Brief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group:
This IG follows on from a BoF session held at RDA Plenary 21 / IDW in Salzburg, Austria, in October 2023, where a number of participants expressed an interest in establishing an RDA group on this topic. Another BoF session on this topic was held prior to the RDA P21 session, at eResearch Australasia in Brisbane, Australia, in October 2023.
Brief recap of the RDA P21 session
The session aimed to bring together participants with an interest in understanding and capturing the uptake of Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) and to gauge interest in this topic. The topic of Understanding and Capturing the Uptake of Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) was introduced in three short presentations and led to a lively discussion of e.g how to define uptake and success of DRIs, and how to encourage users to refer to DRIs in their published work.
Key outcomes/actions/takeaways
There was interest from about half the people in the room to progress this topic. An RDA IG open for everyone to join has been created at https://www.rd-alliance.org/groups/understanding-and-capturing-uptake-di…
The group is currently recruiting new members and developing a draft Charter for discussion at the RDA Plenary 22 session, as described above.
