Pablo de Castro of the SONEX project has written a series of very useful blog posts relating to the JISC Managing Research Data Programme, particular projects and workshops:
An overview of national initiatives for promoting data management strategies is provided at: http://sonexworkgroup.blogspot.com/2011/04/national-initiatives-for-promoting-data.html
In an earlier post, Pablo asks 'Could external cooperation improve collection of specific JISC MRD project-related information?', while highlighting interest issues to have emerged from discussions of the PEG-BOARD project: http://sonexworkgroup.blogspot.com/2011/04/could-external-cooperation-improve.html
And, finally, an account of the I2S2 project workshop held at RAL on 1 April: http://sonexworkgroup.blogspot.com/2011/04/i2s2-project-workshop-at-ral-stfc.html ; presentations from that workshop are available at http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/projects/I2S2/events/STFC-Wksp/

'But, after all, what is this metaphor called a crown, or rather what is monarchy? Is it a thing, or is it a name or is it a fraud? Is it a "contrivance of human wisdom," or of human craft to obtain money from a nation under specious pretences? Is it a thing necessary to a nation? If it is, in what does that necessity consist, what service does it perform, what is its business, and what are its merits?' - Thomas Paine, Rights of Man
