Visualizing Research Data Records for their Better Management
Tuesday, June 12th, 2012The Journal of Digital Information, Volume 13, Number 1 features several papers dealing with research data management, including one by Alex Ball of UKOLN and the Digital Curation Centre, and Mansur Darlington, Thomas Howard, Chris McMahon and Steve Culley of the IdMRC at the University of Bath. In “Visualizing Research Data Records for their Better Management”, they present a UML2-based method of recording associations between research data records, so that the provenance, context and relative importance of the various records may be better understood by anyone not immediately familiar with the research. This paper relates to work carried out by the JISC-funded ERIM Project.
