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、再使用、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--永久数字识别符、共享元数据框架等)，以及社区政策和组织做法形式的社会基础设施(统一标准、数据获取和保存办法等)。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财年计划成立，是一个由国际社会推动的组织。RDA的使命是建立所需的社会、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现在正在努力制定至少五年的稳定支持模式。RDA 2项目为美国在RDA中的参与和领导以及美国社区在RDA(RDA/U.S.)中的战略扩展提供支持。RDA 2包括a)扩大、多样化和加强RDA/美国社区的战略努力和试点，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.将由一个指导委员会领导，该委员会由RPI(主席)Fran Berman、印第安纳州Beth Plale(技术项目副主席)、CNRI(外联和发展副主席)Larry Lannom和RPI(常务董事)Mark Parsons组成。RDA 2项目通过增加美国的参与度和领导力来建立RDA。RDA 2通过三个战略领域的试点建立RDA/美国：社区参与和外联、学生和早期职业参与以及采用和影响放大。试点旨在扩大和多样化RDA/美国数据社区，增加RDA交付成果在美国的影响，并增强RDA对美国机构、社区、企业和个人的好处。一个强大的RDA/U.S.可以成为加速美国创新的工具，并为美国社区定位，以获得更大的竞争力和领导力。RDA/U.S.可以为使新的美国政策方法和计划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
