SUMMARY:WorldFAIR Output Webinar Series: Final meeting of the Cultural Heritage and Social Surveys
DESCRIPTION:Times in UTC \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for the final meeting of the Cultural Heritage and Social Surveys case studies and discuss their latest reports (Social Sciences) Pilot implementation of guidelines with ESS and AUSSI-ESS datasets & Final Report on Cultural Heritage FAIR sharing (coming soon).  \n\n\n\nSpeakers: Steven McEachern (WP6)\, Beth Knazook (WP13) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the case study on Social Surveys \n\n\n\nComparative studies in social science are relatively well-established\, with strong traditions of sharing data across countries to establish multi-national comparative data sets for studying cultural\, social and political variations in attitudes and institutions. The EU-funded European Social Survey has regularly conducted cross-national surveys of social attitudes of the European population since 2002. \n\n\n\nMore recently\, the ESS has been partnering with a number of researchers outside the EU to establish satellite studies of the ESS in Australia\, Japan and South Africa. The extension of practices to these countries provide a new opportunity to compare and harmonise practices and technologies\, focusing on Interoperability and Reusability. \n\n\n\nThis case study undertakes a comparative study of the data management\, harmonization and integration practices of one of the satellite countries – Australia\, through the AUSSI-ESS – and the core ESS\, an ERIC social science infrastructure. It leverages the DDI metadata standards to understand how such multi-national collections could be made increasingly interoperable and reusable through shared procedural and technical development\, and establish a set of guidelines and tools for the development of cross-national collections into the future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the case study on Cultural Heritage \n\n\n\nCultural Heritage collections in Galleries\, Libraries\, Archives and Museums (GLAMs) provide the input for research in a range of disciplines. Online digital image sharing practices and policies established by leading institutions and professional bodies charged with providing care and access to cultural memory are well established\, but serve to support accessibility and interpretability\, and not specifically interoperability or reusability as data for the research process. This case study looks at how GLAM practices that support image sharing can be brought into closer alignment with the FAIR principles for research data to support a growing need for cultural heritage data.  \n\n\n\nSeveral global image-sharing communities/platforms exist online and these communities provide large (but not very FAIR) datasets and crucial networks for coordination. \n\n\n\nThe sharing of visual sources in particular has challenges around copyright\, but also increasingly around what is being represented by the images and their associated metadata (i.e. surrogate vs original) as the sector undergoes a paradigm shift to consider its Collections as Data. The GLAMs have many well-established metadata standards and vocabularies\, and persistent identifiers also exist\, however compared to the output of the other research disciplines being examined as part of the WorldFAIR project\, GLAMs specifically\, and Humanities disciplines more generally\, have comparatively less-developed data sharing cultures.The Digital Repository of Ireland\, a CTS-certified repository for arts\, humanities and social sciences (AHSS) data\, has played a leading role in aligning the work of the cultural heritage sector with FAIR (see the DRI’s position statement on FAIR and Open Science). Through this case study\, the DRI will produce a mapping report of existing policies and practices that support image sharing across diverse collecting institutions\, develop a set of broadly applicable recommendations for shifting these practices into closer alignment with FAIR\, and implement the recommendations at the Repository. Establishing FAIR practices in the GLAM sector would have a very significant effect on the sharing of cultural heritage data\, and on the research data management practices across the arts\, humanities and social sciences disciplines\, making this case study itself multidisciplinary and multisectoral.

SUMMARY:Kickoff of Harmonised terminologies and schemas for FAIR data in materials science and related domains Working Group
DESCRIPTION:Meeting objectives:  \n\n\n\n\nSpread awareness about the group and the broader landscape of materials data\n\n\n\nShare their knowledge/awareness of existing resources (including semantic artefacts\, services and best practices) – Stream A objective \n\n\n\nDiscuss consensus classifications and FAIR maturity indicators – Stream A & B objectives  \n\n\n\n\nBrief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group:  \n\n\n\nThe focus of the WG is on increasing uptake of the FAIR Principles in materials research (in particular in connection with Interoperability and Reusability)\, supported by improved resources\, in particular widely-agreed and FAIR terminologies\, metadata and ontologies. While the main focus of the WG is in the material sciences\, close interactions with cognate domains\, in particular chemistry\, are crucial in order to avoid conflicting approaches and also to utilise and integrate with already existing semantic artefacts and resources in these fields. \n\n\n\nThe group brings together activities and initiatives related to FAIR data in materials domains from many European countries\, EU project\, and initiatives in the US\, Korea and Japan. There are currently 34 members registered via the RDA site.

