Invitation:
RDA Working Group Collaboration Meeting Karlsruhe
June 11 – 12, 2015
 
 
Dear RDA Group Chairs,
 
We would like to invite you to the 3rd Working Group Collaboration Meeting. This is a continuation of a working meeting series that was started in Garching in February 2014 and in Gaithersburg in November 2014. 
The objective is to have focused discussion among participants:  something which has proved elusive at the packed RDA Plenary meetings, and to generate discussion on how coordination amongst WGs can achieve
more coherence and can improve overall RDA outputs. 
The foci of the June meeting will be on 

interaction between the Data Fabric and Data Publishing coordination groups and their related WGs and IGs
facilitate adoption questions from amongst IG attendees 
build connections between the technically oriented data provisioning and data consumer groups, and social/policy oriented data provisioning and data consumer groups

This format will allow for a detailed update from the next wave of working group outputs:  those of RDA/WDS Data Publishing coordination group.  Additionally, each participant will be invited to update on the current status of the represented group(s) in relation to the above topics.
 
Please notify the local organizers (danah.tonne@kit.edu, rainer.stotzka@kit.edu, saskia.baier@kit.edu, rainer.stotzka@kit.edu) before May 1:
a) if you plan to attend
b) the RDA group(s) you will represent
 
We will update the agenda at https://www.rd-alliance.org/groups/3nd-working-group-collaboration-meeti… accordingly and will add a list of participants.
 
Please find additional information below.
 
We are looking forward to meeting you in Karlsruhe
Rainer, Larry & Peter
