Outcomes of the DSA–WDS Certification Working Group
The WG will complete its term at the end of November 2015, and with this in mind, the Breakout Session will focus on what the WG has achieved over its term. The goal is to stimulate a discussion on the outputs, with attendees in the Session providing feedback on the deliverables:
- The Catalogue of Common Requirements for Basic Certification, which includes an introduction to certification, all guidance text, and a glossary.
- The Common Certification Procedures outlining the initial certification process agreed by the Data Seal of Approval and the ICSU World Data System to certify repositories using the Common Requirements.
- Preliminary results of a testbed for the Common Requirements.
Participants in the Session are expected to have read the above documents in order to contribute to the discussion.
The session will conclude with a conversation about next steps for this work and, in particular, what is required to develop a framework incorporating all levels of certification.
