Description
The Research Data Alliance (RDA) implements the technology, practice, and connections that make Data Work across barriers. The RDA aims to accelerate and facilitate research data sharing and exchange. The work of the RDA is primarily undertaken through its working groups. Community-based approaches cover worldwide activities seeking to address cross-domain challenges for the common good and find answers to major scientific and societal challenges. RDA is tackling these key challenges through a bottom-up approach with working groups focusing on short-term concrete goals. This presentation gives an update to the output from the recent 2nd Plenary in Washington DC on 16 - 18 September 2013 and complements with details from the supporting activities of the RDA Europe - The European plug-in into RDA.
