The Research Data Management Service Group (RDMSG) is co-sponsored by Cornell University Library and the Office of the Vice Provost for Research. The RDMSG helps researchers plan how to organize and document their data, find a place to keep it and, perhaps most important, deal with the data management requirements of funding agencies.

Awards and honors
Cornell grads, prof win technical Oscars
Three Cornellians have been honored with Academy Awards for technical achievement.
Cornell alumnus Theodore Kim '01 CS and computer science professor Doug James won an Academy Award for their role in creating Wavelet Turbulence software, which allows Hollywood artists to generate realistic smoke and explosions. The technology, which was developed at Cornell, has been used in a number of films, including "Avatar," "Monsters vs. Aliens" and "Alice inWonderland." Kim was a postdoctoral researcher in 2008-09.
Alumnus Jeremy Selan '00 EE, M.S. '03 AA&P, won an Academy Award for helping create the Katana computer graphics scene management and lighting software at Sony Pictures Imageworks. The technology lets artists edit complicated large-scale scenes on desktop computers and was used in "Spider-Man 3."
The awards will be given at the annual Scientific and Technical Awards Presentation on Feb. 9.
