  3. Research data can be anything – be clear on what research data means in your policy! • models and visualisations • Workflows (Taverna, MyExperiment) • databases • raw data (captured from instruments) • cleaned data (anonymised) • blogs, tweets • images • audio • Whatever researchers are producing!
