Creating a Data Management Framework

The Australian National Data Service has released a guide titled: Creating a Data Management Framework

from announcement to Research Data Management list:

Creating a Data Management Framework is designed for institutions which
are committed to improving their research data management
infrastructure.
http://ands.org.au/guides/dmframework/data-management-framework.html

The Framework outlines four basic elements required within an
institutional context to support effective data management.  These are:

 *   Institutional policy and procedures (see http://ands.org.au/guides/dmframework/dmf-policies-and-procedures.html for further detail),
 *   IT Infrastructure: the hardware, software and other facilities which underpin data-related activities, (see http://ands.org.au/guides/dmf-it-infrastructure.html for further detail)
 *   Support services: people and other means of providing advice and
support, such as web-pages (further information forthcoming), and
 *   Metadata management: so that data records can be used for both
internal and external purposes (further information forthcoming).

Metadata Storage Solutions provides details of various approaches being
taken by ANDS partners to provide effective metadata storage for their
institutions.  See http://ands.org.au/guides/metadata-stores-solutions.html
