Eligible costs schema—we will publish an overview of the current project application process highlighting what can be claimed. Alongside this we will publish and maintain a schema of eligible costs pre-agreed with the funders.
Example budgets and templates—we will collate a 'bank' of example budgets and budget templates incorporating the eligible costs above.
Example business cases and templates—we will survey the sector to see where services have been implemented and where possible seek to obtain exemplar business cases. We will collate a 'bank' of example business cases and business case templates. If necessary we can act as a “trusted third party” to incorporate information (suitably redacted) that the owners might consider too commercially sensitive to share directly.
Awareness raising—we will encourage the sharing of awareness raising materials and methods
Cost study data—we will publish case study data re costs. In the short term this is likely to originate from the RDSS project.
Harmonised costing—we will publish a data type versus relative system impact matrixWe will then use the data type / impact matrix to produce a simple (Excel for instance) tool to allow individual institutions to investigate their own data type weightings.
4C Cost Comparison Tool—we will:
Encourage take-up of the tool (highlighting its potential to allow inter period comparisons and/or inter- department comparisons within an organisation)
Consider the feasibility and if possible undertake the re-development of the tool for full life-cycle costing
RDM Sustainability Model—taking the 4C Digital Curation Sustainability Model (and/or other relevant models) as a starting point we will produce a sustainability model to be used for the full RDM lifecycle.
Cost recovery specification—we will draft a cost monitoring and recovery specification to allow institutions to implement their own solutions. We will work with suppliers of financial systems to incorporate appropriate cost recovery mechanisms based upon this specification in existing and future tools. The RDSS project provides us with an opportunity to road test the specification, if not see it through to a completed product.
