Research Data Alliance: Global Data Meeting Washington
The slides that were presented in the Global Data Meeting (1-3 October, 2012) are now available.
Among them, three review the initiatives and the projects in the United States, in Europe and in Australia:
The Washington meeting was:
– a forum to intensively discuss ways to achieve interoperability in the rather complex and fragmented data domain and to give directions to concrete follow-up steps such as building working groups focusing on specific topics and near-term deliverables;
– a forum for data practitioners to exchange detailed information about ways to develop concrete interoperability solutions and best practices that will give rise to generic building blocks of a data/information infrastructure and data bridges to achieve early steps in interoperability;
– a forum to intensively discuss the RDA goals, the emerging RDA documents and their implications for the data practitioners working on concrete interoperability solutions.
