Assessment of the active data management ecosystem at Western Sydney University

This is a report on a project that tested the Research Data Management Framework for Institutions, developed by the ARDC and 25 Australian universities under the Institutional Underpinnings Program. Western Sydney University (WSU) has engaged its cloud services provider Intersect to provide access to Mediaflux on an Intersect research data management platform called Idea. Idea has been designed with the intention of managing research data throughout the full data lifecycle from collection to archiving. About the Institutional Underpinnings Program In partnership with 25 Australian universities, we created a jointly-agreed Research Data Management Framework for Institutions to manage, share, retain and dispose of research data. Each partner university conducted projects to validate and test an aspect of the framework in their local contexts. This is a report on one of the projects.
