Abstract
Managing data is a strategic problem for HE institutional managers and a technical problem for IT staff. This report provides an overview of some concepts and pragmatic approaches as well as tools that can help address this strategic and technical problem.
Specifically, this report: 1) describes data-centric architectures; 2) gives some examples of how organisations are already sharing data and discusses this from a data-centric perspective; 3) introduces some tools and technologies that can support data-centric architectures as well as some new models of data management; 4) concludes with a look at the direction of travel. This report also provides a glossary to help clarify key terms and a ‘References’ section listing works cited.
