Discover what RDA Working and Interest Groups and all other Groups are up to and find out how to join them. Explore Groups
With over 14000 individual members from 150+ countries, RDA provides a neutral space where its members can come together to develop and adopt infrastructure that promotes data-sharing and data-driven research
The Research Data Alliance accomplishes its mission primarily through Working and Interest Groups. Discover all of them and learn how to join.
RDA Outputs are the technical and social infrastructure solutions that enable data sharing, exchange and interoperability
This whiteboard is open to all RDA discipline specialists willing to give a personal account of what data-related challenges they are facing and how RDA is helping them

Dear Jamie, Peter, All,
The discussion is really going in the direction that may combine and
coordinate may individual activities.
I would like to add couple of comments on RDA role in training from
EDISON project and from community that we built around the RDA IG
Education and Training on handling of research data (IG-ETRD).
The EDISON project is developing a conceptual/foundational framework for
Data Science professions family - this means including professional
occupations from Data Scientists researchers to Data Stewards and
Digital Librarians as examples. You can find all this described in our
discussion documents at http://edison-project.eu/discussion-documents
All EDISON activities and results are targeted for RDA community and
regularly presented to IG-ETRD which represents worldwide RDA community.
The proposed EDISON Data Science Competence Framework (CF-DS) defines 5
required competence areas and (Research) Data Management (RDM/DM) is one
of considered mandatory for all professional profiles.
What we also discovered when studying existing Data Science programmes
at universities is that RDM is not covered in almost all programmes. One
of reasons is that there is no available standard/model RDM/DM curricula
and correspondingly teaching staff.
To address this gap, IG-ETRD at its last meeting at RDA7 in Tokyo
decided to create a special WG on Research Data Management literacy.
As part of EDISON activity we have already started consulting individual
IG-ETRD members and partner projects in Europe to create academic model
curriculum on RDM.
We have intention to bring this initiative to wider RDA community and
are ready to cooperate, in particular with CERN, where we already had
initial information exchange about CF-DS with HR department.
Hopefully, this information will be useful to further define RDA
coordination activity on education and training on RDM topics.
I will be ready to provide any details about IG-ETRD and EDISON activities.
Best regards,
