Please excuse duplicate postings. Building Capabilities for Sustainable Research Data Management Practices A workshop at ASIST annual meeting, October 15, 2016, Copenhagen, Denmark This workshop will introduce these methodologies (CMM for RDM document (http://rdm.ischool.syr.edu/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ and the Community Capability Model CCMFhttps://communitymodel.sharepoint.com/Pages/default.aspx) as the materials for workshop discussion, activities, and input from the participants. The Workshop will engage participants through a series of key research questions: ? What are the benefits of RDM assessment? ? What is the most useful approach to benchmarking RDM capability? ? Which RDM practices are most suited to CMM/CCMF assessment? ? What are the desirable RDM community norms? ? How can RDM sustainability be achieved? The organizers Kevin Crowston and Jian Qin organized a similar workshop a few years ago, which was well attended. Earlier this year Liz Lyon and Christoph Becker organized a Birds of a Feather session at the International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC) on the topic of Community Capability Model for data-intensive research. There was a strong interest in both CMM for RDM and CCMF from the audience. We anticipate that this workshop will raise awareness of research data management process assessment while informing the audience about the best practices and tools available for them to achieve optimal performance in initiating and undertaking RDM projects and delivering RDM services.
