Research Data Management System

The RDMS binds two important principles in current science: Open Science and the FAIR principles. It provides tools to 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.

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 findability and reusability.
• 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 Hábrók, Linix Workspace and Snellius for easy transfer of data.

Primary support of the RDMS is given by the RDMS support team. All members of UG staff can log in to the RDMS. Please contact the RDMS support with any questions about the system: rdms-support@rug.nl.

This document is mainly targeted towards the end-users and the technical information is limited to the required minimum. The main processes such as making a connection, uploading your data, adding metadata, adding or removing collaborators, etc. are explained.
