Furthering Open Science through Research Data Management Services
As I begin my second year at CDL, I am excited to outline the objectives and key activities for my work: furthering research data management (RDM) practices that support open science at the University of California and beyond. I conceptualize our work in the larger context of what an ideal RDM ecosystem might be: wherein […]

Introducing the FAIR Island Project
Imagine a dream scenario for Open Data advocates: the field station with an optimal data policy for open access, mandatory registration requirements for all research projects, and data management plans containing controlled vocabularies and identifiers implementing global standards wherever possible. A research institution where all researchers are required to create data management plans (DMPs) for […]
NSF EAGER Grant for Actionable DMPs
We’re delighted to announce that the California Digital Library has been awarded a 2-year NSF EAGER grant to support active, machine-actionable data management plans (DMPs). The vision is to convert DMPs from a compliance exercise based on static text documents into a key component of a networked research data management ecosystem that not only facilitates, […]
