Résumé
On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the RDA, and as we approach the end of our Belmont-funded project, PARSEC (www.parsecproject.org), we felt it was time to discuss the practicalities of collaboration, data and code sharing for publication and re-use across the globe. The PARSEC team from five geographically-dispersed countries has collaborated for four years on the collation and harmonisation of data and the development of new methods for sharing data and code as we investigate the socio-economic effects of nature conservation initiatives. We have had very profitable partnerships in this endeavour with several leading data infrastructure and research tool providers, including ORCID, DataCite, the RDA itself, and the World Data System. In this session representatives of the key data science infrastructures (ORCID, Scholix, Crossref, DataCite, the WDS, the Environmental Data Initiative) and users representing the voice of marine conservation, machine learning, data for artificial intelligence, health and life sciences, social inequalities in health, the geoscience community and domain variations in open science and open data discuss the challenges they face and their vision of the optimum path to the future.
