Angus, how are you? I'm reducing my inbox, and came across this which is interesting but wasn't in my Mendeley collection. You say you co-authored it; can you say with whom? The text of the report (which I eventually found via the RIN archive... the DCC link doesn't work and needs correction) just attributes it to RIN/NESTA...

Also citizen science makes good rdm necessary since 'citizens' will be giving their time for free, and will expect their contributions to be dealt with effectively and efficiently. They may also have their own data use/reuse requirements, which data mgmt systems should meet to sustain their involvement.

There is also an Appendix with various examples (http://www.dcc.ac.uk/projects/open-science-case-studies.) There will be a follow up guide. The much condensed version is-

I'm mainly looking for the kind of observations and advice one might like to put in front of a funding body strategist, government policy-maker or university vice-chancellor! Sorry I haven't got a more refined set of questions for you; am in the last week of this very brief snapshot study but wanted to make sure I picked up any additional points from people with the particular expertise represented by this list.
