 Why an RDA?
 What is it all about?
 Why is it of interest to you?
 Who will you collaborate with?
 What will you do?
 How to get involved?
 … Actions for you 
RDA in a nutshell
3
“We are taking our work beyond Europe's borders, to
reach global scale. To make the scientific resources of
the world work together, interoperating and open to
discovery. For example we are working with partners
like the US and Australia in the Research Data Alliance
to make scientific progress broader, deeper and more
workable”.
Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission
responsible for the Digital Agenda - Open Access to science and data
= cash and economic bonanza, 19 November 2013
Why a Research Data Alliance?
… So much to gain from collaboration …
4
Global initiative with the support & funding of European
Commission, Australian National Data Service and US
National Science Foundation
Who founded and supports RDA?
5What is RDA about?
5
Researchers and innovators openly share data
across technologies, disciplines, and countries to
address the grand challenges of society.
… building the social and technical bridges that enable global
open sharing of data.
Researchers, scientists, data practitioners from around the
world are invited to work together to achieve the vision
6
RDA – How does it work?
Experts and Data practitioners come together in
RDA Working and Interest Groups
to overcome concrete hurdles
Working together at 6 monthly plenary
meetings & on the collaborative web platform
7
The RDA Engine – Working & Interest Groups
 9 Working groups including Community Capability
Model, Data Citation, Data Foundation and
Terminology, Data Type Registries...
https://rd-alliance.org/workinggroup-list.html
 24 Interest groups including Agricultural Data
Interoperability, Big Data Analytics...

RDA Working Groups
 Form the Foundation for RDA Community Impact!
 … envisioned as accelerants to data sharing practice and
infrastructure in the short-term with the overarching goal of
advancing global data-driven discovery and innovation
 RDA Working Group profile:
 Short-term: 12-18 months
 Focused efforts with specific actions
adopted by specific communities
 International participation
 Open, voluntary, consensus-driven
 Complementary to effective efforts
elsewhere
Outcomes / deliverables:
• New data standards or
harmonization of existing
standards.
• Greater data sharing, exchange,
interoperability, usability and re-
usability.
• Greater discoverability of research
data sets.
• Better management, stewardship,
and preservation of research data.
10
PID information types WG
• Persistent identifiers (PID) are the core of proper data
management and access
•…. first solution for standardized PID types
•Later, … will design and implement an API for interaction with
typed information
•Automated data management across disciplines and
repositories can highly benefit from standardized types
Examples from WGs
11
Data Type Registry WG
•There are so many data types in use, and new ones are
continuously defined in science
•The result is that often researchers see interesting data, but don’t know
how to open, process or visualize the data
•… implementing a type registry for data, which explains how to open,
visualize and process the data
•In 2014 a worldwide setup for a type registry is expected…
Examples from WGs
12
• An Interest Group (IGs) can be established prior to a
Working Group for community discussion of issues and
areas that facilitate data-driven research.
• IGs are longer-term groups defining common issues and
interests.
RDA Interest Groups
