Hi Yolanda,
Thanks. No problem, I just wanted to make sure this is the kind of event
we’d like to promote.
Cheers,

Dear all,
This event is over now, but I was wondering why it was not promoted? (Or
did I just miss it?)
I am still trying to work out what kinds of contributions you would like
from AU and the region, and thought this ticked all the boxes. If it did
not, can you please let me know what you are looking for?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Stefanie

Dear all,
I have added both items to the newsletter (though I haven’t added the end
date for the community review of the new RDA/CODATA group – 25 Dec – should
we add this?); it would be good if someone could review these, though.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Stefanie

Hi Yolanda,
Thanks for putting this together! A few comments / suggestions from me:
– COVID-19 WG (Bridget may want to weigh in here):
– “This Working Group also includes 5 sub-groups focusing on the
areas of Clinical, Community Participation, Epidemiology, Omics,
and Social
Sciences” – There are 7 sub-groups now, so this should probably
be updated
to include the Legal- Ethical and Software sub-groups?
– I would prefer to have the schedule for the draft releases spelled
out in more detail (weekly releases until a final draft release
on 22 May,
then a review period of 2 weeks, until 6 June).
– The link leads to the announcement of the first draft release,
would it be better to just refer to the outputs page, which is
where people
can comment, directly?
– Virtual Plenary 15 Recap
– (I have sent you a few suggestions for the actual recap text)
– Plenary Updates
– I would put all Plenary updates here, or, if that is not possible,
I’d put Plenary Updates straight after the P16 announcement. I would also
put the Remote Meeting Guide straight after the VP15 Re-cap (or possibly
even in there, in a separate paragraph)
– Events: May 6, 2020
Research data alliance (RDA) UK – should be Research Data Alliance 😉
– Group Updates
– I’m not sure why the Council Elections item is under “Group
updates”? I would move that to a separate item and put the two newly
endorsed groups here instead:
– Global Open Science Commons Interest Group
– Engaging Researchers with Data Interest Group
– Our Members
– “Alternately” should be “Alternatively”?
– Newly Endorsed Recommendations:
– REMOVE the two groups listed here, they are not Recommendations,
but newly endorsed IGs (see above).
– I don’t think we have had any Recommendations endorsed since the
last newsletter? (Agrisemantics is with Council until 6 May). We have
received the final versions of 2 Supporting Outputs (not Recommendations)
from the Data Versioning WG, but I am not sure if they were already
included in the last newsletter?
Cheers,
Stefanie

Hi all,
Is this something we should flag in Priyanka’s talk (which takes place in 3
hours, though)?
If not (it’s probably too late to hear from you), we could consider sending
an email with the announcement to those who registered for the Webinar
afterwards, perhaps?
Cheers,
Stefanie

Hi Sara,
I only have what I have been sending to people in response, copying the
enquiries list – I haven’t heard anything further.

Hi Sara,
Thanks for preparing the revised slider image, it looks really good.
However, the date on the bottom of the stamp image on the slider is missing
the “April” (it just says “from 18 March to 10”). Could this be fixed,
please?
Thanks!
Cheers,

Hi Sara,
I had a quick look at the texts and made some comments / suggestions.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Sara,
Thanks for the flyer, it looks very good. I have to read it in more detail,
but I agree with Yolanda’s comments. Also, in the “RDA community” section,
there is no mention of South or Central America – I suggest “The Americas”
instead of just “North America”, with numbers for all countries in the
Americas, or you could add another entry for South and Central America with
the relevant numbers.
I also had a few minor suggestions re punctuation and a few changes in
wording. Would you be able to send me an editable version?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Stefanie

Hi Sara,
Thanks for this. A few comments from me:
Infographic:
– The heading states “also searchable by focus,…” – but I think the
focus (now called topic on the catalogue page) is exactly what the
infographic represents? In other words, Data Management, Data Collection,
can be selected on the Catalogue page, and there is no other criterion
called “focus” on the catalogue page. Or am I missing something? (The
easiest thing might be to remove “also” and replace “focus” with “topic”,
as on the catalogue page).
– “Scientific domain” is called “primary domain” on the catalogue page.
I would suggest removing “scientific” from the infographic.
– I don’t understand the “View Outputs and Recommendations” text under
each of the 6 areas – there are no clickable links in the infographic, so
what is the purpose? Again, am I missing something? (I would suggest adding
clickable links).
– The Data Management text focuses solely on machine-readable DMPs, but
that is only a small subset of the outputs we have with that focus?
– (I was a bit surprised that “Data Description” did not mention
metadata, but that may just be me).
– Identity…: “get clear on” sounds a bit weird to me. “Understand”,
perhaps?
– Disseminate…: Again, I was a bit surprised that there is no mention
of the challenges in finding data, i.e. the “data consumer” perspective?
– Policy…: I would remove the first “all” (“Currently, all sites…”,
as this could invite people to find counter-examples. Also, what is meant
by “sites”?
Catalogue page:
– “Domain agnostic” is there twice (three times if counting the heading
above the final one). Can it be removed from the disciplines, and the
heading “Domain agnostic” also removed? (The heading with the same entry
underneath looks a bit odd).
– On my mobile, the arrow pointing to the search points to the right
edge of the screen, and the search itself is at the bottom of the page,
after the 38 outputs, which is not great. Can this be reversed so that the
search is at the top?
– The Linguistics Output (Tromso…) shows up in the catalogue, but it
should not, as it is still in community review and technically not a
Supporting Output yet. What status should it have so it is not displayed?
(Currently, it’s “None”, which I thought was the correct thing to do at
this point?)
I hope this helps?
Cheers,
Stefanie

Hi all,
We have another group in community review – see below. Could this be added
to the newsletter?
Engaging Researchers with Data Interest Group – Group Charter

Luigi, can you please also add this to the slider? Due to the Christmas
break, I have set the end date for the community review to 9 Jan 2020, so,
longer than usual.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Stefanie
