Find out how to partner with us for the RDA 6th Plenary in Paris, 23- 25 September 2015! Join us for an international event gathering industry and academic experts, world leaders involved in the data ecosystem !

2. The RDA Vision is researchers and
innovators openly sharing data
across technologies, disciplines, and
countries to address the grand
challenges of society.
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 for which working scientists and
researchers can start today while more long-term
or far-reaching solutions are appropriately
discussed in other venues

7. • 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.

Our Goal : Enterprise Engagement
with a focus on Research Data for Climate Change

9. Experimentation Day : focus on Research Data for Climate Change
France will be hosting the 21st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) from
November 30th to December 11th. In order to echo back to this crucial global event, we
want to demonstrate how the work of RDA is a key to numerous climate change issues.
An “Experimentation Day” will host
startups and companies along side RDA
groups which will have the opportunity to
demonstrate their solutions.
An international call for demonstrations on
climate-related data process will be
launched soon and selected projects will be
showcased in Paris on September 24th.

10. Connecting Climate Change related data sets with practical application
As a part of the special focus on Research Data for Climate Change we will create a
special Challenge designed to connect Climate Change related Data Sets with practical
applications.
 The challenge with its associated data sets will be announced during Futur en Seine,
the international digital festival in Paris in June.
 The 3 most promising solutions will be highlighted during the Experimentation Day
during Plenary 6.
 The challenge winner will be announced during P6 Plenary on last day.
 Demonstration of the winner’s solution and data set during the UN Climate Change
Conference (COP21) in December *to be confirmed
