Call for Working Group and Review Circle Members: Standard Glossary for Research Data Management (IRIDIUM)

CODATA invites participants for a Working Group and a broader set of reviewers to advance a new international glossary of research data management terms and definitions. Dubbed the IRIDIUM (International Research Data Management) Glossary, this is an evolving partnership initiative growing out of a pilot project last year. You can review the current glossary at http://dictionary.casrai.org/Category:Research_Data_Domain (it is currently branded as a ‘dictionary’ but will be rebranded, post-pilot, as a ‘glossary’).

This work is a partnership between CODATA, CASRAI http://www.casrai.org/, and Research Data Canada https://www.rdc-drc.ca/. It is intended that other partners and national services will be added in the near future.

Please consider the issues statement, CASRAI Annual Process and the Tasks of the 2017 IRIDIUM WG Described below.

The deadline to complete the form is 23.59 Eastern on Monday 21 November.
