Presents a "workflow":http://www.projectcairo.org/module/unit1-5.html for arts data management:

Planning -> Creating -> Shaping -> Long-term management

Planning should be good practice - science is largely about data collection and evaluation. Planning this process is part of experimental design. Can you easily meet more than just immediate data needs and contribute to the community at large ?
31 1 Steve Welburn
* Who's it for ?
32 1 Steve Welburn
* What documentation is required ?
33 1 Steve Welburn
* Are there stipulations on data management (timescales, repositories, publish, sensitivity) ?
34 1 Steve Welburn
* Is assessment required ? How do we enable it ?
35 1 Steve Welburn
* Are there guidelines we should follow (e.g. institutional) ?
36 1 Steve Welburn
* If we will publish data, do repositories have requirements for formats ?
37 1 Steve Welburn
38 1 Steve Welburn
Creating is day-to-day working data management:
39 1 Steve Welburn
* collecting permissions as required
40 1 Steve Welburn
* documenting data
41 1 Steve Welburn
* considering file formats
42 1 Steve Welburn
* backups
43 1 Steve Welburn
44 1 Steve Welburn
Shaping is curation:
45 1 Steve Welburn
* selection of data
46 1 Steve Welburn
* extending metadata
47 1 Steve Welburn
* use of sustainable file formats
48 1 Steve Welburn
49 1 Steve Welburn
Long-term management is after-the-research management of data - NB: the nature of this means that it will involve handing data over to a long-term archive. Occasional activities required (e.g. changing file formats)
50 1 Steve Welburn

AHRC rules are that data needs to be kept for 3 years after a project concludes. (see [[Research Council Requirements]])

* "Funder's expectations":http://www.projectcairo.org/module/unit2-2.html
58 1 Steve Welburn
* "Copyright":http://www.projectcairo.org/module/unit2-3.html (researcher as *user* of copyright material as opposed to as a producer of it). Includes discussion of fair dealing and notes that ??This exception does not apply to the copyright in films, sound recordings, broadcasts or typographical arrangements?? (see also [[Legislation]])

* Permissions e.g. "model release":http://www.projectcairo.org/module/unit2-4.html

bq.     HE and FE institutions should ensure that [...] employees and students are aware that, while some exemptions are granted for the use of personal data for research purposes, the majority of the Data Protection Principles must still be conformed to — there is no blanket exemption.

bq. The simplest way to deal with DPA is to remove personal information. Anonymised data doesn't come under the DPA. So consider carefully whether any personal details in data add to its usefulness or could be removed
