Doctoral researchers in the College of Computing & Informatics’ (CCI)
Metadata Research Center (MRC) presented at the Research Data Alliance (RDA) 10th Plenary Meeting in Montreal, Canada, from Sept. 19 to 22. Information studies doctoral students
Sam Grabus and
Kai Li, who are both
RDA Data Share Fellows, presented their research posters on current fellowship progress.
Grabus’ poster, titled “
Advancing rights management metadata best practices across open and closed data sharing communities,” demonstrates preliminary efforts to develop a set of Rights Management Metadata best practices for Institutional Review Boards (IRB), based on researcher data sharing needs. Li’s poster, titled “
An Ontology of Data Events Based on GBIF Data Papers,” provides a preliminary effort to build a clear understanding of what datasets go through before they are described in the data paper. The events that are posed on datasets in the experiments are identified and classified, so that a structured ontology can be established to facilitate future automatic works.
Alice B. Kroeger Professor
Jane Greenberg, PhD recently presented on “Metadata Solutions for Sharing Restricted Data” as part of the ESS/SAES/ARD Fall Meeting. She also presented on the NSF Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub Spoke initiative, “
A Licensing Model and Ecosystem for Data Sharing,” to the RDA Legal Interoperability Group. This collaborative work is led by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Brown University and Drexel’s Metadata Research Center. Greenberg also helped lead the “Engaging early career researchers and professionals” discussion, which identified potential next steps for the RDA data share fellows program.
