-====== Research Data Management System ======
+====== 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 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, there 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 RDMS binds two important principles in current science: Open Science and the FAIR principles. It provides tools for making your data findable, to share your data and to classify the data with metadata to promote and enhance re-usability. The data is safely stored within the datacloud of the UG and the RDMS offers a connection with Pure for publication and registration.
+The current storage solutions (X/Y drive, [[https://unishare.nl/|Unishare]], Google Drive, NAS) do not sufficiently meet the current data management systems standards.
-The RDMS offers:
+With the RDMS we aim to fulfil the requirements that modern data management brings.
-  * A centralized storage system for research data
-  * A safe solution for managing and archiving files
+**Current RDMS functionality (April 2024):**
-  * The option to add metadata to files and folders to enhance findability and reusability
+  * A centralized storage system for research data, hosted on UG premises.
-  * The option to share data with students and scientists within the UG
+  * A safe solution for managing and archiving files.
-  * Secure storage of the data on different levels depending on the vulnerability of the data
+  * The  option  to  add  metadata  to  files  and  collections  and  folders  for  increased searchability and findability.
-  * A connection with Pure for publication and registration
+  * Ability to implement automated data policies.
-  * A connection to Peregrine for easy transfer of data
+  * Sharing data with scientists within the UG.
+  * 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.
+**Important new features that are in progress:**
+  * Possibility to collaborate with external users.
+  * Possibility to publish data that is archived in the RDMS.
+  * Improvements for the project archiving workflow.
 ===== Support =====
-Primary support of the RDMS is done by the [[https://www.rug.nl/digital-competence-centre/|Digital Competence Center]] (DCC). All members of UG staff can log in to the RDMS, and the DCC can help with organizing the data structure for your personal use or for groups and projects. Please contact the DCC with any questions about the RDMS: [[https://www.rug.nl/digital-competence-centre/contact/contact-the-dcc|dcc@rug.nl]].
+Primary support of the RDMS is given by the RDMS support team, who will help you with any questions about using the system.  Please mail us at: [[rdms-support@rug.nl|rdms-support@rug.nl]] for help, but also for feedback and new feature requests.
+==== User Training ====
