Short introduction describing the scope of the group and if any previous activities
The RDA/CODATA Legal Interoperability Interest Group continues to focus on improving the legal interoperability of research data and articulating why it is important for data interoperability and reuse. Currently, the IG is focused on documenting and analyzing case studies in such areas as geoscience, health/medical research, and the social sciences, addressing challenges and opportunities to improve data interoperability in different interdisciplinary and international contexts. The IG has developed and published core principles and guidelines of best practices through which legal interoperability can be achieved, and is monitoring current developments related to open data sharing and access. The IG continues to work with key stakeholder groups to get the core principles and guidelines of best practices adopted and to promote better understanding and greater use by the stakeholder groups in the research community of the agreed approaches to legal interoperability of research data, focused on highlighting and enabling better integration and reuse of such data.

Meeting objectives
The objective of the meeting is to report on progress related to key case studies and to exchange information on ongoing relevant activities and developments related to legal interoperability in Europe and other regions and in specific data communities. The meeting will also be an opportunity to plan activities for fall 2018 at the United Nations World Data Forum and at International Data Week.
