This document discusses where collaboration on research data management (RDM) should occur. It describes potential spaces for RDM collaboration at the interplanetary, international, national, regional, and institutional levels. At the institutional level, the key components of an RDM program are identified as strategies, policies, guidelines, processes, technologies, and services. Drivers for RDM, influencing factors, and stakeholders are also discussed. Challenges to collaboration mentioned include developing a shared national vision to avoid a divided support system, and overcoming territorial and identity issues within institutions.

12. Identity “dispositions” of professional staff
(adapted from a slide by Dr Celia Whitchurch, Institute of Education)
Identity ‘dispositions’ Characteristics
‘Bounded professionals’
(voluntary or involuntary)
Work within clear structural boundaries (eg
specialist function , job description)
‘Cross-boundary
professionals’
Actively use boundaries and cross-boundary
knowledge for strategic advantage and
institutional capacity building
‘Unbounded professionals’ Lack of consciousness of boundaries; focus
on broadly-based projects across the
university, and contribute to institutional
development
‘Blended professionals’ Dedicated appointments spanning
professional and academic domains
