IG Established

Big Data Interest Group seeks to address community needs on all things having to do with Big Data. Specifically, it aims to produce a set of recommendation documents to advise diverse research communities with respect to: * How to select an appropriate Big Data solution for a particular science application with optimal value? and * What are the best practices in dealing with various data and computing issues associated with such a solution?

Status: Recognised & Endorsed Joint RDA/WDS Interest Group This Interest Group will build on previous work in the area of certification and deliver a global overview and a set of recommendations and requirements that allow the effective implementation of certification of digital repositories on a national, European and even global level.

Status: Recognised & Endorsed The objective of this working group is to promote the development of a common global framework for the management of marine data to address the impact of natural and man-made phenomena. Multi-disciplinary collaboration and large volumes of good quality interoperable data which can be easily located and accessed is required for this to support the development of this ecosystem based approach to marine research.

Status: Recognised & Endorsed This Interest Group will focus on Structural Biology which is concerned with the determination of the three-dimensional (3D) structures of individual biomacromolecules (proteins and nucleic acids), and with those of complexes and higher order structures formed by association of these individual components.
