[Rdap] Security/Storage Systems - DMP Language

[Sebastian Karcher]

I'd consider including this good practice. Having such documentation (as you say, at a high level) is part of the World Data System/Data Seal of Approval criteria for trustworthy digital repositories [1] (see R9). DSA publishes all past self-assessments, so you can look at some of the language used by repositories (using an older version of the criteria) on their assessment page [2]

Hope that helps,

Subject: [Rdap] Security/Storage Systems - DMP Language

Hello:

Our institution's library and Data Management Committee are in the process of developing data management plan language for our researchers.

There has been discussion regarding how much information to include regarding the security and storage systems used in our operations.  There is a proposed paragraph that would describe at a very high level the infrastructure and software suite used by our institution's IT team, how those systems back up data, and general (but not precise) locations of where backup tapes are kept.

One member of the Committee expressed concerns over divulging this type of information externally.  Opinions and feedback are appreciated.
