2. Use cases/Gaps
07/04/2015 Data Management Administration Online (DMAOnline) 2
» Example use cases (3 of many)
› As an RDM manager, I want to know the number of DMPs
created against funding council grants (or beyond) so that
support can be provided at point of need.
› As an IT manager, I want to know the trend of dataset
generation and disk space usage so that I can incorporate
additional storage purchase in next year’s plan.
› As a PVC(Research), I want to have an overview of my
institution’s response to the funders expectations so that we can
achieve compliance.

3. DMAOnline to the rescue
» What is DMAOnline?
› All the RDM information you need in a single place.
› A platform independent and scalable dashboard with a plug-n-
play architecture for data sources.
» The long-term vision
› This has the potential to be a sector wide dashboard tool that
can be extended beyond RDM and used by any HEI easily.
