Groups in Review

Small uncrewed aircraft (sUAS, also known as drones, remotely piloted aircraft or uncrewed aerial vehicles) and Autonomous platforms have become important tools for collecting data from the environment. They offer the potential to acquire data at higher temporal and spatial resolutions and in environments that are too hazardous to work in. Today, with the development…

An RDA Interest Group dedicated to the salmon research and monitoring community which will aim to accelerate the uptake of interoperable methods and data from research, management, and monitoring, so as to empower the community to further develop the mechanistic understanding of what drives salmon declines, and importantly develop methods to counter the declines. We…

The problem addressed Agricultural data span from field and farm data to scientific and research data to agricultural market data etc. These data are key in fundamental public-good level contexts: food production; transparency of agri-food value chains (traceability, certification, food safety); compliance evidence (for credit, insurance, subsidies, certification); risk management (early warnings), market and trade;…

This is a test group setup

Follow -up for BoF Data Security and Trust (WGDST)

This working group is involved in creating well-defined terms that describe storage services, especially in the areas of Quality of Service and Data Life-cycle. These terms should describe what the users (the scientists) can expect from the storage service, allowing them to compare different storage options and choose where to store their data with some…

Objectives The objective of this group is to provide a welcoming space for archivists and records management professionals within RDA to share knowledge and explore issues related to research data that arise in their professional activities.  We explore the areas where the principles and practices in the information disciplines of archives, records management, and research…

Public health research is a multidisciplinary and multifaceted approach toward improving the health of the population. In recent years, there has been a significant investment in studying and collecting public health data; however, given the complexity of public health, it is not a trivial task to find related datasets to a given public health research…

The proposed setting–Development Science Framework (DSF), views each SDG as a source of highly correlated Big Data attributes and seeks to explore their interactions in a predictive, spatio-temporal context. For example, the relationships among SDGs 13, 14 & 15 on human livelihood, reflected by SDGs 1 through 7, are particularly intriguing and modelling their dynamics…

N.B. As of 17 May 2022 this WG will not be moving forward with endorsement of the Case Statement and has withdrawn.

Building on the work of the Data Rescue IG, the Data Conservation IG will both expand scope to all types of data (both digital and analog), and focus on decision-making topics including: How are data sets prioritized for rescue or conservation? How are risk factors defined, assessed, and/or categorized? How is funding prioritized and/or secured?…
