[Mahendra Mahey]

Colleagues

DevCSI (http://devcsi.ukoln.ac.uk) and JISC recently ran a 'Managing
Research Data Hack event' (http://devcsi.ukoln.ac.uk/past-events/mrd-
hack-days/) on the 3-4 May in Manchester,2012.

The event report has now been published on the DevCSI blog:

http://devcsi.ukoln.ac.uk/2012/05/11/event-report-managing-research-data-hack-day/

Some highlights include:

- Considering the use of SWORD 2 and BitTorrent to deal with large
datasets
- A proof-of-concept centralised service for tracking activity data
around research projects and individual datasets
- User perspectives on metadata for datasets and examining a common
schema to describe metadata for datasets

There are several multimedia interviews with attendees who talked
about what they learned, discussed and worked on at the event.

We hope you find the blog report useful and please feel free to reply
to it or contact me for further details. Please watch out for similar
future follow up events in this area from DevCSI and JISC.

Thanks
