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、再利用、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（及其底层技术结构和组件——持久数字标识符、共享元数据框架等），以及社区政策和组织实践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）作为一个国际社区驱动的组织于2013财年计划并启动。RDA的使命是建立社会、组织和技术基础设施，以减少数据共享和交换的障碍，并加速全球范围内的数据驱动创新。在急剧增长之后，RDA正在努力开发一个至少持续五年的稳定支持模式。RDA 2项目为美国参与和领导RDA提供支持，并为美国社区在RDA中的战略扩张提供支持（RDA/U.S.）。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b)支持美国对RDA运作和领导的贡献，包括美国参与和主持RDA全体会议。RDA /美国将由一个指导委员会领导，该委员会由Fran Berman， RPI（主席），Beth Plale， IU（技术项目副主席），Larry Lannom， CNRI（外联和发展副主席）和Mark Parsons， RPI（总经理）组成。RDA 2项目通过加强美国的参与和领导来建立RDA。RDA 2构建了RDA/U.S.通过三个战略领域的试点：社区参与和推广、学生和早期职业参与、采用和影响扩大。这些试点项目旨在扩大和多样化RDA/U.S.数据社区，增加RDA可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。强劲的RDA/U.S.可以成为加速美国创新的工具，并使美国社会具有更大的竞争力和领导地位。RDA /美国能够为使美国新的政策方法和倡议发挥作用所需的数据基础设施做出贡献，并作为资本化的手段

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
