What are RDA Adoption Stories?

The Research Data Alliance (RDA) currently hosts over 60 Interest Groups and more than 30 Working Groups consisting of experts who are working on various topics related to (open) research data and innovation. These working groups produce the RDA outputs: the technical and social infrastructure solutions enabling data sharing, exchange, and interoperability.

For you, to see how to implement the RDA Outputs to improve the sharing, exchange and interoperability of your own data, we’ve asked RDA members who have already adopted RDA Outputs, to share their experience and lessons learned in a story. Find below a series of RDA adoption stories by individuals, organisations and projects.

A series of Adoption videos tell you the stories from the mouth of the adopters – watch them in the RDA Adoption stories Playlist on Youtube.

Have you or your organisation adopted an RDA Output? Tell us about it by submitting your own Adoption Story. This helps others learn about the outputs and the lessons learned from their adoption.

Curating a research institutional scholarly record connecting externally deposited datasets.

University of Manchester adopted the Scholix Metadata Schema for Exchange of Scholarly Communication Links  How do you curate your institutional scholarly record when researchers deposit their data in external repositories, but they do not necessarily tell where they have published it? One helpful approach we found for this was to use Open APIs, that exist both for Scholix and […]
