2. Mapping Of the Landscape (MoL) Interest Group
Objectives:
Develop a web page with a catalogue of MOL activities related to identifying research data infrastructures;
Develop a synthesis of existing MoL activities for research data infrastructure activities within and beyond RDA;
Investigate mapping practices including methodologies, tools, workflows, etc. and identifying whether any key pieces are missing; and
Discuss opportunities for collaborations on existing MoL exercises.
This group was partially informed by the RDA Atlas of Knowledge and TAB LOG mapping exercises, though in contrast to this activity, the proposed MoL IG will focus on activities  eternally to RDA and at a higher organizational level.

3. Mapping Of the Landscape (MoL) IG session
Meeting Objectives:
Progress the MoL Interest Group further
Update on existing and potential new mapping projects
Review potential products that could be used as a ‘legend’ for the Map of the MoLs
Finalising the strategu that would underpin the case statement.

4. Activities to date
Bright idea at Denver for a BoF at Plenary 8
Before the session started we had compiled the magnificent 8
Continued at Plenary 9 in Barcelona
A Map of the Landscape Index table created
Several effective methodologies for displaying and visualising MoL activities  were demonstrated and could be used for a variety of MoLs.
Decided to capture the strategy and reasonbehind why the MoL was being undertaken.
Agreed to cut the scope back to just preparing a “map” of the MoL activities being undertaken.
But
There was consent that like any geographical map, a ‘Map’ of the MoLs needed a legend of some sort. What was noted was:
There was no agreed vocabulary or ontology to describe what each MoL is doing in a consistent way;
That there was a diversity of infrastructures that each was trying to map (technology, data/information, computational systems, etc)
No agreed ‘research discipline vocabulary

5. Tis an elephant problem – how do we break it down?
