There's a web site at http://www.grdi2020.eu which aggregates a wealth of interesting reports, and other materials dealing with the development of research data management in Europe and beyond. Of particular interest will be the Strategy Report on Research Infrastructures and Roadmap, which is really a broader survey that covers much more than data management, and the Preliminary Roadmap Report Global Scientific Data Infrastructures: The Big Data Challenges, which is input to a workshop being held in October 2011. The site also has information about this workshop.
