Subject: [CODATA-international] Stewarding ex-CASRAI Assets for the Future A joint statement from CODATA, euroCRIS and NISO
[https://codata.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/codata-eurocris-niso.png]<mailto:nisohq@niso.org>CODATA<http://codata.org>, euroCRIS<https://eurocris.org/>, and NISO<https://www.niso.org/> are pleased to confirm arrangements for the future of selected key resources from the former CASRAI organisation. CASRAI as an organisation has ceased to exist. Before the organisation was closed down, CODATA, euroCRIS, and NISO were each approached to steward selected CASRAI resources of value to the research data, research information and information standards communities.
We thank all the volunteers internationally who worked on CASRAI to make such important contributions to our fields, and are honoured to continue the stewardship and development of these valuable resources.
CODATA is taking responsibility for the CASRAI Research Data Management Glossary, which will now be known as the Research Data Management Terminology. The Research Data Management Terminology is intended as a practical reference for individuals and groups concerned with the practice and improvement of research data management. The Terminology is being actively reviewed and improved through a voluntary Working Group of experts from the global RDM community and will remain freely available for community use. For more information, see https://codata.org/initiatives/data-science-and-stewardship/rdm-terminology….
euroCRIS is taking over the management and curation of the CASRAI Catalogue of Elements. The catalogue is the result of a joint effort of business owners that semantically described elements related to research and education, and placed them in a relational context. The original CASRAI Catalogue of Elements will be managed in a Github repository and the content will be used to enrich the CERIF format<https://eurocris.org/services/main-features-cerif>, the Common European Research Information Format used for exchanging research information in a semantically interoperable manner, stored in research information systems. For more information see: https://eurocris.org/casrai-domain-handover.
NISO has taken over management of the CASRAI Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT)<https://www.niso.org/publications/z39104-2022-credit> and has published the terminology as a formal ANSI/NISO standard. The work to formalise CRediT was launched in 2020, focusing first on the initial fourteen contributor roles in the existing CRediT taxonomy. Now that the formal approval process has been completed and the official standard has been published<https://www.niso.org/press-releases/contributor-roles-taxonomy-credit-forma…>, a NISO CRediT Standing Committee will be set up to provide a forum for discussion and community feedback, support further implementations and use cases for CRediT, and to consider how CRediT can be further developed and expanded to support contributions in a wider range of subject areas. The taxonomy remains freely available for community use. For more information, please visit: http://credit.niso.org/
The CASRAI website continues to be available at https://casrai.org/, but will finally close on 23 June 2022. We look forward to welcoming colleagues to use and contribute to the Research Data Management Terminology, the Catalogue of Elements and the CRediT taxonomy at their new locations. The three organisations have agreed to collaborate to ensure good communication and any necessary alignment at the points where the three resources connect.
For more information, please contact the respective organisations for each resource.

Registration Open For Improving Global Agricultural Data Community Of Practice 2nd Annual Virtual Meeting From 22 March To 8 April 2022
After the success of the first Research Data Alliance (RDA) Improving Global Agricultural Data annual meeting in 2020, the IGAD co-chairs are thrilled to host the second annual meeting between March 22 and April 8, 2022. In place of an annual meeting in 2021, the IGAD Coffee Break webinar series worked to transition the Interest Group on Agricultural Data, to the new Improving Global Agricultural Data Community of Practice (CoP), which will provide better alignment with global practice, ability to impact stakeholders via improved data systems and practices, and mutual learning from exchanging experiences. It will also increase opportunities to form partnerships on specific projects.
There are individual registration links for each virtual session. Interested participants are encouraged to register for multiple days based on interests and needs.
Formed in 2013, the Interest Group on Agricultural Data has grown in community strength to over 200 members, becoming one of the RDA’s most prominent Thematic Groups. IGAD is a domain-oriented group working on all issues related to global agriculture data. It represents stakeholders in managing data for agricultural research and innovation, including producing, aggregating and consuming data. Beyond this, IGAD promotes good practices in research with regard to data sharing policies, data management plans, and data interoperability, and it is a forum for sharing experience and providing visibility to research and work in agricultural data. One of IGAD’s main roles is to serve as a platform that leads to the creation of domain-specific Working Groups.

