The document summarizes the outputs and findings of the KAPTUR project. It produced four main outputs: an environmental assessment report, technical analysis report, costing model, and pilot demonstration service. The technical analysis report analyzed 17 data management systems and recommended further analysis of four top systems. The pilot used EPrints, Figshare, and DataStage to test supporting visual arts research data. The project identified challenges for researchers in managing and preserving their data.

5. Environmental Assessment Report
•Formed the basis of the technical side of the project
• The report outlined:
- Challenges on handling research data
- Use/reuse of research data
- Preservation issues
• The conclusions were:
- Researchers agree research data is important
for them, students and the general public
- Researchers want to share data
- VA researchers document their research process but not using any
standard or methodology
