Research Data Management,

Research Data Management (RDM) encompasses the organization, protection, accessibility, use and documentation of research data throughout its entire life cycle, from the planning of the project to the subsequent use of the data. It supports quality and sustainability efforts and is helpful in identifying legal and ethical aspects right from the start of the project. The principle of «as open as possible, as closed as necessary» applies here.

An important element of Open Science is Open Research Data (PDF, 123KB), the shared use of large and small data sets in the scientific community.
