RDA TIGER Cross-Fertilisation Webinar Series – Semantic Interoperability
27 November 2024 @ 9:30 am - 10:30 am
RDA TIGER is pleased to announce an upcoming series of webinars on cross-fertilisation and knowledge-sharing between RDA Working Groups across different domains. Each of the three webinars will be thematically focused, allowing WGs to share their work with peers and identify shared challenges and opportunities for further collaboration.
We’re inviting anyone with an interest in the specific activities of RDA Working Groups, in the topics and themes to be discussed, or in the planned outcomes of these Working Groups to join us for this series, where there will be an opportunity to ask about any aspects of the WGs’ activities.
Webinar #1 – Semantic Interoperability
The first of the series will take place on Wednesday 27th November at 09:30 UTC and will focus on the theme of ‘Semantic Interoperability’. Presenting at the webinar will be the co-chairs of the FAIR Mappings WG, the Alignment of Multilingual Vocabularies in the Social Sciences and Humanities WG, and the InteroperAble Descriptions of Observable Property Terminology (I-ADOPT) WG.
- The FAIR Mappings WG, which is in the final stages of RDA Council endorsement, will present its preliminary work so far, focusing on the various communities and the RDA WGs which have generated mappings, with the aim to converge toward common guidelines to make different types of mappings FAIR, and a common machine-readable/actionable set of representations of the mappings beyond the capabilities of the current existing specifications.
- The Alignment of Multilingual Vocabularies in the Social Sciences and Humanities WG, which has been endorsed by RDA Council and has recently started its regular meeting schedule, will present on how it intends to address challenges concerning the interoperability multilingual nature of SSH controlled vocabularies by providing collectively approved recommendations for creating, extending, updating, and aligning multilingual vocabularies in the SSH.
- The I-ADOPT WG is currently working to to embed the I-ADOPT framework in existing standards to demonstrate its capability in promoting interoperability, also seeking examples of the I-ADOPT framework in different scientific areas. The WG is planning a close collaboration with the FAIR Mappings WG in its planned activities, demonstrating the potential impact that collaboration within RDA can have.
Future instalments of the series will take place in December 2024 on the topics of (Meta)Data Standards and FAIR/CARE/TRUST Principles Adoption. Keep an eye on the RDA events page and our social media channels for updates on these.
