Message-ID: <4a05cce2f7a24eb2a8e8467ede24e2a3@EX13-MBX-09.ad.syr.edu> ------------This announcement has been posted to multiple lists. Please excuse the duplicates------------ We are very pleased to announce the official launch of a new wiki for the Capability Maturity Model for Research Data Management, at http://rdm.ischool.syr.edu. Is your institution, organization, or project trying to evaluate improvements that are needed for your research data management process? The guidelines and rubrics included in this wiki can help with the evaluation of each individual practice within the overall research data management process. This capability maturity model is an aspirational model which helps you to see not only how far you've come, but also what steps you can continue to take to improve your research data management process. Now, we need your feedback! Are there practices in your research data management process that we did not address? Can you provide additional concrete examples at any maturity level? Can you provide any tips on how your institution was able to overcome a particular hurdle with regards to the research data management process? Can you help us to prioritize the weight of each different practice, to help us turn this model into a more quantitative tool? If so, the wiki is waiting for your contributions. You can leave comments, add tags, and even edit or add to pages. With your interaction, we hope this wiki will be a valuable resource for the research data management community. You can read more about it at: http://rdm.ischool.syr.edu/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/CMM4RDM+v10+is+officially+launched.
