This project proposal deals with the development of a Generic Research Data Infrastructure (GeRDI). In a first phase three pilote data centers supporting the management of research data will be developed. These pilote centers will be linked up with each other so that research data can be used across disciplinary boundaries, enabling new opportunities for multi-disciplinary research. In a second phase which is not part of this proposal, the developed solution can be rolled-out in Germany and - if appropriate funding will be available - serve as a model for a future German Research Data Infrastructure.GeRDI addresses the long tail of research data, i.e. primarily users from universities with moderate amounts of data and without existing and well organised data management communities.
