 +====== About the RDMS ======
 +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.
  
-====== Research Data Management System ======+Current storage solutions (X/Y drive, [[https://unishare.nl/|Unishare]], Google Drive, NAS) do not adequately meet the standards of the long-term data storage. This includes advanced advanced metadata management, visualisation of user permissions and policy implementations, and access audit.
  
-The RDMS binds two important principles in current science: Open Science and the FAIR principles. It provides tools to archive, share and enrich your research data with metadata to promote and enhance re-usability and findability. The data is safely stored within the data cloud of the UG, and the system is accessible for all UG members.+With the RDMS we aim to meet the requirements of modern data management.
  
-The RDMS currently offers: +**Current RDMS functionality (April 2024):** 
-  * A centralized storage system for research data.+  * A centralized storage system for research data, hosted on UG premises.
   * A safe solution for managing and archiving files.   * A safe solution for managing and archiving files.
-  * The option to add metadata to files and folders to enhance searchability thus findability. +  * The  option  to  add  metadata  to  files  and  collections  and  folders  for  increased searchability and findability. 
-  * The option to share data with students and scientists within the UG. +  * Ability to implement automated data policies.  
-  * Secure storage of the data on different levels depending on the vulnerability of the data. +  * Sharing data with scientists within the UG. 
-  * A connection to the HPC clusters Hábrók and Snellius as well as the Linux Workspace for easy, scriptable data transfer.+  * Collecting, sharing and re-using data in [[rdms:solution:team|teams]] and [[rdms:solution:projects|projects]]. 
 +  * Secure storage of the data on various levels depending on the vulnerability of the data. 
 +  * Different ways to transfer data to and from the RDMS for [[rdms:access:windows|Windows]] and [[rdms:access:mac:|Mac]] for a flexible selection depending on the user demands.  
 +  * A connection to the HPC clusters [[rdms:access:hpc|Hábrók]] and Snellius as well as the [[rdms:access:lwp:|Linux Workspace (LWP)]] for easy data transfer via command line.
  
 +Moreover, we are continuously working on the RDMS to increase the user experience and add new functionalities. 
  
-==== Support ==== +**Important new features that are in progress:** 
-Primary support of the RDMS is given by the RDMS support team. Please contact the RDMS support with any questions about the system:  +  * Possibility to collaborate with external users. 
- +  * Possibility to publish data that is archived in the RDMS. 
-[[rdms-support@rug.nl]]+  * Improvements for the project archiving workflow.
