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.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Walter Stewart, Coordinator</span></b></p><span><img class="CToWUd" src="cid:image001.png@01D0D8B8.D1B13CA0" alt="logo-light-big (2)" height="78" border="0" width="255"></span><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Mary Vardigan<br>Assistant Director, Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR)<br>P.O.
