Emerging RDM Services
We find Repository Managers taking active role in shaping ‘soft’ liaison roles as well as technical ones.
So what RDM services should the repository deliver and how do these integrate with other university provision?

Issues
Who does the repository need to interact with to address e.g.
• Commercial data – licensing complexities?
• Who deals with abandoned data in ‘active’ storage?
• How to deal with data from retiring staff, unfunded groups?
• When staff leave what should go with them?
• How do we trust external repositories?
• What new workflows and roles for data publication?
