Update on the Research Data AllianceSeptember 2015
Updated: 25th September 2015

RDA community focuses on building social, organizational and technical infrastructure to
reduce barriers to data sharing and exchange
accelerate the development of coordinated global data infrastructure
CREATE ADOPT USE
RDA Working Group Infrastructure Deliverables are:
Focused pieces of adopted code, policy, infrastructure, standards, or best practices that enable data to be shared and exchanged
“Harvestable” efforts for which 12-18 months of work can eliminate a roadblock for a substantial community
Efforts that have substantive applicability to “chunks” of the data community, but may not apply to everyone
Efforts for which working scientists and researchers can start today while more long-term or far-reaching solutions are appropriately discussed in other venues
Research Data Alliance created to Accelerate Development of Research Data Sharing Infrastructure Worldwide
