Training "ABC of Research Data Management (RDM)"

2026

Abstract

This training material is Module 1 of 5 of the training series by the EPFL Library RDM team. It introduces the fundamentals of Research Data Management (RDM): key concepts and terminology, the Research Data Lifecycle, FAIR principles, Open Science and Open Research Data, and an overview of EPFL and funder policy requirements (SNSF, Horizon Europe).

Designed for an instructor-led online or onsite workshop (~90 min, introductory level), it is published as an Open Educational Resource (OER). The package includes slides (.pptx and .odp with some speaker notes), a static PDF export, and a README.

Here are the OER related to the five modules:

Apollo command and service module

The Apollo command and service module (CSM) was one of two principal components of the United States Apollo spacecraft, used for the Apollo program, which landed astronauts on the Moon between 1969 and 1972. The CSM functioned as a mother ship, which carried a crew of three astronauts and the second Apollo spacecraft, the Apollo Lunar Module, to lunar orbit, and brought the astronauts back to Earth.

Apollo Lunar Module

The Apollo Lunar Module (LM ˈlɛm), originally designated the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), was the lunar lander spacecraft that was flown between lunar orbit and the Moon's surface during the United States' Apollo program. It was the first crewed spacecraft to operate exclusively in the airless vacuum of space, and remains the only crewed vehicle to land anywhere beyond Earth. Structurally and aerodynamically incapable of flight through Earth's atmosphere, the two-stage lunar module was ferried to lunar orbit attached to the Apollo command and service module (CSM), about twice its mass.

Data management

Data management comprises all disciplines related to handling data as a valuable resource. The concept of data management arose in the 1980s as technology moved from sequential processing (first punched cards, then magnetic tape) to random access storage. Since it was now possible to store a discrete fact and quickly access it using random access disk technology, those suggesting that data management was more important than business process management used arguments such as "a customer's home address is stored in 75 (or some other large number) places in our computer systems.
