The ADMIRAL Project: A Data Management Infrastructure for Research Across the Life sciences

ADMIRAL is a project of the Image Bioinformatics Research Group and is funded by the JISC.

The purpose of the ADMIRAL Project is to create a two-tier federated data management infrastructure for use by life science researchers, that will provide services (a) to meet their local data management needs for the collection, digital organization, metadata annotation and controlled sharing of biological datasets; and (b) to provide an easy and secure route for archiving annotated datasets to an institutional repository, The Oxford University Data Store, for long-term preservation and access, complete with assigned Digital Object Identifiers and Creative Commons open access licences.

As such, it seeks to promote datasets as first class information objects, and particularly aims to serve the ‘long tail’ of small research groups that do not have the resources to create their own data management tools. It will form part of Oxford's contributions to the UK Research Data Service pathfinder activities (http://www.ukrds.ac.uk/), providing a working exemplar of data management of real biological research datasets provided by bench and field research scientists.

The project is more fully explained in the ADMIRAL Project Case for Support.
