RDA Group Directory

The Research Data Alliance accomplishes its mission primarily through Working Groups, Interest Groups and Communities of Practice. In order to allow new members to understand what technical and social infrastructure solutions RDA groups are developing, and which scientific disciplines may benefit RDA Group outcomes, this filter has been created to allow you identify which RDA group(s) might be more useful for your research.

Interest Group
FAIR for Machine Learning (FAIR4ML) IG
Stage: IG Established
Chair(s): Fotis Psomopoulos, Daniel S. Katz, Daniel Garijo, Beatriz Serrano-Solano, Leyla Jael Castro, Anne Fouilloux, Curtis Sharma, Gnana Bharathy, Line Pouchard
The idea of FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) in the context of scientific data management and stewardship was developed in 2014 and turned into specific principles in 2016[1]. Along the way, the idea was generalized in concept to apply to both data and other digital scholarly objects, but it has become clear in practice…
Regional Group
RDA in Canada
Chair(s): Mark Leggott, Fares Dhane
Prior to merging with the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (the Alliance), Research Data Canada worked with RDA U.S. and other regional partners to create RDA Region of the Americas. This relationship was informal until the Alliance formalized the partnership with RDA in 2022. Through this partnership, the Alliance has agreed to run activities to…
Interest Group
Working with PIDs in Tools IG
Stage: IG Established
Chair(s): Xiaoli Chen, Rory Macneil, Jens Klump, Christopher Erdmann
Lack of interoperability between tools/e-infrastructures presents a significant barrier to streamlining processes throughout the research lifecycle. These gaps prevent the comprehensive collection and incorporation of research data and metadata into the research record captured during the active research phase. Furthermore, it limits the scope for passing this data and metadata on to data repositories, thus…
Working Group
Scientific Knowledge Graphs – Interoperability Framework (SKG-IF) WG
Stage: Producing Deliverables
Chair(s): Andrea Mannocci, Sahar Vahdati, Silvio Peroni, Jason Portenoy
The Scientific Knowledge Graph - Interoperability Framework (SKG-IF) Working Group (WG) will target the definition of a framework to enable a seamless exchange of information among diverse initiatives regarding Scientific Knowledge Graphs, intended as knowledge bases of scholarly knowledge content (e.g. repositories, databases, catalogues, knowledge graphs, LOD collections). The WG stems from and incorporates the…
Working Group
RDA/WDS TRUST Principles Outreach and Adoption Working Group
Stage: Getting Started
Chair(s): Dawei Lin, Micky Lindlar, Meredith Goins
Purpose: This working group aims to clarify the complementary relationship between TRUST Principles (TRUST) for digital repositories, certification processes, and metrics of other principal frameworks (e.g., FAIR, CARE, Desirable characteristics, Data Repository Attributes). TRUST is not a criterion for certification. Instead, it is the principles of how repositories can demonstrate their trustworthiness to users. Get…

RDA / CODATA Data Systems, Tools, and Services for Crisis Situations WG
Stage: Getting Started
Chair(s): Perihan Elif Ekmekci, Burcak Basbug Erkan, Stefanie Kethers, Gnana Bharathy, Virginia Murray
Interest Group
Evaluation of Research IG
Stage: IG Established
Chair(s): Francoise Genova, Devika Madalli, Amy Nurnberger, Emma Crott
The evolution of the evaluation of research from being mostly bibliographic index-based is now recognized to be indispensable to enable Open Science. In the same way that Open Science promotes the open sharing of FAIR data and other research outputs, evaluators must also value and consider these outputs as part of the wider research evaluation…
Working Group
RDA-OfR Mapping the landscape of digital research tools WG
Stage: Producing Deliverables
Chair(s): Hea Lim Rhee, Rory Macneil, Adam Vials Moore, Emmanuel Adamolekun
RDA-OfR Mapping the landscape of digital research tools WG NOTE: WG name changed from 'Mapping the digital research data infrastructure landscape WG' Scroll to the bottom of this page for all WG meeting documentation Overview The digital research data infrastructure landscape comprises a myriad of tools for managing and sharing research data during various stages…

RDA & ReSA: Policies in Research Organisations for Research Software (PRO4RS)
Stage: Getting Started
Chair(s): Michelle Barker, Claudia Bauzer Medeiros, Jeremy Cohen, Daniel S. Katz, Kim Martin, Dan Rudmann, Pedro Hernandez Serrano, Hugh Shanahan
The Policies in Research Organisations for Research Software (PRO4RS) Working Group is co-convened with the Research Software Alliance (ReSA) and aims to create a community of stakeholders involved in promoting and/or implementing policy that supports research software at the research institution level (e.g., universities, national laboratories). This will build on ReSA’s taskforce, Research institution policies…
