Title: RDA COVID-19 – Webinar
Colleagues, In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the European
Commission asked the Research Data Alliance to form a rapid response
Working Group to facilitate global data sharing in this space. A group
was convened in late March and membership has grown to just shy of 400 in a
matter of days. Clearly there is a strong interest in supporting research
in this space. To date, the co-chairs have drafted a case
statement outlining the key aims and remit of the group, decided on 5
sub-groups covering the main research areas, solicited disciplinary experts
from each research area to act as Moderators to chair the drafting of
guidelines, and created a template structure to ensure coherence in
guidelines produced across the five sub-groups. The RDA Secretariat is
actively supporting the group to ease administration.
A spreadsheet was constructed to allow early members to highlight
their areas of expertise and desired roles. This has been used to allocate
members across the sub-groups. We realized after we created the
sign-up sheet, that we did not protect the column with the Areas pick list.
As a result, there were some people we assigned to groups, and some we did
not. Those people who have been assigned to a group, should have received
an e-mail message from that group.Everyone who identified with one of the 5
Areas has been added to an associated sub-group in the RDA site (list of
all groups).People who selected Data Modeling have been added to one of the
5 Areas, with the goal of spreading that expertise around equally.There
were a number of other people who input other topics, and we did not assign
you to a group. If you did not get an e-mail from one of the 5 sub-groups,
or do not see yourself on a sub-group landing page, then please feel free
to Join the sub-group of your choice. We are hosting a 1-hour Webinar
on Tuesday April 7th, 11:00 AM Universal Time (UTC). This webinar
