Leading up to this session, Life Science Data Infrastructures IG members will have collectively surveyed the operators of between 10-20 infrastructures across different geographical regions that support digital asset management in the life sciences to ascertain which aspects of the research data lifecycle each support, and obtain a snapshot of how mature these resources are in when it comes to being enabling the underlying data assets stored or produced to be FAIR.
The survey and this session aims at getting a better understanding of different aspects of life science data infrastructures across the globe—such as the types of data and communities they support, their approaches to adopting the FAIR data principles across the research data lifecycle, and the challenges they are looking to solve.
This session will focus on:
- Presenting an overview of the various types of digital asset management challenges that life science data infrastructures are working to solve on behalf of their user communities
- Exploring how infrastructure solutions also support the FAIR principles with respect to various types of digital assets - e.g. data, tools, workflows
- Future synthesis of best practice recommendations that can help life science infrastructures better support FAIR digital assets and enhance their infrastructure’s FAIR capabilities across the life sciences landscape and around the research data lifecycle
Members of any RDA IGs and WGs who are focussed on FAIR principles, Data Lifecycles and Infrastructure Interoperability as well as anyone involved in life science data infrastructure world wide.
The Charter for the Life Science Data Infrastructures Interest Group was approved by the TAB in May 2022.
The group met for the first time at the 19th RDA Plenary in June 2022 to introduce the aims of the group.
The Life Science Data Infrastructures Interest Group was formed to serve as a bridge between life science data infrastructures in different regions of the world and relevant RDA Interest and Working Groups, including both specific subtopics of the life sciences, as well as generic topics that can/should be applied in the life sciences such as big data analysis, federated identity management, and data publishing. The IG aspires to have meaningful representation from diverse geographical regions including North and South America, Europe; Africa, Asia and Oceania; and will actively seek participation from under-represented groups and the global South. The IG also aims for fair gender representation and inclusivity in all its activities. See also https://www.rd-alliance.org/groups/life-science-data-infrastructures-ig
The FAIRsharing Registry: Connecting data policies, standards and databases RDA Working Group has delivered principles for linking information about databases, content standards and journal and funder policies in the life sciences. These principles are implemented in a curated registry (https://fairsharing.org/) enabling access and cross-search of the information, on which a variety of stakeholders can base their decisions.
