*Announcing a new transdisciplinary Glossary for research data management*



Research Data Canada (RDC) in partnership with the international Consortia
Advancing Standards in Research Administration Information (CASRAI) is
pleased to announce the launch of a PILOT for a new interactive Glossary
containing 500+ draft terms and definitions to support work in the field of
research data management. The glossary is publicly available under a
Creative Commons Attribution Only license (CC-BY) at

http://dictionary.casrai.org/Category:Research_Data_Domain



The Glossary is meant to be a practical reference for individuals and
working groups concerned with the improvement of research data management,
and as a meeting place for further discussion and development of terms.
Each term has a unique identifier and a URL that can be used as a tool to
enhance reading comprehension of documents by hyperlinking terms to their
definition. The aim is to create a stable and sustainably governed glossary
of community accepted terms and definitions, and to keep it relevant by
maintaining it as a ‘living document’ that is updated when necessary. The
URL for each term contains a link to a discussion page to complete the
feedback loop with the community of users. The glossary is developed and
maintained by RDC's Standards & Interoperability Committee (RDC-SINC) in
collaboration with CASRAI.
