    Brief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group
    The former RDA Data Versioning Working Group (2018-2021) worked on collating and identifying methods that had already been adopted or became ad hoc practices for data versioning. Based on this analysis, the group formulated a set of principles to describe data versioning use cases and practices. At a related BoF at the RDA VP15 in 2020, a community review and discussions showed that the application of the data versioning principles reach further than data management and had implications for attribution, authority, and ethics of data publication and sharing. 
     
    The new Data Versioning IG was approved in July 2021 and is a combination of taking the principles developed by the former Versioning WG, combined with the issues raised by the VP15  BoF. The proposed activities of the newly formed IG are:

    Forum for group members to discuss issues related to data versioning

    Collecting new use cases and applying the principles to a selection of use cases

    Developing a set of actionable recommendations by applying the published data versioning principles;

    Promoting the adoption of data versioning principles; and 

    Determining how they can be applied to address the increasing number of questions of attribution, authority, and ethics arising from data publication and sharing.

    The former RDA Data Versioning Working Group has delivered this RDA supporting output: Versioning data is about more than revisions: A Conceptual framework and proposed principles in 2021, and  a concise version of the output was published to the Data Science Journal. Feedbacks from presentations and communications of the data versioning principles indicate that the research data community desires to have actionable recommendations for different stakeholders on implementing the principles, and constructive feedback from a very engagement session at P20 raised the need to revisit the data versioning principles. 
    The objectives of the session include:

    To revisit the data versioning principles

    To discuss and collect more use cases focussing on where the data versioning would help data citation and attribution

    To develop a concrete plan for actionable recommendations

    Please indicate at least (3) three breakout slots that would suit your meeting.
    Breakout 1, Breakout 2, Breakout 4
