Components of the RDM Infrastructures established by higher education institutions are briefly considered. The component function, the software / platform underlying the component and component interoperability are described, any evaluations identified, and institutions employing the component, particularly in an RDMI context, are noted. The list of components is not exhaustive, the most relevant and popular are reviewed, and the components are loosely categorised by function so there may be considerable overlap.

Several of the JISC research data management infrastructure projects published the results of reviews, evaluations and comparisons they carried out to select the infrastructure components and RDM tools they were to trial. A number of projects published the results of user requirements surveys, conducted to choose from the components and tools available. These are indicated here, where the findings may be briefly described.
