The Business of RDA Open and effective data sharing is necessary to advance research, innovation, and economic growth. The WorkofRDA is done by the community building the social and technical connections or bridges that come together to form a global data sharing infrastructure. The Business of RDA is to support that community in building and using the bridges that enable open sharing of data. Specifically: Establishment and provision of a forum (both physical and virtual) Support for the community to use this forum Support the community in the development of data sharing infrastructure Encouraging adoption of data sharing infrastructure Support for agreements and standardisation Support for the community in the development of methodologies and sharing of good practice Convergence of activities running parallel in the field HTTPS://RD-ALLIANCE.ORG/ - HTTPS://TWITTER.COM/RESDATALL

Funding Strategy Agencies and Foundations are often well equipped to fund specific projects. Different funders have different interests that are being addressed by RDA Some funders have a broad interest in all the work of RDA (e.g. NSF, EC) Some funders are interested in specific groups or topics (NIST, Sloan) Some are interested in the community itself (JISC) Some are trying to solve targeted problems (SKA) Provide guidelines/templates that show how projects and interests map to necessary supporting business services. Engage the community to help them get funding support for their projects which in turn help support core services Work to get more direct (vs. in-kind) and central support through the Foundation or possibly regional offices HTTPS://RD-ALLIANCE.ORG/ - HTTPS://TWITTER.COM/RESDATALL

RDA Recommendations & Outputs THE RDA OUTCOMES LEGEND Recommendations: are as currently defined and should be presented as the flagship outputs of RDA. We should specifically use the word RECOMMENDATION. They are RDA s equivalent of the specifications or standards that other organisations create and endorse. The process for creating and endorsing these is already defined. Supporting Outputs: are the outputs of RDA WGs and IGs that are fruit of RDA work, but are not necessarily adoptable bridges. Upon request , these sort of outputs go through a community comment period and if no major objections or gaps are identified they get the RDA Brand. Other Outputs: include workshop reports, published articles, survey results, etc. Anything a WG or IG wants to register and report. Upon request, these are published and discoverable on the RDA website but have no level of endorsement.

RDA Recommendations & Outputs Data Foundation & Terminology: a model for data in the registered domain. PID Information Types: a common protocol for providers and users of persistent ID services worldwide. Data Type Registries: allowing humans and machines to act on unknown, but registered, data types. Practical Policy: defining best practices of how to deal with data automatically and in a documented way with computer actionable policy. WWW.RD-ALLIANCE.ORG @RESDATALL www.rd www.rd- -alliance.org/recommendaions alliance.org/recommendaions- -outputs outputs
RDA Recommendations & Outputs Metadata standards directory: Community curated standards catalogue for metadata interoperability Data Citation: defining mechanisms to reliably cite dynamic data Data Description Registry Interoperability solutions enabling cross platform discovery based on existing open protocols and standards Wheat Data Interoperability impacting the discoverability, reusability and interoperability of wheat data by building a common framework for describing, representing linking and publishing wheat data WWW.RD-ALLIANCE.ORG @RESDATALL www.rd www.rd- -alliance.org/recommendaions alliance.org/recommendaions- -outputs outputs
RDA Recommendations & Outputs Repository Audit and Certification DSA WDS: A convergent DSA-WDS certification standard to help eliminate duplication of effort, increase certification procedure coherence and compatibility thus benefitting researchers, data managers, librarians and scientific communities. RDA/WDS Publishing Data Bibliometrics: improved research data metrics and corresponding services, with the final goal of increasing the overall availability and quality of citations and research data itself. RDA/WDS Publishing Data Services: A universal interlinking service between data and the scientific literature. RDA/WDS Publishing Data Workflows: enhance the possibilities for greater discoverability and a more efficient and reliable reuse of research data benefitting other stakeholders like publishers, libraries and data centres.