SUMMARY:The WorldFAIR Webinar Series: Guidelines and Recommendations from the Case Studies on Geochemistry and Disaster Risk Reduction
DESCRIPTION:Times in UTC \n\n\nRegister here\n\nThis webinar will present the activities\, guidelines and recommendations from the WorldFAIR case studies on Geochemistry and Disaster Risk reduction. \n\nMore about the case study on Geochemistry \n\nThe WorldFAIR Geochemistry Work Package (WP) 05 is about bringing the diverse international Geochemistry community together and creating a global network of key geochemical data infrastructures. Through the formalisation of the OneGeochemistry initiative\, generation of FAIR Implementation Profiles (FIPs) and community engagement this work package supports knowledge sharing of best practices and standardisation of geochemical data\, enabling researchers to use and reuse data in large scale (big data) research and cross disciplinary studies. \n\nPublished reports: \n\n\n\nFormalisation of OneGeochemistry\n\n\n\nWorldFAIR Geochemistry Methodology and Outreach\n\n\n\nWorldFAIR Guidelines for implementing Geochemistry FIPs \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore about the case study on Disaster Risk Reduction.  \n\nThe global Disaster Risk Reduction community is a diverse group of people and organisations encompassing NGOs\, governmental bodies\, academic researchers\, practitioners\, and institutions actively engaged in mitigating disaster risks and fortifying resilience. The objective is to enhance the safety of people\, assets\, and the environment by reducing vulnerabilities to natural hazards. The community believes that local solutions are superior to top-down expert-led solutions but these localised\, grassroots solutions has led to a variety of data formats\, terminologies\, and analysis techniques\, unique and specific to different regions. This case study aims to describe this plethora of detailed\, locally specific data and linguistic variants and find ways to unify them. We envision it as a significant step towards the creation of a communal language and mutual understanding within the DRR arena.The ability of DRR community members to better share data\, terms\, and solutions should lead to a more global understanding on the current state of DRR\, lead to better solutions\, and ultimately save lives. \n\nPublished reports: \n\n\n\nDisaster Risk Reduction Case study report\n\n\n\nDisaster Risk Reduction Domain-specific FAIR vocabularies

SUMMARY:The WorldFAIR Project: The journey so far and next steps
DESCRIPTION:22 May 2024\, 12:00 – 14:00 UTC \n\n\n\n23 May 2024\, 12:00 – 14:00 UTC \n\n\nRegister here\n\n\nThis special double session co-located with the RDA Virtual Plenary 22 is designed to show case the outputs from the WorldFAIR project and to discuss next steps. The event is open to all; you do not need to be a member of the WorldFAIR consortium to join.  \n\n\n\nWorldFAIR has a number of distinctive features that are worthy of attention and will be of interest to the RDA community.  WorldFAIR is a two-year European Commission funded project to advance the implementation of the FAIR principles.  Coordinated by CODATA and with the RDA as an important partner\, WorldFAIR has the distinction of being a genuinely global project and – thanks to special EC rules – has funded partners from around the world.   \n\n\n\nThe core of the WorldFAIR project are the 11 case studies\, which represent a wide range of sciences\, communities and challenges\, with global geographical coverage. These were identified from groups active in CODATA\, RDA or both.  Among the partners in these case studies are number of organisations that play an important role in articulating and agreeing metadata and terminology standards for researchers in various domains. The first session will explore the outputs from these case studies and in particular the recommendations made.  A selection of the Case Studies will describe their work\, their experience of using FIPs and will articulate key recommendations for the use of metadata standards and terminologies and structured around the most important themes and issues encountered. \n\n\n\nThe second session will focus on one of the key outputs of WorldFAIR: the Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework (CDIF). CDIF provides a set of guidelines and practice for using domain-agnostic standards to support the interoperability and reusability of FAIR data\, especially across domain and institutional boundaries.  CDIF has been developed based on input from WorldFAIR’s 11 case studies\, including their FIPs\, a series of dedicated meetings\, and the participation of all the case studies in two successive workshops hosted at the Leibniz Foundation’s Dagstuhl Centre. Thirty invited experts have participated in drafting the CDIF guidelines\, including members of many related FAIR initiatives and standards bodies\, and has therefore\, drawn on significant expertise both within and outside the WorldFAIR project.  This session will present the key CDIF ‘modules’ which cover the most important functional areas for using data across domains: discovery\, integration\, controlled vocabularies and mappings\, provenance and process description\, temporal and spatial description\, etc.   \n\n\n\nBoth sessions will invite feedback and discuss activities to continuing this work beyond the lifetime of the EC funded project under the banner of WorldFAIR+

SUMMARY:The WorldFAIR Webinar Series: Guidelines and Recommendations from the Case Study on Population Health
DESCRIPTION:Register here\n\n\nTimes in UTC \n\n\n\nThis final webinar from the WorldFAIR case study on Population Health will present the final published report WorldFAIR Population health resource library and training package (D7.2).  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore about the Case Study on Population Health  \n\n\n\nThe Implementation Network for Sharing Population Information from Research Entities (INSPIRE) project is assembling technologies and standards in support of a data hub that facilitates federated and/or shared research capable of interoperating across often-neglected low-resource settings: it aims to provide a platform-as-a-service\, which can make data of disparate types available to many different styles of analysis\, among which AI systems are increasingly prominent. \n\n\n\nINSPIRE uses OMOP\, a common data model that is becoming the gold standard for systematically integrating health data from disparate sources and conducting observational research at scale using routine clinical care data. However\, OMOP is not completely FAIR29 and further work is needed to improve the ability to integrate diverse sources of data. \n\n\n\nThis case study team will improve the interoperation of OMOP with other standards to enable machine-actionable descriptions of data structure and provenance (e.g.\, DDI-CDI\, PROV-O\, SDTL); the composition of measurements focused on the objects of research (e.g.\, I-ADOPT); record linkage modeling for creating and evaluating bridges that connect domains\, vocabularies (e.g.\, SKOS); and data discovery (e.g.\, Schema.org\, DCAT). This suite of standards forms the basis of an ‘AI-Ready’ description of data suitable for use across domain and institutional boundaries.
