Abstract
This paper examines how adoption of an electronic lab notebook can facilitate a research data
management programme, using the design and integration of the RSpace electronic lab
notebook at the University of Edinburgh as an example.
The three planks of Edinburgh’s Research Data Management plan are:
1. Datastore for storing data in active use
2. Datashare: a repository for publishing data
3. Data Vault for long term data storage
RSpace has been integrated with the Edinburgh environment and is available for trial
deployment from September.
