Data in Context

Co-chairs: Brigitte Jörg, Keith Jeffery

RDA 3rd Plenary, March, 26th - 28th, 2014 Dublin

Brief History• 1st Plenary Gothenburg Preparing a WG Proposal/Case

Statement „Contextual Metadata“• A lot of interest• Revision of Initial Use Cases• Use Cases as specific as possible• Alignment with other WGs / Activities• Four revised use cases:

– Researcher: Find data ..– Manager: Indicate to funder – Provenance: Allow to take segments from streamed data workflows– Interoperability: Exchange of contextual metadata

• Rename Group to „Data in Context“

Data in Context IG Approach• Lifecycle Approach

– Linear Sequence of Elements– Cyclic Repetition of Elements

• Investigate Lifecycle Models– DCC: Conceptualize; Create; Access;

Use; Appraise; Select; Dispose; etc– DDI: Discovery & Planning; Initial

Data Collection; etc.– Research Lifecycle (Jisc): Research

Process: Simulate Experiment; Manage Data; Analyse; etc.

– etc. ??• Investigate contextually or

subcontextually-aware standardization work– OAIS; CASRAI; CERIF; VIVO; PROV;

PREMIS; MARC; CKAN; DCAT; ISO; W3C; OMG; Research Objects, etc.

• Investigate / Prioritize Reusable Requirements

• Deliverables: – M6: Overview of contextually-aware

standardization work– M12: Priority List of Requirements

• Goal: – Set up of a Working Group– Implementation of Standardized

Profiles

• Long-term Goal: – Automated Transformation

Between Standards

Collaboration / Exchange• RDA Foundation and Terminology• RDA Metadata Standards Directory WG• RDA PID Information Types WG• ICSU Open Metadata Catalogue and Knowledge Networks

WG• RDA/WDS Workflows for Publishing Data IG• RDA Data Description Registry Interoperability• RDA Semantic Interoperability Activity• RDA Metadata Interest Group• Various W3C groups (LOD, SW....)

Requirements / Needs

• Stakeholders• Data Producers• Data Consumers

• Standardized Open Vocabularies• Standardized Formal Data Profiles• Standardized Formal Semantics
