    End of REDm-MED Project

    Posted on 18 April 2013 by Alex Ball | From REDm-MED
    As you may have gathered from an earlier post, the REDm-MED project successfully concluded in June 2012. As a result, the time has come to close the blog; it will still be around for reference but there won’t be any new posts or comments. You can still see a full list of project outputs on [...]

    RAIDmap documentation on SourceForge

    Posted on 18 April 2013 by Alex Ball | From REDm-MED
    The RAIDmap Application User Guide and RAIDmap Application Developer Guide have been converted and can now be read on the RAIDmap wiki on SourceForge. In the long term, this will make it easier to update the documentation when changes are made to the software. If anyone is interested in developing RAIDmap further, please just put [...]

    The wait is finally over! RAIDmap, the piece of software we have been developing in REDm-MED, is now available for early adoption from SourceForge. RAIDmap is an adaptation of the Compendium information mapping software, tailored for use as a data documentation tool. It uses the National Library of New Zealand’s Metadata Extractor to collect information [...]

    As promised by my esteemed colleague Alex Ball, here are some more REDm-MED deliverables, arriving not quite in numerical order. As Alex said, Deliverable 3, A Research Data Management Plan for Engineering Research, is a generic departmental data management plan based on Deliverable 2. And then we have the [...]

    The REDm-MED Project has produced its second deliverable: A Research Data Management Plan for the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Bath. This document begins the work of satisfying the Requirements Specification that formed the Project’s first deliverable. The plan has two main sections. The first explains how to use data management plans at the project level: [...]

    Posted on 5 March 2012 by Alex Ball | From REDm-MED
    The REDm-MED Project has produced its first deliverable: the Research Data Management Plan Requirements Specification for the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Bath. The meat of the document is a table that lists a series of requirements for research data management, and for each one provides the rationale for the requirement, the rôle (principal investigator, researcher, [...]

    Sharing is so Nice

    Posted on 28 February 2012 by Mansur Darlington | From REDm-MED
    Some quite nice stories are beginning to emerge from the Department of Mechanical Engineering related to the benefits (and to a lesser extent difficulties) of sharing data. This is of interest because non-data-sharing seems to be the current default. Here are a couple from the horse’s mouth. Two data sets, the core of which were in [...]

    Scoping Data Management: inflation, inflation!

    Posted on 2 February 2012 by Mansur Darlington | From REDm-MED
    I recently asked a PI how much data space he thought he and his team of researchers might need over, say, the next two years. Based on his current research he thought perhaps, 1-2 GB per project would be about right on average, although he did have one anomalous project the raw data for which [...]
