The DISC-UK DataShare project ended last year, and so this marks the end of this blog. We did write up our self-evaluation for JISC, our funder, in December, which any project followers might be interested to read.
As for followup activities, there are many. Oxford is undertaking the Embedding Institutional Data Curation Services in Research (EIDCSR), funded by JISC. Southampton also has a new JISC-funded project, Institutional Data Management Blueprint, which aims to 'to create a practical and attainable institutional framework for managing research data that facilitates ambitious national and international e-research practice.' Edinburgh produced online guidance for University staff on research data management and continues to host and develop the Edinburgh DataShare repository service developed as part of the project.
All three partners are interested in pursuing institutional policies for research data management. We'll continue to collaborate actively through DISC-UK.

DataShare's aim is to contribute to new models, workflows and tools for academic data sharing with emphasis on stewardship of institutional knowledge assets of all types; new technologies to enhance e-Research; new research council policies and mandates; and the growth of the Open Access / Open Data movement. This blog will act as a current awareness and dissemination tool in addition to being a discussion forum.
Academic research datasets have special requirements for storing and sharing. The DISC-UK Datashare project, 2007-9, seeks to help institutional repositories in UK higher education meet these requirements. This JISC-funded project is coordinated by EDINA and builds on the existing informal collaboration of DISC-UK (Data Information Specialists Committee—UK) members for improving their data libraries and models of social science data support.
