Databases for research (N1)

We intend to:

• Create the infrastructure to provide databases and data management as a service.

We plan to deliver:

• The provision of databases to cater for different types of data. The following are in scope SQL data, noSQL data, Graph and Linked data, and GeoSpatial data.
• Lab notebooks.

The benefits:

• Consistent way to manage and curate data, for now and the future.
• Avoidance of loss of data assets due to changes in staff changes in software.
• Better security in managing data. 
• Better understanding of the diversity of data assets. 
• Create the possibility of leveraging compatible datasets.
• Future proofing data access through stopping the proliferation of databases within the enterprise. 
• Lower the cost of managing data. 
• Improve teaching activities through enabling access to researcher data assets in a consistent and controlled manner.
