Hello,

This is a call for all RDA Working and Interest Groups to share what they have produced that they think is broadly useful or informative…

RDA builds the social and technical bridges that enable the open sharing of data.

That’s our mission statement. It’s a good mission statement. It helps us focus on delivering the interconnections that make infrastructure functional, and these interconnections or “bridges” are the outputs that help RDA produce value. They take many forms.

RDA is a global organisation working to develop and deploy standards that help us communicate better so we can to solve big problems. RDA is also an organisation of humans who communicate in very informal and idiosyncratic ways. This diversity of communication styles makes our discourse very rich, but it can also be very confusing. You would think we could agree on some of the basics like date and time.

RDA welcomes submissions for session proposals for its 8th Plenary meeting to be held in Denver, Colorado from 15th - 17th September 2016, as part of the International Data Week (IDW). 

Dear RDA Members,

We are delighted to inform you that the RDA web site is back on-line and has a new look and feel. Content has been revised, restructured and a new graphic design applied. 

We have tested extensively and included numerous link redirects and we hope to have captured them all but would be grateful for your feedback and notifications via email to support@rd-alliance.org
