We are pleased to announce that the ITO, through our work with the Research Data Alliance Global Open Research Commons International Model Working Group (RDA GORC-WG<\/a>), will be participating in three events at the upcoming 20th RDA Plenary Meeting<\/a> to be hosted in Gothenburg, Sweden in March 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We have been working with international partners, RDA<\/a>, and EOSC Future<\/a> to create the \u201cBuilding blocks of Global Research Commons: Europe and beyond<\/a>\u201d co-located half-day event on Monday, March 20, 2023. This event will open with presentations and discussions on the current implementations and challenges of research commons globally, including an overview of the progress and findings of the GORC-WG by ITO Director Dr. Karen Payne. Representatives from research commons will then discuss solutions to these issues through presentations and panel discussions, and how the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) will rise to the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GORC-IG Typology of Research Commons Essential Elements. These Essential Elements are the foundation for the GORC-WG investigation into research commons benchmarks for interoperability. The three elements in blue are the underpinning digital elements that constitute the parts of the commons with which people interact. The five elements in white are the social\/human elements that are needed to make the commons succeed. The central element in dark blue represents that way in which standards are at the core of a commons<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Next on the agenda will be the GORC-WG working meeting<\/a> tentatively<\/s> scheduled for the afternoon of Thursday, March 23, 2023<\/s> Tuesday, March 21, 2023. In this meeting, the GORC-WG will propose a preliminary first version of our main final output. This preliminary first version will be a list of attributes, features, and KPIs that are desirable for research commons to have or aim for to be interoperable on a global scale and included in the desired global open research commons. This session will also include a case-study presentation and discussion of the application of the GORC Interest Group\u2019s (GORC-IG<\/a>) typology of research commons essential elements to the EOSC Finnish Forum and Nordic implementations of research commons, presented by members of the GORC-IG. More information on this session will be<\/s> is available on the preliminary programme<\/s> final programme<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we are hosting a full-day hybrid GORC-WG workshop<\/a> facilitated by RDA-TIGER<\/a> on Friday March 24, 2023. The \u201cGORC International Model WG: Model Synthesis Workshop\u201d will provide GORC-WG members dedicated face-to-face working time to finalize our preliminary first version output, discuss challenges and issues that arose during the evaluation process, and prepare for creating official outputs and supporting documentation over the next six months before the November 2023 deadline. More information on this co-located event can be found on the co-located events draft program<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be a busy week at RDA20, and we look forward to seeing you there in person or online. If you are an undergraduate student, graduate student, or postdoctoral fellow enrolled at a Canadian university or college, consider applying for our Student Travel Support Fund<\/a> to enable your direct participation in RDA20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
