Case Study: Research Data Collections Survey

Abstract

I've been asked to provide some snapshots of projects which I have been investigating in association with Kevin Bradley from the National Library as part of our work on risk analysis and metadata. We commenced by examining a sample of the kinds of projects and data collections which have been or are being done in the partner universities. At this stage we have spoken to nearly thirty people, but time will allow me to talk about only five of them. I'm not going to talk about metadata or risk analysis, that will come later but I would like to demonstrate the variety of projects we have found and some of the features which they demonstrate.
