title: Developing a Community Capability Model Framework for data-intensive research
creators: Liz Lyon Alexander Ball Monica Duke Michael Day
abstract: 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.
