Abstract
RDM services in India is at the nascent level. Most of the libraries are still exploring
opportunities and gaining knowledge in this emerging area to implement RDM services in
the future fully. RDR is one of the essential RDM services offered by libraries. In India, there
are over 50 RDRs are covered in re3data.org. But the maximum of them are general data
repositories that cover factual data sources. Also, these repositories are separate among
institutional, ministries/funding agencies and national data repositories and have duplicate
data elements. In India, there is a need to develop a national RDR that is interoperable with
ministry/ funding agencies level and institutional level RDRs and need to establish the
national level research data services like UK Data Service, Research Data Canada, Research
Data Management - Science Europe, National Research Data Infrastructure Germany, Swedish
National Data Service (SND), Landelijk Coördinatiepunt Research Data Management
(LCRDM) - Netherlands etc. to take the initiative of developing the national level
interoperable RDR system in India. Therefore, in this research study, researchers have proposed
developing an interoperable RDR system in India. It also identified the pillars of RDM
interoperability and RDM stakeholders in India. It proposed the RDR system in India, which
comprises institutional, disciplined or ministries and higher education departments, and
national level central RDR.
