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

More effective Research Data Management must happen to comply with Funder Mandates, ensure data is not lost, and to realise a whole range of positive benefits
A shared service (provided by Jisc) seems to offer a number of benefits:
Cost savings and efficiencies
Common approaches and practice – do this together
Research system standardisation and interoperability ( do it once rather than many times! , & also address it across essential systems so we can key once and share)
Address market gaps
How and why we’ve got to where we are

* This year, the University of Westminster will be piloting RDSS within their existing information infrastructure.* Since 2013, the University has been using Haplo Research Manager as their Virtual Research Environment.* As well as CRIS, postgraduate research workflows and research ethics functions, it provides the University's repository, integrating REF and Open Access management.* It has excellent buy-in from researchers, as a "one stop shop" for research information with an compelling user experience.* This is their current setup, with a custom hybrid Haplo/EPrints repository.* Information flows from University systems into Haplo.* Researchers self-deposit outputs into the Haplo Repository module, and a workflow helps them work with the metadata team to prepare their outputs for publication.* When published, outputs are pushed to EPrints which provides the public view of the repository.* The researcher's full research profile, including publications, is pushed to the corporate web site.
* By August 2018, Westminster will be using an "all Haplo" Repository.* EPrints will be retired,* and Haplo will provide the public interface of Westminster repository.* The project is lead by the Research and Scholarly Communications team based in Library and Archives at UoW in collaboration with University of Westminster academics* The move is motivated by a desire to use a standard repository, using the Haplo core product with a small amount of local configuration on top.* Haplo Repository provides many "building blocks", and Westminster have selected the ones most appropriate for their research.* In particular, collections workflow, support for practice-based research, and REF & OA reporting* Westminster are working with two other institutions to define common workflows and reporting, aiming to launch their new repositories at roughly the same time.
* By the end of the year, Westminster will be using RDSS services for preservation.* Haplo already has initial support for the RDSS message bus.* The Haplo developers like the RDSS because a single interface allows integration with many different research data components: "we get many integrations for the price of one"* The flexibility of the RDSS allows Westminster to pick the components they need, and easily integrate into their research information infrastructure.
