Group name WG Research Data Collections
Meeting title Research Data Collections: Adoptions and future plans
Please give a short introduction describing the activities and the scope of the group
There is an interest from several research communities to leverage aggregations of objects, with particular focus on building such aggregations through PIDs and possibly providing identifiers for aggregation objects. However, there is a lack of unified cross-community approach to building and managing such collections, and also no common model for understanding them. The Research Data Collections WG has worked in close collaboration with scientific communities to come to a pragmatic and usable solution for these issues.
In September 2017 (in connection with P10 in Montreal, Canada), the group released its Recommendations which provides a comprehensive model for actionable collections, as well as a technical interface specification to enable client-server interaction for research data collections.The aim has been to provide a framework on which both PID service providers and end users can develop new tools and additional services on collections, thereby benefiting both inter- and cross-community data sharing through increased unification between collection models and implementations.
There are already a number of first adoption and implementation efforts taking place across a broad range of communities and institutions, including earth science and the humanities. These activities not only test the overall applicability of the recommendations, but also provide perspectives on the use of data types in connection with collection structures, highlighting pathways for possible future work.
Other initiatives with the aim to develop tools and services that build on the WG’s recommendations are now starting. One of these is the development of a “Digital Object Browser” tool, which aims to help users to both build hierarchies (create collections) on globally referenced digital objects in a local environment and then to browse through local as well as global collections.

RDA Research Data Collections WG Recommendations: https://rd-alliance.org/group/research-data-collections-wg/outcomes/rda-… (doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15497/RDA00022)
The RDA Collections API Recommendation: http://rdacollectionswg.github.io/apidocs/#/
Please list the meeting objectives
– Follow-up on the Recommendations endorsement process
– Summarizing on-going use cases and adoption plans, and identifying new ones
– Presenting and discussing current efforts to develop associated services
Meeting agenda
1. Summary of the recommendations (10 mins)
2. Use case and implementation presentations (20 mins)
3. New initiatives, including tool development (40 mins)
4. Future plans and outlook (20 mins)
Audience: Please specify who is your target audience and how they should prepare for the meeting
The topic at hand is of interest to a variety of stakeholders in the areas of research data curation and usage. The group’s outputs can be of use to scientific infrastructure providers, client tool builders and scientific users. We particularly encourage feedback from practitioners on the contents of our recommendations.
