Topics will include data volume reduction strategies that are implemented to meet user needs and continue to make data consumable over the web. Structured data citation policies are put in place to enable reproducible research and maintain a strong data provenance. A robust metadata database is maintained to support a range of data search and discoverability mechanisms, and secure and reliable data transfer is supported by Globus access capabilities integrated into the RDA portal. A discussion of future directions and strategies to adapt to emerging technologies will also be included. Show less
