 ====== 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.
+The Research Data Management System (RDMS) is the **long-term data storage** solution for the University of Groningen (UG). It helps researchers comply with the 10-year data storage requirement outlined in the UG and the NWO data management policies. RDMS is designed to help researchers adhere to the  [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_science|Open science]] framework and the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAIR_data|FAIR data principles]], while also considering the regulations imposed by the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation|GDPR]].
+RDMS offers [[https://wiki.hpc.rug.nl/rdms/solution/multizone|two zones]]: one for sensitive research data (Sensitive Data Zone) and one for non-sensitive research data (Default Data Zone). It uses the open source data management software [[https://irods.org/|iRODS]].
-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 metadata management, visualisation of user permissions and policy implementations, and access audit.
+**Current RDMS functionality (January 2025):**
-With the RDMS we aim to meet the requirements of modern data management.
-**Current RDMS functionality (April 2024):**
   * A centralized long-term data storage system for research data (both sensitive and non-sensitive data).
   * Data sharing within the UG.
