[Ottawa, ON]

CANARIE, a vital component of Canada’s digital infrastructure supporting research, education and innovation, today released the results of a community consultation on gaps and opportunities in Canada’s research data management ecosystem. The results of the community consultation, conducted earlier this year, helped define the funding priorities in CANARIE’s first call for proposals under its Research Data Management program.

The community consultation identified gaps and opportunities for software development in eight areas: enriching (meta)data and discovery; federated repositories/interoperability; domain-specific repositories; data deposit and curation; preservation; persistent IDs/citability; data access and analytics; and data security and privacy. More detail on these themes may be found in the community consultation summary here.
