Case studies
To better relate theory to practice, we offer a range of case studies carried out by DCC. Use cases describe how research data management and curation are being addressed in practice, illustrating how relevant challenges are addressed and opportunities explored by researchers, their institutions and service providers. They include use cases for selected tools, applications and services.
The studies provide examples of digital curation practice across a range of disciplines. Some identify areas where additional guidance, tools and research are required.
Listed below are PDF copies of just a few recent study reports. For further details on SCARP and more studies select SCARP from the menu on the left.

I2S2 project
I2S2 project
The aim of the Infrastructure for Integration in Structural Sciences (I2S2) project was to uncover what’s needed to implement a data-driven research infrastructure in the structural sciences – chemistry in particular. Issues of scale, complexity and inter-disciplinary research throughout the data lifecycle were explored over 18 months from October 2009 to March 2011.
