    Meeting objectives
    The ongoing pandemic has clearly demonstrated the need for harmonised social and technical infrastructure and a common understanding of a global infectious disease data management and analytics platform. Such a platform would help decision-makers identify the information the minimum near-real-time information needed during an infectious disease emergency to implement a rapid and coordinated response that complies with the international health and medical regulations. We are proposing a Community of Practice (CoP) with the following set of focus areas for discussion and action.

    a list of current data holdings and resources held and utilised by infectious diseases data researchers, practitioners, collaborators, networks and decision-makers.

    Identify existing data definitions, standards and dictionaries from the resources that are currently informing the pandemic response

    Identify data elements required to inform response and identify gaps in the data collection process. 

    Map the data elements that inform response to a decision making tree. This decision should contain provenance, licensing and contextual metadata to identify who the data owners are, where the data is being generated, with whom the data will be shared, how the data will help inform response, etc. 

    Develop a blueprint for a global infectious diseases data management and analytics platform 

    Please indicate the breakout slot (s) that would suit your meeting
