" The Online Research Database Service (ORDS) will enable researchers at the University of Oxford (and their collaborators) to create databases, and then add, edit, search, and share the data they gather during their research. The ORDS will be accessed via a straightforward web interface, so researchers can work on their data from any computer with an Internet connection. It will also be easier to collaborate with other researchers, as multiple editors can work on a single database. Access controls will enable users to decide who gets permission to do what. Besides creating databases from scratch, researchers will be able to import existing databases in common formats (such as Access) into the system, enabling old data to take on a new lease of life. If you want to share your research data with your colleagues, or even the general public, you can open databases up with a flick of a switch - a generic search interface enables others to search the database.

"This document outlines a framework for addressing Māori ethical issues within the context of decision-making by ethics committee members. It draws on a foundation of tikanga Māori (Māori protocols and practices) and will be useful for researchers, ethics committee members and those who engage in consultation or advice about Māori ethical issues from a local, regional, national or international perspective."
