Actions from last meeting:

  • Data Provider:

    • Consolidate the document, add more references (WM, NA) - NA has merged her notes into Bill’s.

    • Ask a couple of data providers to comment on the document (MFW) - Done. Contacted people were asked to put their comments in before the RDA P9, they are happy to help.  

  • Data Repository:

    • Enrich the document with examples from repositories  (MFW)

      • MFW has elaborated most of dot points and added examples, will try to finish the rest by end of this week.

    • Review and comment on the document (Siri and WM)

  • Data Seeker:

    • Reach out to librarians and ask them to either be involved or comment on the document (WM and ALL)

      • Will continue to follow this up.

Discussion Notes:

Data Providers:

  • Bill and Natalia have combined the two lists. The document is in good shape.

  • AdW suggests to add an introduction section and put some notes into a discussion section.
    Action: NA will edit the document to incorporate AdW’s suggestion.  

Data Repository:

  • NA suggested to discuss the role of vocabulary for facet filtering and browsing.
    Action: MFW will incorporate this suggestion into the corresponding dot point.

  • IMOS may have useage and collection stats from its repository.

Action: NA will provide screenshots of stats examples to MFW - Done

 

Data Seeker

  • We still have the question from last meeting: Who would use this and when? Answer could be fresh graduates and librarians who provide research skill training to early career researchers on how to find research data.  

  • One of ANDS 23 things - Data Discovery may have material for this subtask.

  • SJK asked questions “What does a LOD enable earch look like to a user” and “how to search data in deep web”, then recommended this should go to the BP for repositories.  

Action:

  • Bill will try to reach out to people from a RDA interest group “Libraries for Research Data” IG.

  • SJK will try to reach out data librarians from his workplace to comment on the document.  

  • MFW will look at the ANDS 23 things for relevant material.

 

General discussion:

  • For  informing other RDA IGs about the three best practices before the P9 and get their feedback, MFW will write a short overarching introduction with links to each best practice.

  • There will be no meeting for this task force before the P9, but a joint meeting with all three task forces.

Action: MFW is going to send a doodle poll. - Done
