//I’ve been quiet—too quiet—about the Orbital project recently. While I’ve not been blogging, Joss, Nick and Harry have overseen several fairly important developments: The move away from using a datastore written in-house, toward CKAN software The development of the concept of an Orbital “bridge” application to tie various RDM applications together (VRE anyone?) The (alpha) […]
//One of the things that Orbital set out to do is to prove that agile development of software and solutions can arrive at the same outcome as a more traditional ‘waterfall’ method of project planning. A big part of this is the “release often” approach to development, shipping new versions far more quickly than is […]
//Introduction The Orbital Implementation Plan (WP6) is intended to be a synthesis of our initial user requirements gathering (WP5), an assessment of Engineering research data (WP9), an evaluation of standards and technologies (WP10), informed by a literature review of previous work relevant to the Research Data Management (RDM) domain as it relates the discipline of […]
