In the RDCC process, the complexities of university hosted research data have been canvassed in a conversation between those building best practice solutions today, those who look to adopt best practice solutions and those that can facilitate changes in research practice.
The goal is a movement towards metadata-driven and machine-actioned management practices that capture the context of data sufficiently well to support most life-cycle decisions to be made about those data. To this end, a Smart Decision Making (RDMP-2.0 based) process is envisaged, whereby research data management would transition from the current fixed plan based (waterfall) approach to a continuous improvement-based approach.
