Wrap-up & Encourage New Members [10 minutes]
Anyone interested in data granularity issues as they relate to: discovery, access, interoperability, analysis, citability, and/or curation.
The recently endorsed and launched RDA Data Granularity Working Group (WG) will address issues of data granularity in data discovery, access, interoperability, analysis, citation, and more. More efficient and effective reuse of data requires that users can find and access data at various levels of granularity. The WG will explore key questions and collect and share valuable information for how to best support data granularity, providing guidance to help data professionals to determine the best level of granularity for user discovery, access, interoperability and citability. The activities and final recommendations of the Data Granularity WG will build upon and complement existing and ongoing work of several RDA Working and Interest Groups that touch upon the subject of data granularity. The final deliverable for the WG is a set of collected use cases and a guidance document of data granularity approaches for prioritized use cases, including terminology, methods to evaluate approaches, and a summary of community feedback.
BoF meetings were conducted at P15 (see session notes), P16 (notes) , P17 (notes and video) and P18. Since then, the provisional Data Granularity WG has been meeting regularly on a monthly basis to refine the directions for a case statement, and to better understand the existing needs and landscape for data granularity practices. We expect to be endorsed by the beginning of August and have taken steps to get working immediately by instituting sub-groups to work on the tasks outlined in the case statement.
he group aims to collect feedback regarding two documents in this Shared Folder of Public Documents for P19:
1. Use Cases Spreadsheet
2. Granularity Source Documents
The session will interactively solicit feedback on these documents. If you cannot attend the session, or have ideas afterward, please fill out our brief online survey.
