Data Description Registry Interoperability WG at Research Data Alliance Third Plenary
- 1. Data Description Registry Interoperability (WG) co-chairs: Amir Aryani, Adrian Burton
- 2. Agenda: • working group goal/objective • participants • discussion about o the challenges for cross-platform discovery o the collaboration opportunities with other groups
- 3. Meeting notes: • http://goo.gl/zUxhaV • Also posted by • @amir_at_ands • #RDAPlenary
- 4. What is the problem? Cross-platform discovery • So many places to search • Research data registries are fragmented across institutions, countries and research domains. • So many search results • Finding a relevant dataset is not a trivial task for many researchers.
- 6. Working software solution • Not aiming to develop new standards or create new protocols, • instead aiming to leverage existing e- infrastructure to build a set of working software solutions.
- 7. Participants
- 8. Bilateral projects • INSPIRE-HEP (CERN) and Research Data Australia (ANDS) Interoperability Project • Dryad and Research Data Australia Interoperability Project • NARCIS (DANS) & Research Data Australia Interoperability Project • VIVO Data Description Exchange Solutions • DCI (Thomson Reuters) and Research Data Australia Interoperability Project • DataCite Data Description Exchange Solutions • da|ra and Data-PASS Interoperability Project

- 10. RDA WG Assumptions •Activity funded through pre- existing sources •Willingness to share and to contribute to a global task •Willingness to extend existing projects to test conclusions
- 11. This Working Group •Existing discovery interoperability projects •Share learning and contribute to a more general framework for discovery interoperability •Extend existing projects to test and implement that framework
- 12. Outputs •Bi-lateral project reports •Shared Framework document •Installed code base; enabling infrastructure
- 14. General Framework – first steps 1. Making it easier to federate and aggregate information from data description registries 2. Making it easier to provide meaningful consolidated discovery
- 15. 1.Easier Aggregation and Federation •Reduce friction and unnecessary effort •Existing mature protocols OAI-PMH, OGC CSW, DDI SDMX, OpenSearch, SRU, WPT... •Identify, list and describe commonly used protocols and their parameters •Facilitate the market place through registers of compliant registries
- 16. Better Discovery •Standardised concepts •Identifiers for linkage and de-duplication •Research Context: data-grants-publication
- 17. Registry [system] A place [system] where registers (official lists) or records are kept [and made machine accessible] R
- 18. Discovery Services Some data description registries support web services that enable: •Run a query •Ask for descriptions R
- 19. Standard Protocols for Discovery Standard protocols exist for those discovery services Geospatial Statistical Inf Mgmt Astro etc SDMX IVO ... OAIPMH SRU OGC
