 ====== 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  [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_science|open science]]  and the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAIR_data|FAIR data principles]]. On the other hand are also concerns about the rules and regulations that the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation|GDPR]] brings, and there are now more ways to reuse data sets if that dataset can be found and may be reused.
+The proper management of research data is becoming increasingly important. On one hand, there is a shared ambition within the UG and among research funders to adhere to the various facets of the  [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_science|Open science]] framework and the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAIR_data|FAIR data principles]]. On the other hand, concerns about the rules and regulations imposed by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation|GDPR]] have arisen, alongside the growing opportunities for data reuse if datasets are discoverable and reusable.
-The current storage solutions (X/Y drive, [[https://unishare.nl/|Unishare]], Google Drive, NAS) do not sufficiently meet the current data management systems standards.
