DISC-UK project

DISC-UK project within the JISC website provides details of a collaboration between four UK universities as to the management of data relating to social sciences. Edinburgh, Oxford, London school of economics and Southampton, will combine efforts to promote data resources, and the importance of supporting data, as well as sharing information. It will be an exciting case study for those interested in the area of social sciences to follow in seeing what will emerge from this for related disciplines.

INFO528 module 4 (already!)

The module four presentation was mostly concerned with issues of ethics and theory in the research project. It is a module which is likely to be particularly pertinent to the field in which I will be researching. I believe one of the main issues of data curation and sharing itself will be regarding anonymity, security, use of resources, permissions, in how the data is likely to be shared.
