Steps towards building interoperability in research tools using PIDs
The lack of interoperability between tools presents a significant barrier to streamlining research workflows throughout the research lifecycle. In this workshop we will present an outline of a series of design and integration guidelines for leveraging the persistent identifier and open metadata infrastructure to build interoperability features on research tools, to make research workflows FAIR. We invite the community to join the discussion and provide their perspectives and use cases to make the guidelines more adoptable.
Date: Tuesday 23 May
Time: 16:00 - 17:00 UTC

Expanding Scholix to support software: your input required
Scholix is a long-recognized standard (developed via RDA) to support linking between different objects, predominantly data and publications. The RDA/WDS Scholarly Link Exchange (Scholix) working group has generated a Scholix metadata schema, helped implement this schema in multiple Scholix hubs and other infrastructure providers, and built a community that provides data citation services.

It is widely accepted that the FAIR data principles highlight the importance of metadata. The Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) community has decades of experience in supporting data production and reuse within the social, behavioural, and economic sciences through the publication and use of detailed, machine-actionable metadata specifications. This webinar explores the lessons that have been learned over that time, and how these lessons can be applied more broadly in the context of FAIR data sharing.

Harmonizing Descriptions of Research Data Repositories
The RDA's Data Repository Attributes Working Group has been developing a list of common attributes that can be used to describe data repositories along with examples that showcase different approaches that repositories are taking to express and expose metadata about themselves. The group seeks to improve the discoverability and interoperability of repositories with registries, tools, and other infrastructure related to research data.
