研究数据联盟（RDA）是一个社区驱动的组织，致力于开发和使用技术，社会和社区基础设施，促进数据共享和数据驱动的探索。RDA对于全球学术界尤为重要，因为全球学术界的研究基础设施往往是临时性的，可能具有较短的保质期，并且难以获得资金。RDA在2013年推出时引起了共鸣。从那时起，RDA已经吸引了来自130多个国家的9400多名成员，并开发了世界各地团体使用的基础设施。其创始人之一是Francine Berman（FB），2019-2020年哈佛拉德克利夫研究员和伦斯勒理工学院计算机科学的Edward P.汉密尔顿杰出教授。在RDA发展的前6年，Berman担任RDA领导理事会的联合主席和RDA美国地区（RDA/US）的主席。她在开发和运营国家级网络基础设施方面的领导和组织经验（她是圣地亚哥超级计算机中心的前主任）以及她广泛的社区贡献帮助推动了RDA的成功。在这篇文章中，Berman接受了哈佛大学研究数据官Merce Crosas的采访，他是首席信息官领导团队的成员，也是Dataverse的领导者。伯曼和克罗萨斯通过RDA认识，他们都对经营一个以社区为中心的组织的好处和挑战有着深刻的了解。他们在下面的对话中分享了一些见解。更多信息，包括RDA社区的细节和RDA的“起源故事”，可以在这里找到。关键词：基础设施，数据共享，互操作性，管理，研究数据，社区组织，数据管理
The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is a community-driven organization dedicated to the development and use of technical, social, and community infrastructure promoting data sharing and data-driven exploration. RDA is particularly important for the global academic community where research infrastructure is often ad hoc, may have a short shelf-life, and hard to fund.At its launch in 2013, RDA struck a chord. Since then, RDA has attracted more than 9400 members from 130-plus countries and developed infrastructure used by groups all over the world. One of its founders is Francine Berman (FB), 2019–2020 Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard and the Edward P. Hamilton Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Berman served as co-chair of RDA’s leadership council and chair of the U.S. region of RDA (RDA/US) for the first 6 years of RDA’s growth. Her leadership and organizational experience in developing and operating national-scale cyberinfrastructure (she is former director of the San Diego Supercomputer Center) and her broad community contributions have helped drive the success of RDA.In this piece, Berman is interviewed by Merce Crosas, Harvard University’s Research Data Officer with the Chief Information Officer’s leadership team and leader of Dataverse. Berman and Crosas met through RDA and both have deep knowledge of the benefits and challenges of running a community-focused organization. They share some of those insights in the conversation below.
