ACTI Data Management (ACTI-DM) Working Group

ACTI-DM Mission

The ACTI Data Management (ACTI-DM) Working Group focuses on emerging challenges to how institutions manage large online data collections, be they the product of research or the product of administrative processes. There are technological challenges stemming from the interactions among cloud options, broadening access requirements, and the sheer size of datasets, and policy challenges stemming largely from agency requirements and privacy concerns. The group identifies issues in this area and seeks to provide solutions to problems through the development of white papers, best practices, case studies, presentations, and other means.

This group was created during the July 2011 ACTI membership meeting, with the first call of the group held in October 2011. See the ACTI-DM Working Group Status Report (1/10/12) for more information about its current efforts.
