The Orbital project has now formally begun. As ‘lead researcher’, I’m making a start by building a reading list of material related to research data management.
In fact, we’re going to be setting aside offline reading mornings as a part of the project calendar, so that I (and the project team) have the time to read through the considerable literature around MRD.
The reading list is stored in RefWorks for the moment, at: http://lncn.eu/hmx5 
If you have any suggestions for books, articles, or papers that the project team ought to be reading, we’d be very grateful.
