A good example of advanced thinking

Potential Research Data Repository data-management use-cases

The milestones researchers think about—grant applications, awards, data capture, data analysis, interim-report writing, article authoring, renewal applications, and so forth—barely appear in data-management models.

Our friends and colleagues at University of Western Sydney are working on three ANDS funded projects almost concurrently.
Not only are they doing a Seeding the Commons project, but this is interlinked with a Data Capture project and a Metadata Stores project also.

This has afforded UWS the opportunity to do what we in ANDS call "joined up thinking". They have very neatly and graphically captured and published their ideas and outcomes via their eResearch blog.

This post captures and describes some very good thinking on work flows and provides clear examples of what is possible and what effort is required.

Highly recommended reading :-)
