The RDA Focus Group is working to establish a governance framework for the operation as an advisory group to ELIXIR missions in the scope of Research Data Alliance involvement. The Steering Committee will lead the development of the strategy in ELIXIR-RDA activities and the governance framework of this focus group.
Representative(s) from the RDA Activities Focus Group regularly attend the RDA Plenary Meeting, and communicate with the ELIXIR network via an executive summary generated after each plenary meeting. This Focus Group will meet every two months once an agreement of a regular bi-monthly slot is made with the group members. This focus group will
- act as a proxy of communication between ELIXIR and the other international initiatives in the RDA-CODATA-GOFAIR "Data Together" triangle
- represent ELIXIR in the RDA's Life Science Data Infrastructures IG
- establish a success criteria to measure the benefit of RDA involvement to ELIXIR members at large
- encourage an uptake of the RDA standards within ELIXIR and provide a venue to collect opinions and feedback from ELIXIR Communities and Technical Production in adopting RDA standards at ELIXIR
