[CODATA-international] Recordings and presentation are live now: GOSC DataIO Webinar on the emerging Core Interoperability Framework, 31 March

[Asha CODATA]

The GOSC (Global Open Science Cloud initiative)
<https://codata.org/initiatives/decadal-programme2/global-open-science-cloud/>
and
other activities in the ISC CODATA Decadal Programme ‘Making Data Work for
Cross-Domain Grand Challenges’
<https://codata.org/initiatives/decadal-programme2/>, are addressing topics
around large-scale data interoperability across domain and institutional
boundaries. This presentation covers some important activities under the
Decadal Programme in this regard, with the idea that they might also prove
useful for consideration within a GOSC frame. Development efforts toward a
Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework are central to many of these
activities.

The Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework (CDIF) is an emerging idea for
a set of guidelines around domain-agnostic standards for supporting the
implementation of interoperability and reusability of FAIR data, especially
across domain- and institutional boundaries. The FAIR Digital Object
Framework (FDOF) proposes a protocol to enable applications to find data
and metadata objects of interest, and to locate their metadata schemas such
that the data can be acted upon. As such, the FDOF could provide an
important basis for machine actionability, but it does not by itself
guarantee interoperability. The Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework
would provide a list of standards in a range of functional roles to support
the next level of interoperability, but giving domains the “lingua franca”
against which to map domain-specific standards and ontologies. Such
standards as Schema.org <http://schema.org/>, DCAT, SKOS, PROV-O, DDI-CDI,
and I-ADOPT are being suggested. The functional roles include the
description of units and measurements, the relation of variables to
concepts and consistent descriptions of data structure.  The work around
the Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework is based on practical
use-cases, and has been slowly growing out of various activities conducted
under CODATA’s Decadal Programme. It is still in early stages, but reflects
an emerging consensus among many of the participants in this endeavour.

This event was intended for GOSC Data Interoperability Working Group
<https://codata.org/initiatives/decadal-programme2/global-open-science-cloud/working-groups/data-interoperability/>,
the GOSC initiative more broadly, and any other interested parties. The
main presenter, Arofan Gregory, in-house consultant with CODATA, outlined
the current thinking about the Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework, and
described how it will be further explored in the WorldFAIR project and
through other case studies.  Time was given to extensive discussion in
order to gather feedback and identify areas for collaboration and further
work.

The event was run twice to maximise the possibility of attendance at times
that may be convenient for different timezones.
