RDM Tools
...a web-based tool to help researchers write Data Management and Sharing Plans according to different funder / institutional requirements
We’re currently enhancing it with practical examples, boilerplate text and tailored support

Metadata and
discoverability
Disciplinary metadata catalogue
A catalogue of disciplinary metadata standards, explaining what they are, who's using them and how to use them

Lists of data centres & repositories
http://www.re3data.org
• DCC has been asked to produce guidance to help
researchers select repositories (may be coming
soon)

Local
resources
Existing resources in SA
• CSIR funded HPC centre, NICIS platform
• HSRC Research Data Curator training
• CSIR, NRF, DIRISA, LIASA, CALICO, ASSAF, SARIMA networks
• IRTalk list ([email protected]@lists.lib.sun.ac.za)
