The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is a research community organization started in 2013 by the European Commission, the United States Government's National Science Foundation and National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Australian Government’s Department of Innovation. Its goal is to build social and technical infrastructure to enable the open sharing of data.[1]. The RDA is a major recipient of support in the form of grants from all of its constituent members' governments[2][3].
Currently, March 2016, the RDA has close to 4,000 individual members from over 100 countries[1].
The RDA provides national data sharing organisations, such as the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) an "influence over the kinds of data sharing environments that Australian researchers will work with when they collaborate with international colleagues" [4] . The RDA is partnered with many major international data initiatives such as DataCite [5] and frequently forms joint working groups with them, such as with the World Data System[6] .
In addition to numerous interest and working group meetings, the RDA organises two major 'plenary' conferences a year that are often co-located within other international data sharing initiatives such as the 8th RDA plenary being part of "International Data Week, 2016" convened by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA)[7]. RDA aims to spread the plenary meetings across many of it's members' locals with recent plenaries being held in Tokyo, Paris, San Diego, Amsterdam, dublin, Washington DC and Gothenberg, Sweden[8]. Future plenaries may be located in developing nations.
