6. Pilot Shared ServiceVision
» Researchers shouldn’t need to think (too much!) about Research
Data Management
» "Visible data, invisible infrastructure"
• Provide researchers intuitive, easy functionality to publish, archive and
preserve their research outputs.
• Provide interoperable systems to allow researchers and institutions to
fulfil and go beyond policy requirements and adhere to best practice
throughout the RDM lifecycle

9. Additional Procurement and Support
Existing Jisc Agreements Description of Research Data Shared Service Components
Cloud Storage To provide cloud storage for the service
Infinity (and/or Northern)
Data Centre
To provide local storage and hosting of services
Data ArchivingFramework To provide longterm archival storage of research data
Data Audit (Research
Consulting)
To provide the consultation phase for stakeholders in the project,
not focused on the final technology solution, for example an audit of
datasets, legal and compliance framework, financial and strategic
commitment.
Technical Architect (TBC) To provide expert technical advice to the project on the technical
architecture of the service, assessment of institutional technical
capability and to assist in gatheringdetailed requirements from
institutions and researchers
Metadata and
Interoperability (CLAX)
An examination of metadata specifications and provide advice on
identifier systems and interoperability
Project Management (LM) To provide project management support and coordinate contract
negotiations, facilitate collaboration between suppliers and HEI’s and
monitor overall service development. This function will also gather
evidence to feed into the business model for the next stage
Preservation Audit (TBC) To provide the needs and priorities for preservation tools
development
13. Pilot Participation Benefits
» Institutionally branded RDM and research object repository solution
» Support policy compliance (EPSRC, Open Access, OpenAIRE etc.) and
best practice
» Institutional support to refine RDM requirements and implementation
» Focus on intuitive user experience and ease of use for researchers
» Focus on interoperability between institutional and external research
systems
13
14. Pilot Participation Benefits
» Extensible, open standards based approach
» Bit-storage archiving and data preservation
» New features from Jisc pilot services: Usage Statistics and metrics, UK
Research Data Discovery Service
» Jisc manages system, relieving burden from institutional IT and
procurement staff
» Comprehensive reporting on RDM
» …….Also Jisc will work with pilots on use cases and problem areas.

16. Project Phases and Activity
» Pre-development Phase (Dec 2016-Dec 2017)
» Alpha Development (June 2016 – June 2017)
» Beta Development (June 2016 – April 2018)
» Business Case Planning (July 2017 – Dec 2017)
» RAID (Risks,Actions, Issues, Dependencies) and full schedule by end
of March
» Project will be managed with anAgile methodology, meaning we
will release shippable products and releases on a regular basis.
17. Project Phases and Activity
» Pre-development Phase (Dec 2015 – Dec 2016)
– Jisc: procurement, planning, contracting, technical architecture
– Pilot decisions around products
– Pilots provide information to Jisc and Consultants about (and the right
people to talk to!):
– Requirements in relation to specific products
– Institutional priorities and use cases
– Storage requirements
– Metadata requirements
– Current system information to enable integration
– Data Asset Framework and Preservation Audit
– RDM Business case and costing
– Teams and researchers to work with for first data ingest
18. Pre-development - Procurement
» Suppliers have been shortlisted from Pre-Qualification
Questionnaire to respond to Operational Requirements
» Selection of framework suppliers by 12th April
» Framework can be communicated to pilots on 22nd April

Notes de l'éditeur
Go to ‘View’ menu > ‘Header and Footer…’ to edit the footers on this slide (click ‘Apply’ to change only the currently selected slide, or ‘Apply to All’ to change the footers on all slides).
To change the image on this slide:
Click once on the image to select it, and then delete it
Drag a replacement picture to the placeholder or click the icon in the centre of the placeholder to browse for & add another image
Once you have added your replacement image, you may need to put it into the background so that it doesn’t cover other items on the slide. Do this by right-clicking on the new image and choosing ‘Arrange’ > ‘Send to Back’ from the contextual menu
Once added, the image can be cropped, resized or repositioned to suit.
The big GAP – so while there are solutions like Arkivum there is a gap in terms of curating for preservation – tools that allow file format identification, metadata and the creation of archival information packages – data integrity and even emulation …people haven’t got to deal with this yet , perhaps also the what to keep question.
