Abstract

In the early life of the international Research Data Alliance (RDA), mid-2014, a consortium of volunteers, initial consensus products that promote data sharing are beginning to emerge. The RDA community is grappling with adoption, specifically what is RDA’s role in advancing the adoption of the products emerging from its working groups? This whitepaper posits that RDA has an active role to play in promoting the adoption of its products (“RDA Recommendations”). This role includes reaching potential adopters in the early stages of the technology adoption process. This whitepaper provides a contextual framework for adoption, products, and adopters. It then examines current RDA activities (circa 2014) and highlights potential gaps.
