Please join the teleconference call on this Thursday 9th (8pm UTC), discussing research schema WG case statement

By Mingfang Wu

Dear All,

This is a belated and short notes that the BoF session "Using Schema.org
and Enriched Metadata to Enable/Boost FAIRness on Research Resources" at
the RDA P13 was well attended and received (slides
);
we also had good discussion. Taking the discussion into account, a few of
us (Adam Shepherd, Leyla Garcia, Nick Juty, SiriJodha Khalsa and myself)
have been drafting this case statement

for proposing a RDA Research Schema Working Group.

By Reyna Jenkyns

Hi all. I also apologize for missing the call. It was not in my agenda, but I've now added in future telecons for the first Thursday of the month. I was actually at the IOOS DMAC meetings this week, and data granularity and aggregation into collections were a re-occurring discussion topic there.

I plan to attend the ESIP meeting, so look forward to that session topic Anna.

Re: Reminder for the data/metadata granularity TF call (RDA Data Discovery Paradigms IG)

By Anna Milan

Hi All, Apologies for missing the meeting this afternoon. My NCEI
colleague, Heather Brown, and I submitted an abstract for a workshop
session at the ESIP Summer Conference. The focus will be on defining the
different 'facets' of a collection based on different use cases. I hope
that folks on this group can be involved with this session if it's
accepted.
Cheers,
Anna

Re: Update on data/metadata granularity TF (RDA Data Discovery Paradigms IG)

By Reyna Jenkyns

Hi Chris,

I think we are still wrestling a little with the definitions so that we can have a common interpretation, although we made a little headway. It's true that the word is borrowed from the physical world, so that's interesting to think about more. I come from a mathematical background too, so I do appreciate the abstractions although we still need to anchor ourselves somehow. There is always a danger in extending the meaning of a term though.

Data/Metadata Granularity Task Force

By Fotis Psomopoulos

Hi all,

last week we had a very interesting discussion in the Data/Metadata
Granularity Task Force call. The agenda focused mainly on discussing the
dimension of data/metadata granularity, as stated here

One of the main outcomes of the call was a detailed discussion on the
terminology, including the definitions of terms such as granularity,
collection, dataset, data aggregation etc. This allowed us to better
understand the different perspectives on granularity, from different
domains.
