Meeting title:

Data Discovery Paradigms IG: Reports from Task Forces and Way Ahead

A short introduction describing the activities and the 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 search 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 recognized and valued by the research community.

This IG has identified 4 topics that will be the focus of the group’s initial efforts: 

  • Best practices for making data findable
  • Relevancy ranking
  • Use cases, prototyping tools and test collections
  • Metadata enrichment

Task forces formed around the first 3 topics started after RDA P8, while the last task force, Metadata Enrichment, began work after RDA P9. All task forces have been actively exploring their topics and will report out at RDA P10.
