Hello RDA Colleagues,
There seems to be a proliferation of definitions across our domain, including this one from CASRAI as part of their research data glossary initiative. http://dictionary.casrai.org/Data
CASRAI just put out a call for reviews of their glossary and the one for data looks pretty good.
Does this look useful to you? Does it align with the RDA research data terminology work?
