Data Versioning IGBrief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group
The objective of this IG is to provide a forum where representatives from across the spectrum of stakeholders and roles pertaining to data discovery can work together to identify, study and make recommendations concerning issues related to improving data discovery. The goal is to produce concrete deliverables that will be recognised and valued by the research and data communities.
This group was officially endorsed at RDA P9. The group has worked on the following task forces, namely:User studies in data discovery (ongoing)
Data/Metadata granularity (ongoing, a BoF has been submitted)
Using schema.org for research dataset discovery (This task force has spun off to the Research Metadata Schemas Working Group, which was endorsed in Sept. 2019).
Task forces from the group:
Relevancy ranking (completed)
Use cases, prototyping tools and test collections (completed)
Best practice for making data findable (completed)
Metadata enrichment (closed)
Data granularity (became a WG, in progress)
Publish structured metadata (became the Research Data Schemas WG, completed)
User study of data discovery context and search behaviour (in progress)
