Cathy Pink of UKOLN and Jez Cope of the University of Bath, both members of the JISC-funded Research360 Project, will be running a workshop entitled Exploiting Research Data for Teaching (Workshop 188) on 11 September 2012 at the ALT-C 2012 Conference in Manchester. This workshop will explore how research data can be exploited for learning and teaching in Further and Higher Education, addressing the following questions:
- What is research data?
- How can data be exploited for teaching and learning?
- Where can I find suitable data?
- What licence applies to the data and how do I comply?
- What contextual information is needed to make effective use of data?
Further information on this workshop is available.

Digital Research 2012 (formally the UK e-Science All-Hands Meeting) is being held in St. Catherine’s College, Oxford, over 10-12 September 2012. It is supported by the eResearch South Consortium, in which UKOLN is a partner.
The goal of the Digital Research 2012 Conference is to showcase today’s digital research practice and innovation, and to set an influential agenda for tomorrow. The Conference theme is the Future of Digital Research and the organisers invite short papers, stories and videos giving your glimpse of “Digital Research in the Future” in (and between) any disciplines. They encourage originality and forward-thinking, and there will be awards for the best-rated submissions.
Further information on the Call for Contributions is available from the Digital Research 2012 Web site.

The 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.
