Case Statements, Agreements & Charters

Mission To reduce the likelihood of misunderstanding of a research community’s storage requirements, or of a storage provider’s service. To facilitate dialogue between a research community and multiple storage providers, and between a storage provider and multiple research communities. To maximise the scientific output of a research community with a fix budget by allowing them…

RDA Interest Group Charter Name of Proposed Interest Group:  New Paradigms for Data Discovery Introduction: An emerging statement on research data is that it should be FAIR: “Findable, Accessible, Interpretable and Reusable”. To comply with the first of these criteria, being Findable, we need a data infrastructure that supports users in discovering research data regardless…

The initial idea of establishing this working group was presented during P6 in Paris in the Repository Platforms for Research Data IG session. Shortly after P6 a telephone conference was carried out with the conclusion to prepare a case statement and to finalize it during a BoF session at P7. The initial co-chairs are David…

Interpretation and use of scientific datasets by those that are not engaged in the creation or production of those datasets is pivotal for enabling science that is driven by data. RDA has made significant progress in addressing this issue through the initial Data Type Registries (DTR) WG, which has now finished, but much remains to…

In a field where the amount and the data sources increase exponentially, it becomes critical to find efficient solutions at a community level to address problems such as storage, indexing, metadata, sharing, or analysis. The global objectives of this Interest Group will be to explore and discuss the challenges for management, efficient analysis and dissemination…

This WG proposal emerged from the repository registry discussions within the Data Fabric IG. The bootstrapping co-chairs are Michael Witt, Johannes Reetz, Herman Stehouwer and Peter Wittenburg. At P8 we will suggest an election of the co-chairs and present an initial core group covering European, US and Asian experts also including an increased number of…

RDA Rice Data Interoperability Working Group Proposal 1.- Rationale Rice is a staple food for some 4 billion people worldwide, and it provides 27% of the calories in low- and middle-income countries. Just to keep up with population growth, an additional 104 million tons of (milled) rice beyond the expected 2015 harvest of 475 million…

“Semantic Interoperability is usually defined as the ability of services and systems to exchange data in a meaningful/useful way.” In practice, achieving semantic interoperability is a hard task, in part because the description of data (their meanings, methodologies of creation, relations with other data etc.) is difficult to separate from the contexts in which the…

  TEACHING_TDM[1]   Introduction   In the healthcare sector, 1.3 million new pieces of research related to biomedical science alone are published each year.[2] A typical database search returns about 80,000 hits, and only 4,000 of those are likely to be very relevant to a researcher’s work. Text and Data Mining (TDM) techniques can already…
