There is a very nice new post by Joss Winn of the Orbital project at
Lincoln University on using CKAN for research data management:

To steal Joss's thunder slightly, he concludes "It seems odd to me
that [CKAN] has such a low profile in academia and I do think that the
time has come to embrace CKAN and acknowledge the efforts of OKFN more
widely."

Orbital recently decided to adopt CKAN as the basis for their RDM
platform. More background at