Dear AgBioData community members,
We’d like to invite you to join the “2022 AgBioData Community Workshop:
Facilitating crosstalk and network building across working groups” on March
15–17 (7-9 AM Pacific Time).
Anyone who uses, generates, or manages agricultural biological data is
encouraged to attend. Hearing about the issues that you encounter when
searching for, accessing, and reusing data in your research is very
important for developing standards and best practices for FAIR data.
Even if you can’t make it all three days, we hope that you can participate.
As part of our NSF RCN grant <https://www.agbiodata.org/node/472>, we
currently have nine working groups (WGs) focusing on different aspects of
data sharing and management in agriculture (more information about the WGs
here <https://www.agbiodata.org/all-working-groups>). The goals of this
community workshop are:
-
providing a forum for the individual WGs to communicate what they are
working on;
-
gathering detailed, impactful community feedback on specific questions
that the WGs have about data curation, archiving, and management in
agriculture.
Each day will start with short presentations from selected working groups,
followed by breakout sessions, where WG and non-WG members can meet and
discuss relevant topics, and a brief reporting period at the end.
Register for our community workshop here
<https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYtduqqqjsrGdfRHdV8yKhUNHUQBbAeLI…>and

Hi everybody,
It's that time of the month to advertise our monthly webinar!
We will have our first webinar of the year this Wed, February 2nd, with *Baron
Koylass* and *Timothee Cezard* from EMBL-EBI. They are going to talk about
the European Variation Archive, a primary open repository for archiving and
accessioning genetic variation.
Below you can find more details about the webinar and the *NEW zoom link*

Presenters: Dr. Baron Koylass and Dr. Timothe Cezard, EVA/EGA Team,
European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI)
<https://www.ebi.ac.uk/about/teams/ega-eva-archive/>
Host: Marcela Karey Tello-Ruiz
Abstract:
*The European Variation Archive: Genetic variation archiving and
accessioning*
The European Variation Archive (EVA) is a primary open repository for
archiving, accessioning, and distributing genetic variation, including
single nucleotide variants, short insertions and deletions (indels), and
larger structural variants (SVs) in any species. Created in 2014 to provide
FAIR access to genetic variation data, it has since grown to be a primary
resource for genomic variants hosting >3 billion records and now maintains
and provides the permanent variant locus identifiers (rs IDs) for all
non-human species.

Dear AgBioData community members,
A major goal of the Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI<https://ag2pi.org/>) is to bring together agricultural scientists from multiple disciplines to work together in addressing shared challenges in genome-to-phenome research and related endeavors. As such, we provide a seed grant program to foster first steps towards the development of community solutions to research needs and opportunities, as well as gaps in physical infrastructure and the data management pipeline.
This third round of the AG2PI seed grant program aims to fund around twelve (12) awards across three levels of support: Emerging (funds up to $50,000), Enabling (up to $75,000), and Establishing (up to $100,000). Applications will be due by 11:59pm CST (UTC-6) on Tuesday, March 8th. The anticipated start date for funded projects is June 1, 2022 and each project may be 6-12 months in duration. Further details regarding the request for proposals, application and review process can be found at the AG2PI website (https://www.ag2pi.org/seed-grants/2022-01-05/).
AG2PI will host a Seed Grant Mini-Conference on January 19 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (CST, UTC-6). This conference will provide an overview of our revised seed grant mechanism and review process, examples of projects that have been funded in previous rounds and will provide an opportunity to ask questions regarding the seed grants. We are excited to also feature a short session on best practices of team science. The conference will finish with a "teaming" event, which will provide a virtual space to discuss your seed grant idea with like-minded researchers with whom you may want to work. Registration is now open (https://www.ag2pi.org/workshops-and-activities/conference-2022-01-19/) and additional details will be available on that webpage soon.
Feel free to share this message and opportunity with colleagues at your institution. If you have any questions regarding the mini-conference or seed grants, please direct them to Nicole Scott at nmscott(a)iastate.edu<mailto:nmscott@iastate.edu>.
