism): − Translating tacit knowledge about research benefits into explicit knowledge through negotiations between researchers and participants about the implications of data reuse. − Creating joint knowledge transformation steps between researchers and participants where goals and future data uses should be would be clarified.

State of the art of national initiatives: versatile tangible resource

Data sharing platforms

1) Research benefit: both tangible and intangible specialised resource. Emergence context of resources: causal ambiguity and social complexity High potential for resource immobility 2) Participants’ expectations of research benefit: intangible specialised resource 3) Privacy: tangible and specialised resource 4) Community Engagement: intangible resource

Benefit sharing platforms and community engagement

In summary, the main outcome of the analysis is that the role of versatile tangible resources progressively decreases in importance across pillars. Versatile resources are important in Pillar I (Standards) because they represent the expected target for local, specialised resources. That is, the scope and reach of standards very much depend on the extent to which they can be applied across various contexts. Hence, one of the main aims of Pillar I is to ensure that local, specialised standards and resources are converted into versatile common ones so that they could be shared and transferred. The picture changes as soon as we approach the fields of action for Pillar II (Guidance) and Pillar III (Inclusion). Here, the interactions between specialised tangible and intangible resources take centre stage. In Pillar II, the amount of knowledge needed is more intense because converting intangible resources into specialised tangible ones requires a lot of effort. This dynamic stabilises in Pillar III because inclusion platforms do not necessarily need
