RDMS Research Projects

A project is defined as a formal research project container that may can consist of data and metadata and can have triggers for data handling. For instance; in a project it is possible to Archive data. A project is managed by a project manager or data manager; these roles manage the access to the files and folders of the project.

It is also possible to create a team drive and later convert the created drive to a RDMS project. A team drive is an area where people can share data and cooperate using the same data objects. The difference between a group drive and a project is that a group drive does not receive the project guarding metadata tags.

Upon selecting the Projects section you will see a list of the projects where you have a role or a user privilege. By selecting a project, properties of the project; metadata templates and applicable policies and the project members are shown.

If you have the proper rights you can start by adding data and defining the project or the other way around; first define a project and then add the data.

Once a project is created, one can add collections and data objects to that particular project. For more information about uploading data, please refer to the section about data.
