1. Overview of WGs, IGs and BoFs
Francoise Genova, TAB, CNRS/CDS

2. RDA Groups RDA is a bottom-up organisation
Topics are proposed by the community
Work organised into Groups with a Charter and international membership
Interest Groups (IG)
Working Groups (WG)
Specific to Plenaries, to initiate discussion which can lead to propose a Group
Bird of the Feather (BoF)

3. Working Groups
18 months to produce outcomes = deliverables which should « facilitate tangible progress for a significant cohort within the international data community »
Among possible topics:
New data standards or harmonisation 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
etc.

4. A huge diversity
RDA builds Technological and sociological bridges

7. Diversity is not chaos
Landscape evolution followed by the Technical Advisory Board
Bottom-up clustering of groups, e.g.
Data Fabric IG
Publishing Cluster
Regular Chair and TAB/Chair meetings
Many Joint Sessions on topics of common interest

8. Data Creation and Re-Use Cycle in the Labs
management, preserving,
analyzing, annotating, etc.
new data
from old
complex, nonlinear
process
widely distributed landscape

9. Data Fabric Interest Group
Data Fabric IG looks for common components and services to make this work as efficient and reproducible as possible
Other WG/IGs looking at data publication workflows and citation

From the web site
Each session comes with a detailed description
Context, links, objectives, agenda
Information on the Groups e.g. from the full list

16. Personal message
Talk and listen to people
Many things to gather from the Group meetings and from informal discussion
Find your own path – In some cases attendents start with a plan and find that other things are finally more relevant to their needs
