I have included below more details about the webinar and the Zoom link to attend the webinar.

This conversation explores strategies for enhancing open sharing and reuse of agricultural data through collaboration between disciplinary and generalist repositories, specifically Dryad, an open data publishing platform and community. Generalist and specialist repositories bring distinct strengths to data sharing and reuse. Generalist repositories offer a home for a wide range of data types and support serendipitous discovery, while discipline-specific repositories offer granular metadata, specialized tools, and deep understanding of community needs. Agricultural data creators, and future data re-users, can benefit from collaboration between these different solutions, including building connections with complementary datasets stored in multiple repositories; consistency in metadata standards; and federated discovery systems. In this conversation, Dryad’s Head of Community Engagement, Sarah Lippincott, will describe Dryad’s stewardship of agricultural data and engage attendees in an exploration of how Dryad’s can work with the agricultural research community to improve data sharing, discovery, and reuse.
