Context
Around the world large scale national and international efforts (US, EU, China, Japan, etc.) are in progress to implement data services for researchers in multiple domains. The tasks associated with data in the research process for a domain are driven by a number of different requirements, including the need to improve scientific productivity and reproducibility. For some of these the large-scale data projects act as aggregators within a domain and in an integrative role across domains, which is important to increasing the impact of domain specific projects. These large scale data projects will be additional drivers in changing data practices.
This suggests that a close interaction needs to be maintained amongst the groups: large-scale data projects, research projects and the RDA to create the integration across the different domains and scales. In some cases cross-fertilization has already taken place such as for EUDAT, some European research infrastructures, the NSF DataNet projects, and NDS; in many other cases such large-scale projects are still far removed from RDA activities. The task is to facilitate and increase the interactions to make it easier to follow all RDA activities and results.
At the RDA plenary in San Diego March 2015 the Large Scale Data Projects session at the Adoption Day will address two aspects:
- advance the goals of the Adoption Day by following up with the tool developers and the researchers in the larger context of large data facilities and projects,
- identify additional uptake and dissemination possibilities from the side of the data projects with invited speakers from large impact projects in around the world.
The outcomes will lead to a clearer understanding of the different requirements from the viewpoints of the tool developers, the researchers and the large data facilities. This might result in the creation of an interest group that would focus on these issues, exchanging information with other RDA groups and with researchers. We expect this session to be of high interest for all WG and IG co-chairs and experts to interact with the experts from these large scale data projects.
