Research Data Management Infrastructure
Identifying Implementation Options
Introduction to Research Data Management Services, January 2013
Understanding infrastructure• The background blog describes Research Data
Management Infrastructure as “the mix of technology, services, and expertise organized locally or globally to support research data activities across the research lifecycle.”
• Key concepts in this definition: o Technology, services, and expertiseo Organized locally or globallyo Research data activities across the research lifecycle

Understanding infrastructure
• Understanding Infrastructure: Dynamics, Tensions, and Design. Edwards, Paul N., Jackson, Steven J., Bowker, Geoffrey C., and Knobel, Cory P. 2007.
• “[C]yberinfrastructure is the set of organizational practices, technical infrastructure and social norms that collectively provide for the smooth operation of scientific work at a distance (p6).”

Eduroam Example
• Infrastructure supporting academic guest use of local wireless services.
• Bryn Mawr Universityo First day that I arrived
oA person would issue an ID and password for each wireless device that you had.
oHad to sign a form listing all of the conditionsoNeeded to know from who to obtain the form

Eduroam Example
• Bryn Mawr Universityo The second day
o Checked the list of wireless services available.o Located and selected eduroam and was authenticated.
• The new procedure moved from primarily a social method relying on the local setting of providing guest access to wireless services to a technical method built on an automated, global infrastructure.
• New functionality was also achieved through this new approach.

Constraints on possibilities
• Your local environment sets boundaries around the implementation options that are possible.
• How your institution manages IT resources has a large impact on the options you can consider.
• The willingness of your institution to collaborate with other institutions also has a large impact on options.
• What other institutional factors constraint options?

Exercise
• Let’s explore the identification of options for implementation further through Exercise E5.
