[Ina Smith]

Hi Nikki

Am glad that this will help. Hope you can pick up on the RDM project again, or join other initiatives in our country. Also see the work done by DIRISA http://www.dirisa.ac.za/

See Services http://www.dirisa.ac.za/services as well as the other email on the Pilot DMP tool.

Pilot Tools
·         The Dirisa Data Management Planning Tool which is based on the DCCOnline Tool is available on pilot.meraka.csir.co.za. Please note: This is still a pilot and the tool is available only for testing purposes. Any comments/bugs found on the tool during testing can be directed to ashozi at csir.co.za<mailto:ashozi at csir.co.za>

Kind regards
Ina

Thank you for sharing this key bit of information Ina.
When we had proposed an RDM project, a key objection raised was the lack of data sets and the time to obtain one given as a reason to not proceed. The project never got underway.

Regards
Nikki

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of free data sets available, ready to be used and analyzed by anyone willing to look for them.
