Subject: HEADS UP! Workshop to inform requirements gathering exercise on CKAN for academic RDM, February, Central London
Sent to the JISCMRD and the RESEARCH-DATAMAN lists, potentially of interest to all JISCMRD projects and the wider community of interest in research data management:
Both the Orbital (Lincoln) and data.bris (Bristol) JISCMRD projects have recently adopted CKAN (http://ckan.org) as part of their research data management technical infrastructure and we are aware that other universities are also appraising it for their needs. Joss Winn (Orbital project, Lincoln) intends to produce a critical evaluation of CKAN for HEI's research data management needs and would welcome your input at a workshop in central London in February (date and venue to be confirmed).
The workshop is an opportunity to learn more about CKAN and to meet Mark Wainwright from the Open Knowledge Foundation, which leads the development of CKAN. Joss would also like you to feed into a requirements gathering exercise that will steer his evaluation of CKAN for academic use. This evaluation may also influence the future development of CKAN which will benefit the higher education sector.
Whether you can attend or not, it would be very helpful if you can send Joss ([log in to unmask]) any user requirements documents or links to similar requirements gathering exercises you have already undertaken for an RDM system at your institution.
With many thanks in advance,
Simon.
