Developing a Community Capability Model Framework for data-intensive research
Researchers across a range of fields have been inspired by the
possibilities of data-intensive research. In many cases, however,
researchers find themselves unable to take part due to a lack of
facilities, insufficient access to data, cultural disincentives, and a
range of other impediments. In order to develop a deeper
understanding of this, UKOLN, University of Bath and Microsoft
Research have been collaborating on developing a Community
Capability Model Framework (CCMF) designed to assist
institutions, research funding-bodies and researchers to enhance
the capability of their communities to perform data-intensive
research. This paper explores the rationale for using capability
modelling for informing the development of data-intensive
research and outlines the main capability factors underlying the
current version of the CCMF.
