Wrap-up, next actions for the group
A BoF was conducted at P15 (see session notes). Since then, the Data Granularity Task Force, a TF of the Data Discovery Paradigms IG, has been meeting regularly on a monthly basis to refine the directions for a case statement, and to better understand the existing needs and landscape for data granularity practices.
This is going to be an informative discussion, so material is expected to be collected during the session. Working document of the task force to be shared: Draft Case Statement for WG
Recommend literature to consider may include:
- Draft Data Granularity Guidance (Draft produced by the Data Discovery Paradigms IG)
- Principles and best practices in data versioning for all data sets big and small (final report of the RDA Data Versioning WG)
- Compilation of Data Versioning Use cases from the RDA Data Versioning Working Group
- RDA Research Data Collections WG Recommendations
- Earth Observing System Common Metadata Repository User Guide
- A survey of current practices in data search services
