About the RDMS

The proper management of research data is getting more important. On the one hand, there is the ambition of the UG and research funders to adhere to the different facets of open science and the FAIR data principles. On the other hand, are also concerns about the rules and regulations that the GDPR brings, and there are now more ways to reuse data sets if that dataset can be found and may be reused.

The current storage solutions (X/Y, Unishare, Google drive, NAS) do not sufficiently meet the current data management systems standards. With the RDMS we aim to fulfill the requirements that modern data management brings.

Current RDMS functions:

• A centralized storage system for research data on UG premisses.
• A safe solution for managing and archiving files.
• The option to add metadata to files and collections and folders to enable searchability and findability.
• Share data with scientists within the UG.
• Share and re-use data in teams and projects
• Secure storage of the data on different levels depending on the vulnerability of the data.
• A connection to Hábrók, Linux Workspace and Snellius for easy data transfer.

Primary support of the RDMS is given by the RDMS support team, that will help you with any questions about using the system. Please mail us at: rdms-support@rug.nl
