Draft proposal, until agreed on and joined by members from at least three Samvera Partners.
Scope & Objectives
The Samvera Research Data Working Group will spend the next three months to conduct an environmental scan of Research Data Repositories that utilize Samvera applications, determine why stakeholders choose the application, what they like/don't like about the application, what existing features are helpful for research data repositories, what features are lacking, determine future use cases, and determine needs of the community regarding research data.
Working group members will determine the frequency of scheduling after the initial meeting.
