The document discusses research data in creative fields and Jisc's Research Data Shared Service (RDSS) to help manage such data. RDSS aims to enable open science through efficient capture, preservation and reuse of research data. It will provide core functions like deposit, description, storage, publication and preservation of data, as well as reporting and advisory services. RDSS addresses key issues in research data management to help reduce costs and risks for researchers and institutions.

RCUK Common Principles on Data Policy
Publicly funded research data are a public good, produced in
the public interest, which should be made openly available
with as few restrictions as possible in a timely and
responsible manner
Royal Society: Science as an Open Enterprise 2012
…to allow free and open access, and in ways
that are intelligible, assessable and usable for other
specialists in the same or linked fields wherever they are in the
world

10. Why a Shared Service?
There is no single “solution” easily
available and that meets
requirements for Universities to
enable better management of
research data
