The JISC funded RDMRose project (June 2012-May 2013) was a collaboration between the libraries of the University of Leeds, Sheffield and York, with the Information School at Sheffield to provide an Open Educational Resource for information professionals on Research Data Management.
SEAD is an NSF-sponsored project to create data services designed to meet the needs of sustainability science research. Sustainability science requires reliable cyberinfrastructure and an enhanced ability to manage, integrate, interpret, share, curate, and preserve data across a broad range of physical and social science disciplines.
Research projects need more concrete guidance to analyze and assess the processes of RDM. The goal of this document is to present the first steps towards development of such a model, in the form of a Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for RDM.
UK Data Archive. This suite of web pages aims to provide data creators, data managers and data curators with best practice strategies and methods for creating, preparing and storing shareable datasets.
PyTables is a package for managing hierarchical datasets and designed to efficiently and easily cope with extremely large amounts of data. You can download PyTables and use it for free.
Oxford University. list of publications , conference presentations and other professional activities. Digital Repositories Research Co-ordinator, interested in how academic institutions can support researchers with their data management and curation. iassist member.
Going in, we had three basic requirements, 1) must be callable from a Rails-based web app, 2) must return responses to typical requests in real-time to the webapp (30 seconds was our target) and 3) must query against a dataset that was initially estimated at around 45 TB, but later came down to around 100 GB.
CLIO's SDS Controlled Vocabulary page for National Climatic Data Center's Archive Branch. It is the intent of this page to list acronyms, abbreviations, and controlled vocabulary you will find on NCDC's SDS website; and also to provide indexed links that will guide to all of the associated NCDC-SDS pages related to listed SDS and other controlled vocabularies.
Build sharable collections in iRODS from data distributed across file systems and tape archives. iRODS iCAT Metadata Catalog stores state information and descriptive metadata in a database, enabling search, management, controlling and tracking of all data access and manipulation. successor to SRB.
RCI offers UC San Diego researchers the computing, network, and human infrastructure needed to create, manage, and share data. Principal investigators are encouraged to use the campus's RCI in addressing federal sponsors' existing and new data management requirements. SDSC's favorable pricing can help researchers justify costs associated with data generation and management—costs that are increasingly included in proposal budgets.
The JISC-funded IDMP project is building a toolkit to assist Universities with research data management. If research data lies at the heart of your organisation, you need to know that you have adequate infrastructure, staff skills and resources, and senior management support in place to ensure that your data is effectively managed for validation, reuse and evidential purposes.
DataFlow is creating a two-stage data management infrastructure that makes it easy for you and your research group to work with, annotate, publish, and permanently store your research data. You manage this locally using your own instance of DataStage, while allowing your institution to deploy DataBank easily to preserve and publish your most valuable datasets. Published datasets have assigned DOIs to make them citable and to gain you academic credit.
The DataPool project will build capacity within the institution to support good data management practice across all disciplines, including multi-disciplinary activity, throughout the data lifecycle. This will enable us to share and develop expertise and engagement within the institution so that we can share data, openly where possible, with the wider community. The focus on cultural change will be underpinned by development of the technical infrastructure and a clear policy framework.
Several major research funders now require that researchers include data management plans (DMPs) in their requests for funding. Use the templates on this page to help create DMPs for your proposals. The templates contain suggested items to consider; not all questions will be appropriate or relevant to all projects. Templates marked with an asterisk were adapted from templates created by the University of Virginia Libraries Scientific Data Consulting Group.
The DCC has developed a suite of tools to help UK HEI researchers and research support staff to better understand their particular data management and curation needs, assess current activity and infrastructure, and to plan for improvement.
