Top Level RDM ArchitectureShows need for interoperability and transfers of data and metadata between a number of systems and services
• Data Storage (Active and Archive
• DMPs• CRIS systems• Repositories• Data catalogues and
registries• External data centres• National and International
aggregation and identifier services

Institutional Scenarios
• Scenarios range from Greenfield (no RDM infrastructure in place) to various brownfield scenarios
• Brownfield scenarios based on gaps within architecture. Examples include:• Institutions who may have established central
active data storage, but are lacking a publication platform, data registry and archive storage.
• Institutions with a data repository, who may be lacking active data storage options for researchers
Scenarios and requirements derived from architecture
Shared Services For Research Data Management July 2015 5Vision for Jisc provided shared service
Jisc could facilitate researchers cloud storage space which can sync with their personal machines and common workflows to store active research data and allow sharing and collaboration between peersWithin this space allow easy functionality to publish and archive research outputs fulfilling policy requirements throughout the RDM lifecycle
Researchers shouldn’t need to think (too much!) about Research Data Management

What a researcher should seeFamiliar user friendly UI that links with workflows

What a researcher should seeIngest to publication repository or archive – Minimal metadata

What a researcher should seePublication Page for Research Object (with DOI/Metrics etc)

What we needModules that seamlessly integrate with each other

Technology already exists
Active Data Storage and File syncing and sharing (OneDrive, Sharepoint DropBox, Box, Owncloud, Institutional Storage etc.) Services that researchers are used to as the base interface to store active data and use as access points to publication/archival servicesPublication/Archival Ingest UI (Figshare, Eprints, Zenodo other? In house?)Repository Front End (Figshare, Eprints, UKRDDS etc.)Archival Management / Long term Storage (Arkivum/Others) Metadata Schema (From Research at Risk Metadata WP)EEA based storage (AWS, Azure etc.)Network (JANET)Long Term Preservation (Metadata and tools need specifying for RDM)
Don’t re-invent the wheel, join up technology that already exists

BenefitsMeets policy requirements An easy way to meet funder’s requirements with little effort from the institutionNetwork connecting with Janet means that data egress costs will be reduced or negligibleStorage shared storage could be procured at cheaper ratesUser Friendly many researchers are already familiar with the types of UI’s mentionedDiscoverability and Access Allows easy open access to research outputs if requiredAggregation allows for easy aggregation of UK research outputs to share globallyLong Term Storage archived research objects are safely stored with multiple copiesIntegration These systems already exist and are starting to integrate Local View System could be institutionally brandedResearch Data Problem Eases RDM issues for the institutions where there isn’t the capacity or desire to implement their own system

Proposed Stages?1st Stage: fully Jisc provided/procured/hosted system2nd Stage: Jisc offer modules or national agreements to fill architecture gaps in existing systems• Jisc require feedback from the community and will
consult before and after an October event with preceeding publication of shared services concepts
• If there is community agreement Jisc will begin procurement/development
• To take these concepts forward volunteer pilot institutions to work up detailed requirements and develop/test the service in partnership will be needed.
