Abstract:
The Research Data Alliance (RDA) builds the social and technical bridges that enable open sharing of data.â Now in its third year, the Research Data Alliance has grown to over 3000 members from more than 100 countries worldwide. The RDA envisions open sharing of data across borders, technologies, and disciplines. With IU officially joining as a member organization in July of 2015, it is a good time to review the activity from the RDA with the researchers and IT professionals at IU that might benefit from the results and outputs.
The presentation discusses the RDA organization structure, IU' s role as a member organization, and the current activities and outputs from the RDA working groups. This allows the technical and professional staff at IU to offer feedback on what important Big Data issues they face and how these issues might lead to discussion and action within RDA.
