Research Data Management

This chapter discusses research community practices in research data management, related rules and supporting research data management infrastructure, metadata tools, and registries. Current research data management is built around FAIR data principles: research data must be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable. The chapter also reviews Open Science and Open Access principles. Research Data Management has many specifics compared to enterprise or public data management. Open Science and Open Access are two of the movements that shape today’s research data management. We will pay attention to this at the beginning to provide context to further discussion how they are implemented technically.
