The course can be taken as a whole, or attendees can select modules. The course features interactive training and discussion sessions, quizzes, and assignments to help users become familiar with:
- Why data management is important and how it can, and arguably should be, part of an organisation's business management framework alongside quality, occupational health and safety, and information security
- The role of a data policy and management plan, and how data can be shared, published and re-used
- Data management principles, standards and components, including data lifecycle and quality, the role of vocabularies (or data dictionaries) and the importance of creating, maintaining and publishing metadata
- The resources and other benefits of MEDIN, plus practical instruction in the use of the MEDIN data guidelines, metadata standard and controlled vocabularies
- How data management ‘best practice’ can improve organisational efficiency in data acquisition, analysis, curation and sharing. It covers data use with respect to corporate risk, re-use, audit and traceability, whilst at the same time helping minimising costs
The course will equip attendees to better meet the challenge of keeping on top of the ever-increasing volumes and types of data that are being created and how to manage this data and make it available to users as meaningful information.
