Versioning Data Is About More than Revisions: A Conceptual Framework and Proposed Principles

Date: 
27 May 2021 - 23:00 UTC

Recording Available Here

 

 

This 1-hour webinar will address the issue of a lack of a consistent framework and agreed definitions of best practices across data communities in guiding the management of data versioning,  including the citation and identification of different versions of a data set. The talk will introduce six foundational principles for versioning of datasets: Revision, Release, Granularity, Manifestation, Provenance and Citation which were derived from the collection and analysis of 39 use cases and current practices of data versioning across 33 organisations, and used the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) as a conceptual framework. The six principles provide a high-level framework for researchers in guiding a consistent practice of data versioning and can also serve as guidance for data centres or data providers when setting up their own data revision and version protocols and procedures, as well as systematic identification of their data products.

Connecting Data, Institutions and People: FAIR Digital Objects, RDA outputs and the design of the DiSSCo Research Infrastructure

Date: 
18 Mar 2021 - 18:00 to 19:00 UTC
Organiser: 

RDA-US - 2021 Webinar Series Highlighting RDA Outputs

Presenters: 

Sharif Islam, Ph.D., Data Architect, DiSSCo//Naturalis Biodiversity Center, The Netherlands

Dr. Islam is a Data Architect for DiSSCo (Distributed System for Scientific Collections) -- a new pan-European research infrastructure project to work with European museums and natural science collections to create a data-driven research infrastructure to mobilise, unify and deliver bio - and geo-diversity information. His background is in designing, implementing, and managing various large-scale and distributed mission-critical systems, services, and applications.

This webinar will address how the Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) --- a new European Research Infrastructure currently in the preparation phase -- is working towards transforming a fragmented landscape of the natural science collections into an integrated data infrastructure. The talk will provide an overview of the architectural design of DiSSCo, focusing on the adoption of FAIR Digital Object and the incorporation of multiple RDA Group outputs.  It will highlight the benefits of this approach to the goal of connecting data, institutions, and people. This endeavour not only includes the data element, but institutions of varying sizes and capacities, and the people curating, maintaining, and using the collections and the data.
