WP1.1 Research Of Available Resources

(back to Wiki)

Results from previous projects (e.g. JISC RDMTrain programme, Research Data Management Skills Support Initiative (DaMSSI), Incremental ), as well as available material from the DCC and other institutions, will be studied and evaluated. Disciplines will be compared and parts of the available material identified that need to be adapted to appeal to researchers in the area of digital music and audio research. In order to integrate the material into the Vitae /RCUK Researcher Development Framework , used to assign credits by the QMUL Learning Institute , the recently released "Information-handling Lens" will also be analysed.

Previous Projects

RDMTrain Programme

The JISC RDMTrain programme funded five discipline-specific research data management training projects in 2010-2011.

Two projects produced online courses:
  • Project CAIRO Managing Creative Arts Research Data
    4 short units. ~30 minutes each ?
  • MANTRA for geosciences, social and political sciences and clinical psychology.
    Very detailed. Not a short course! Sections on rights and licensing not available.
The remaining three courses have downloadable materials for face-to-face courses published through Jorum:

Sudamih

Supporting Data Management Infrastructure for the Humanities (Sudamih) was a project funded by JISC under the Research Data Management Infrastructure Programme.

Sudamih produced training materials specifically to fit in with the practise of humanities research at Oxford and also release de-localised materials on Jorum:
  • Three slideshows at varying levels of detail including materials targeted at post-doc researchers (Jorum)
  • Research Data Management Factsheet (Jorum)
  • Research Information Management Guides (Jorum)
  • Research Information Management: Organising Humanities Material (Jorum)
  • Research Information Management: Tools for the Humanities (Jorum)

Research Data Management Skills Support Initiative (DaMSSI)

DaMSSI outputs and related resources (from here):

Of particular interest to the current project are the mappings of previous RDM training projects onto the RDF and the Digital Curation Lifecycle Model.

Incremental

This project will build on earlier work by HATII and the DCC to support research data management. It will analyse needs at Glasgow and Cambridge across a number of different disciplines; propose a range of tools or services to address those needs; and develop, adapt and pilot these within each institution. Outputs will then be further adapted and prepared for embedding in local infrastructures and wider dissemination via the Digital Curation Centre, Digital Preservation Coalition, and JISC. The project intends to focus on the provision of softer infrastructure (e.g. templates, training, best practice guidelines, and policy).

Other

Data collected over a long period: the case of the Live Art Archive - audio (Jorum)

Lots of materials available from Jorum

Legislation

Research Council Requirements

DCC and Other Institutions

Some UK research councils have published policies regarding data management, data sharing and data curation: Several UK universities have published materials relation to data management, and, particularly, data management training: In addition, universities in other countries have also published materials:

Although the legal and funder requirements for these organisations will differ from the UK situation, the underlying principles for data management are still the same.

Researcher Development Framework

SCONUL - Society of College, National and University Libraries
SCONUL 7 Pillars Of Wisdom
SCONUL 7 Pillars Of Information Literacy

Information handling / literacy info. published 25th April 2012.

...RIN, SCONUL and members of the Working Group on Information-Handling have created a mapping of information literacy onto the Vitae Researcher Development Framework, using the SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy.

Vitae RDF Lenses

"Information-handling Lens" will also be analysed - now appears to have expanded into an "information literacy" lens.

Information literacy lens

Information literacy is an umbrella term which encompasses concepts such as digital, visual and media literacies, academic literacy, information handling, information skills, data curation and data management. Interacting with information is at the very heart of research and informed researchers are both consumers and producers of information.
