At least the following things need to be added or adjusted. Please use the VU page RDM tools as a reference.

  • Include this video
  • Tool selection guide: For data storage, refer to the Data Storage Finder instead of providing considerations here. I'm not sure about the rest of the Tool selection guide. I would like to discuss this with @peer35 and @Elisa-on-GitHub.
  • Change the headings: instead of referring to phases, I would use the categories used on the current RDM tools page. Not all phases in this PR make sense (e.g. 'Storage & Backup Phase') and they are not in line with the terminology in our research life cycle. So let's use 'Data collection tools', 'Data analysis tools' etc.
  • Add GitLab to 'Software & Code Repositories'
  • Add categories 'Research Software' and 'Trainings and Knowledge Items'
  • Add SURFdrive to 'Active Research Storage' and 'Sharing & Collaboration'
  • Add Atlas.ti to 'Data analysis tools'
  • Add SURFfilesender
  • Add an image summarizing all tools NeRDS provides
