Filling in gaps.

Another week over. But the end of today the project will have its project plan sent to JISC, it outlines our aims and objectives, overall approach and outcomes. Looking at the timetable, we are off to a fast start with plenty to be completed by the end of April. The first objective? Gathering eveidence of existing data management practives in past and present research centres and programmes. So, the next task for me is to fill in some details on ESRC programmes and centres so we can begin to define who, and how, we are going to work with. Things I need to establish are the types of research and data collected, the re-use potential of that data and how they link to some of the priorities we are interested in, be it complex, sensitive, confidential, or commercial data. Finally, seeking to establish what their existing data management and sharing practices.
