eRA 2018 TURNING BIG SHIPS (DATA) ON A DIME CHANGE MANAGEMENT AND DATA SENTENCING

<p>Achieving data management goals involves change management. For a University a growing challenge relates to the shift from</p> <p>‘data storage is cheap – use as much as you need’ to ‘some cold data storage options are cheap, but high end data storage not</p> <p>so much and it’s not unlimited. Therefore   we need to assign some Terms and Conditions – especially instigating sentencing</p> <p>regimes’. These are not easy conversations and often a require a deep cultural change across the board.</p> <p>Aim would be for the convenor to open the session with a few key questions (5 mins) including:</p> <ul> <li>What is sentencing and why is it needed at all?</li> <li>What incentives and techniques can be used to help researchers become more aware of sentencing requirements for</li> </ul> <p>data and how this can assist them?</p> <ul> <li>What are the most effective strategies to assist researchers in capturing metadata at the start of the process?</li> <li>Before technical tools are implemented, what are some of the main issues in gaining traction for data to be effectively</li> </ul> <p>sentenced and managed over time?</p>
