Development of a Nation-wide Research Data Management Platform Leveraged by Open Science Framework 

This session shares our experiences on a nation-wide Research Data Management (RDM) platform in Japan by using Open Science Framework developed by Center for Open Science in U.S.A. The surrounding contexts of RDM like Open Science and Research Integrity have been quickly changing and the supporting technologies of RDM have been dramatically changing due to the speed of Dog Year for digital technologies. To tackle these situations, National Institute of Infomatics (NII) has been developing and operating a nation-wide RDM platform "Gakunin RDM" for the entire Japanese higher educational institutions. Currently over 100 institutions have been using Gakunin RDM since 2022. Through the course, several challenges are emerging due to the major customizations requested by institutional users. These are common to any Open Source projects. In this talk, we will introduce the challenges by the following three parts:
1. What is Open Science Framework
2. Current status of Gakunin RDM
3. Current major challenges
