The service provision and further development of Coscine takes place at the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University. It is a strategic open source process in which all users can participate.
The long-term goal of Coscine.nrw and Datastorage.nrw is to establish common governance structures. A first step in this direction is the establishment of a joint Advisory Board.
Tasks of the Advisory Board
- Review of reporting including the relevant key performance indicators (KPIs)
- Involvement in risk management for the early identification of potential risks and development opportunities
- Consultation on the prioritization of upcoming further developments
