The Data Repository Attributes Working Group seeks to produce a list of common attributes that describe a research data repository and to provide examples of the current approaches that different data repositories are taking to express and expose these attributes. The working group will produce two documentary outputs over the course of 18 months and four Research Data Alliance (RDA) plenary meetings; they are: 

1) a list of common descriptive attributes of a data repository with 

     a) a definition of each attribute, 

     b) a rationale for the use and value of each attribute, 

     c) the feasibility of its implementation, 

     d) a gap analysis of its current availability from data repositories, and 

2) a selection of examples that illustrate the approaches currently being taken by repositories to express and expose these attributes to users and user agents.

The list of descriptive attributes of a research data repository will be submitted for review and endorsement to become an RDA Recommendation, and the selection of exemplars will be submitted for consideration as an RDA Supporting Output.

RDA DRAWG Monthly Meeting

by Michael Witt

Dear RDA DRAWG, just a reminder of our call tomorrow. The focus of our discussion will be on the supporting output, which is to be a selection of examples of data repositories that illustrate different approaches currently being taken by data repositories to express and expose attributes about themselves for both human and machine consumption. We'll ask for input and discussion on: * Candidate data repositories for us to consider as examples that could represent a variety of approaches * The structure of the document that we'll produce

Re: [rda-wds-certdigitalrep-ig][drawg][trust] RDA P21 repository lightening talks

by Ingrid Dillo

Dear Meredith, Thanks for this kind invitation. I would also be happy to share some experiences with CoreTrustSeal certification. I could e.g. do that on the basis of the experiences and results from a recent certification support programme that we ran in the EU-funded FAIRsFAIR project. Let me know if you find this useful. Best wishes, Ingrid Ingrid Dillo Deputy Director | DANS Project Coordinator | FAIR-IMPACT Co-Chair Council | Research Data Alliance Anna van Saksenlaan 51 2593 HW The Hague The Netherlands

RDA Data Repository Attributes Working Group (DRAWG): The Home Stretch

by Michael Witt

Dear DRAWG, With vacations and summer travel, the chairs have decided that we won't meet this month and instead resume in August at the usual time on the third Thursday monthly until our work is to be concluded by P21. I just sent a new meeting invite and Zoom link for your calendars. No doubt, after a month's rest we'll be able to charge into the home stretch and wrap up our two deliverables. Best wishes, Allison, Kazu, Washington, Michael, Kathleen, and Matt - Michael Witt, Purdue University Associate Professor of Library Science

DRAWG Agenda for 15th June

by Matthew Cannon

Hi all, Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. The plan for the meeting is to take all the feedback we have received from P20 and create a clear action list to update the attributes doc. We will aim to do this in small groups. We have also prepared and submitted a proposal for a session at P21 in October, so can update you on that. Hope to see you there. Thanks Matt _________________________________________________________ Matt Cannon - Head of Open Research Taylor & Francis Group.
