Writing a data management plan: activity - activity: data loss

Take a couple of minutes to read the scenario given below and try to guess how the story ends. Then, click the question box to compare notes with the provided answer.

One of the Schools at the University had worked for over a decade in collaboration with foreign partners in creating some strategic maps. Throughout the research all the data including the maps were stored on CDs that were kept on the shelves in a secure room. Years later another piece of research was to be based on the results of this research and the researchers asked for access to the data stored on the CDs.

Do you think the researchers managed to gain access to the data?
