RCN: Building the Research Data Alliance Community through US and International Engagement (RDA 2)

数据驱动的创新需要基础设施来支持数字数据的共享、访问、使用、重用、分析和管理。数据基础设施包括用于数据发现和分析的网络基础设施工具（及其基本技术结构和组成部分-持久数字标识符、共享元数据框架等），社区政策和组织做法形式的社会基础设施（统一标准、数据访问和保存方法等）。为了满足全球对数据基础设施日益增长的需求，研究数据联盟（RDA）于2013财年计划并启动，作为一个国际社区驱动的组织。RDA的使命是建立必要的社会、组织和技术基础设施，以减少数据共享和交换的障碍，并在全球范围内加速数据驱动的创新。在急剧增长之后，RDA目前正在努力制定一个至少为期五年的稳定支持模式。RDA 2项目为美国在RDA中的参与和领导提供支持，并为美国社区在RDA中的战略扩张提供支持。RDA 2整合了a）战略努力和试点，以扩大、多样化和加强RDA/美国社区，以及B）支持美国对RDA运营和领导的贡献，包括美国参与和主办RDA全体会议。RDA/U.S.将由指导委员会领导，指导委员会由RPI的Fran Berman（主席）、IU的Beth Plale（技术项目副主席）、CNRI的Larry Lannom（外联和开发副主席）和RPI的Mark Parsons（董事总经理）组成。RDA 2项目通过增加美国的参与和领导来建立RDA。RDA 2通过三个战略领域的试点建立RDA/美国：社区参与和推广，学生和早期职业参与，以及采用和影响放大。这些试点旨在扩大RDA/美国数据社区并使其多样化，增加RDA可交付成果在美国的影响，提高RDA对美国机构、社区、企业和个人的益处。一个强大的RDA/U.S.可以成为加速美国创新的工具，并为美国社区提供更大的竞争力和领导力。RDA/U.S.可以为使美国新的政策方法和举措发挥作用所需的数据基础设施做出贡献，并作为一种资本化手段

Data-driven innovation requires a foundation of infrastructure to support the sharing, access, use, re-use, analysis, and stewardship of digital data. Data infrastructure includes cyber-infrastructure tools for data discovery and analysis (and their underlying technical structures and components -- persistent digital identifiers, shared metadata frameworks, etc.), and social infrastructure in the form of community policy and organizational practice (harmonization of standards, approaches for data access and preservation, etc.). To address the growing global need for data infrastructure, the Research Data Alliance (RDA) was planned and launched in FY13 as an international community-driven organization. RDA's mission is to build the social, organizational, and technical infrastructure needed to reduce barriers to data sharing and exchange, and to accelerate data-driven innovation world-wide. In the wake of precipitous growth, RDA is now working to develop a stable support model for at least a five-year period. The RDA 2 project provides support for U.S. participation and leadership within the RDA, as well as strategic expansion of the U.S. community within RDA (RDA/U.S.). RDA 2 integrates a) strategic efforts and pilots to expand, diversify, and strengthen the RDA/U.S. community, and b) support for U.S. contributions to RDA operations and leadership, including U.S. participation in, and hosting of, RDA Plenaries. RDA/U.S. will be led by a Steering Committee consisting of Fran Berman, RPI (Chair), Beth Plale, IU, (Vice Chair, Technical Programs), Larry Lannom, CNRI, (Vice Chair, Outreach and Development) and Mark Parsons, RPI (Managing Director).The RDA 2 project builds RDA through increasing U.S. engagement and leadership. RDA 2 builds RDA/U.S. through pilots in three strategic areas: Community Engagement and Outreach, Student and Early Career Engagement, and Adoption and Impact Amplification. The pilots are designed to expand and diversify RDA/U.S. data community, increase the impact of RDA deliverables in the U.S., and enhance the benefit of RDA for U.S. institutions, communities, businesses, and individuals. A strong RDA/U.S. can be a vehicle for accelerating U.S. innovation, and positioning the U.S. community for greater competitiveness and leadership. RDA/U.S. can contribute to the data infrastructure needed to make new U.S. policy approaches and initiatives work, and serve as a means of capitalizing
