The steadily growing importance of research data management and the technologisation of almost all areas of the humanities and especially the natural sciences is leading to ever-increasing volumes of research data. Even if this is a very welcome development in terms of the reusability of existing research results, among other things, it also poses technical and organisational challenges for research data managers. These include an increase in the resources required in all phases of the research data lifecycle, both in terms of technology and personnel; legal and ethical challenges can also arise or simply a loss of overview.
With this background, the Working Group for Research Data Management in Baden-Württemberg (AK FDM), in cooperation with the State Initiative for Research Data bwFDM, has published a guide that provides practical approaches on how to reduce the necessary technical and organisational resources through digital data economy. In this event, Dr Sophie Habinger and Maximilian Heber (State Initiative bwFDM) will first present the background and core elements of the guidelines. We then look forward to your questions and invite you to a discussion on the topic of digital data minimisation.
The guidelines have been published in the following versions:
