The FAIRsharing Registry and Recommendations: Interlinking Standards, Databases and Data Policies

«On 8 October 2018, the RDA BioSharing Registry: connecting data policies, standards & databases in life sciences Working Group was renamed to the FAIRSharing Registry: connecting data policies, standards & databases RDA Working Group. This change was approved by RDA Council following interaction with RDA Technical Advisory Board and the Working Group Co-chairs. The group name change reflects the broader constituency and potential user base of the working group recommendation, which goes beyond the biosciences community. A second, extended Request for Comments on the Working Group recommendation is open from 10 October – 10 December 2018 in order to ensure that the community at large, not just the Biosciences communities, has a chance to provide feedback and comments.
