THE RDA OUTCOMES LEGEND
Recommendations: are as currently defined and should be
presented as the flagship outputs of RDA. We should
specifically use the word RECOMMENDATION. They are RDA’s
equivalent of the “specifications” or “standards” that other
organisations create and endorse. The process for creating and
endorsing these is already defined.
Supporting Outputs: are the outputs of RDA WGs and IGs that
are fruit of RDA work, but are not necessarily adoptable
bridges. “Upon request”, these sort of outputs go through a
community comment period and if no major objections or gaps
are identified they get the RDA Brand.
Other Outputs: include workshop reports, published articles,
survey results, etc. Anything a WG or IG wants to register and
report. Upon request, these are published and discoverable on
the RDA website but have no level of endorsement.
www.rd-alliance.org/recommendaions-outputs
RDA Recommendations & Outputs
WWW.RD-ALLIANCE.ORG
@RESDATALL
Data Foundation & Terminology: a model for data in the
registered domain.
PID Information Types: a common protocol for providers
and users of persistent ID services worldwide.
Data Type Registries: allowing humans and machines to
act on unknown, but registered, data types.
Practical Policy: defining best practices of how to deal
with data automatically and in a documented way with
computer actionable policy.
RDA Recommendations & Outputs

@RESDATALL
Metadata standards directory: Community curated
standards catalogue for metadata interoperability
Data Citation: defining mechanisms to reliably cite
dynamic data
Data Description Registry Interoperability solutions
enabling cross platform discovery based on existing open
protocols and standards
Wheat Data Interoperability impacting the
discoverability, reusability and interoperability of wheat
data by building a common framework for describing,
representing linking and publishing wheat data
RDA Recommendations & Outputs

@RESDATALL
Repository Audit and Certification DSA–WDS: A convergent DSA-WDS
certification standard to help eliminate duplication of effort, increase
certification procedure coherence and compatibility thus benefitting
researchers, data managers, librarians and scientific communities.
RDA/WDS Publishing Data Bibliometrics: improved research data metrics
and corresponding services, with the final goal of increasing the overall
availability and quality of citations and research data itself.
RDA/WDS Publishing Data Services: A universal interlinking service between
data and the scientific literature.
RDA/WDS Publishing Data Workflows: enhance the possibilities for greater
discoverability and a more efficient and reliable reuse of research data
benefitting other stakeholders like publishers, libraries and data centres.

  • 12. THE RDA OUTCOMES LEGEND Recommendations: are as currently defined and should be presented as the flagship outputs of RDA. We should specifically use the word RECOMMENDATION. They are RDA’s equivalent of the “specifications” or “standards” that other organisations create and endorse. The process for creating and endorsing these is already defined. Supporting Outputs: are the outputs of RDA WGs and IGs that are fruit of RDA work, but are not necessarily adoptable bridges. “Upon request”, these sort of outputs go through a community comment period and if no major objections or gaps are identified they get the RDA Brand. Other Outputs: include workshop reports, published articles, survey results, etc. Anything a WG or IG wants to register and report. Upon request, these are published and discoverable on the RDA website but have no level of endorsement. www.rd-alliance.org/recommendaions-outputs RDA Recommendations & Outputs WWW.RD-ALLIANCE.ORG @RESDATALL
  • 13. Data Foundation & Terminology: a model for data in the registered domain. PID Information Types: a common protocol for providers and users of persistent ID services worldwide. Data Type Registries: allowing humans and machines to act on unknown, but registered, data types. Practical Policy: defining best practices of how to deal with data automatically and in a documented way with computer actionable policy.

  • 14. Metadata standards directory: Community curated standards catalogue for metadata interoperability Data Citation: defining mechanisms to reliably cite dynamic data Data Description Registry Interoperability solutions enabling cross platform discovery based on existing open protocols and standards Wheat Data Interoperability impacting the discoverability, reusability and interoperability of wheat data by building a common framework for describing, representing linking and publishing wheat data RDA Recommendations & Outputs www.rd-alliance.org/recommendaions-outputs WWW.RD-ALLIANCE.ORG @RESDATALL
  • 15. Repository Audit and Certification DSA–WDS: A convergent DSA-WDS certification standard to help eliminate duplication of effort, increase certification procedure coherence and compatibility thus benefitting researchers, data managers, librarians and scientific communities. RDA/WDS Publishing Data Bibliometrics: improved research data metrics and corresponding services, with the final goal of increasing the overall availability and quality of citations and research data itself. RDA/WDS Publishing Data Services: A universal interlinking service between data and the scientific literature. RDA/WDS Publishing Data Workflows: enhance the possibilities for greater discoverability and a more efficient and reliable reuse of research data benefitting other stakeholders like publishers, libraries and data centres.
