The document provides an overview of managing data within a smart data environment, detailing the importance of data and metadata, as well as licensing considerations for research data. It highlights various laboratories and research groups focused on areas such as urban planning, simulation for transport systems, and more. Additionally, it outlines IT systems for data management, including shared drives and metadata systems, and emphasizes the support available from the university library for publishing and data reuse.

What is data?
A result of measurements whereby the
material, regardless of format, is
intended to be analysed, such as the
basis of graphs, images, or observations
of a set of variables. It refers to the
qualitative or quantitative attributes of a
variable or a set of variables.

55. Shared Drive
• One shared drive for all data – 1.1 TB (yesterday)
• All SMART researchers get access to this drive
• ITS created a PowerShell script that then allows
the data manager to create folders within the drive
• Researchers are then added to the folders
• Access to data as per data Licence
