What is RDA? RDA is an international organization focused on the development of infrastructure and community activities that reduce barriers to data sharing and exchange, and the acceleration of data driven innovation worldwide.
With more than 3,200 members globally representing more than 100 countries, RDA includes data science professionals from multiple disciplines, including but not limited to academia, library sciences, earth science, astronomy and meteorology.
RDA is building the social and technical bridges that enable open sharing of data to achieve its vision of researchers and innovators openly sharing data
across technologies, disciplines, and countries to address the grand challenges of society.
https://rd-alliance.org/about.html
What does RDA do? Members come together through self-formed, volunteer, focussed Working Groups, exploratory Interest Groups to exchange knowledge, share discoveries, discuss barriers and potential solutions, explore and define policies and test as well as harmonise standards to enhance and facilitate global data sharing.
RDA members collaborate together regionally and with the global RDA community to tackle numerous infrastructure challenges related to:
ReproducibilityData preservationBest practices for domain
repositoriesCurriculum developmentData citation
Data type registriesMetadataand so many more!

RDA Interest (IG) & Working Groups (WG) by Focus (2)
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.
https://rd-alliance.org/rda-outputs.html
Recommendations & Outputs
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
https://rd-alliance.org/rda-outputs.html
Recommendations & Outputs
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.
https://rd-alliance.org/rda-outputs.html
Recommendations & Outputs
Call for Collaboration Projects
Co-organization of domain workshops or training courses on barriers, solutions, RDA results and adoption possibilities.
Adoption of a specific RDA output and integration into the infrastructure software stack.
Adaptation of some existing software stack to be compliant with RDA guidelines.
Writing guidelines on RDA output tuned to domain specialties.
In the case of RDA Result Uptake & Test projects collaborations should be short and focused activities with concrete results produced within a 6 month time frame and should be in the order of 15.000€.
