This document provides an update on the Research Data Alliance (RDA) from June 2015. It summarizes that the RDA community focuses on building infrastructure to reduce barriers to data sharing and accelerate the development of global data infrastructure. It notes that the RDA has grown significantly since its launch in 2013 and now has over 2,900 members from 102 countries. It also lists several outputs and deliverables produced by RDA working groups to enable improved data sharing, including standards for data citation, metadata and data type registries.

- 2. 2 RDA community focuses on building social, organizational and technical infrastructure to reduce barriers to data sharing and exchange accelerate the development of coordinated global data infrastructure CREATE ADOPT USE RDA Working Group Infrastructure Deliverables are: Focused pieces of adopted code, policy, infrastructure, standards, or best practices that enable data to be shared and exchanged “Harvestable” efforts for which 12-18 months of work can eliminate a roadblock for a substantial community Efforts that have substantive applicability to “chunks” of the data community, but may not apply to everyone Efforts forwhich working scientists and researchers can start today while more long-term or far-reaching solutions are appropriately discussed in other venues Research Data Alliance created to Accelerate Development of Research Data Sharing Infrastructure Worldwide Plenary 2 Washington, DC
