Research Data Management System

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.

The RDMS currently offers:

• A centralized storage system for research data.
• 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 share data with students and scientists within the UG.
• Secure storage of the data on different levels depending on the vulnerability of the data.
• A connection to the HPC clusters Hábrók and Snellius as well as the Linux Workspace for easy, scriptable data transfer.

Primary support of the RDMS is given by the RDMS support team. Please contact the RDMS support with any questions about the system:

For information about upcoming RDMS training events (workshops, presentations, etc.), please refer to the User Training section of this wiki. There, you also find the available training materials from past events which can be used.

This document is mainly targeted towards the end-users. Actions such as connecting to and interacting with the RDMS, uploading and downloading data, working with metadata, adding or removing collaborators, are the main topics explained in this user manual.
