The issue of sustainability for learning resource collecting and service organisations is an important one for the RDM educational instruction communities. Many catalogues, registries and portals are created for the educational needs of specific research domains or for specific audiences such as data stewards or other data professionals. Significant effort is involved not only in identifying and curating learning resources that are appropriate for those subject domains and/or target audiences, but also in building the catalogues and registries themselves. These kinds of financial investments by funding organisations and human commitment are critical to the development, dissemination and reuse of learning resources, yet the life of the catalogues, registries and portals is often too short, especially given the investment of time and money. There is a problem of finding long term funding for sustainability, of course, but the focus group also noted that often times, those building and maintaining the catalogues, registries and portals do not consider or document other kinds of characteristics that will help users of the services understand and support them so that they can continue to offer and tailor services to their user communities. This problem is the one that the focus group decided to work on in hopes of providing some guidance to these kinds of organisations, and to their funders.
