Historical Groups

Status: Recognised & Endorsed The Engagement Interest Group is a collaborative whose purpose is to stimulate broader awareness of data openness and exchange as well as to engage researchers, curators, and other audiences in the development and implementation of RDA decisions. The group is open for participation to anyone interested in needs assessment, user studies, ethnographic approaches to knowledge and science, as well as in history of changes in epistemic cultures and forms of knowledge production and dissemination.

Status: Recognised & Endorsed The aim of this Interest Group is to develop a set of good practices for managing research data archived in the university context as universities and research institutions are becoming increasingly interested in collecting and providing access to datasets produced at their institution that do not fall within the scope of other discipline-based, or government repositories.
