Brief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group:
The vision of the DSTS_CS-WG is to contribute to a mapping and understanding of the scientific and (Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) characteristics of data systems, innovative tools, and comprehensive services that contribute to reliable and resilient preparation, response, and recovery to crisis situations. The WG Case Statement can be found here: https://www.rd-alliance.org/group/rda-codata-data-systems-tools-and-serv…
The WG was endorsed by the RDA in October 2023, just prior to its first session at RDA Plenary 21 and gained support from RDA TIGER. Still in its start-up phase, the group is currently meeting monthly to finalise the definition of our case studies, advance other parts of our work plan and establish and strengthen our connections with other communities within and outside of RDA.
