FAIRsharing – A curated resource on data and metadata standards, interrelated to databases and data policies. Oct 04, 2023 at 10 WAT – 11am CAT – 12pm EAT (12pm GMT+3) As part of a webinar series on Open Science for the discoverability of African research. AfricArXiv is a community-led digital archive for African research communication. By enhancing the visibility of African research, we enable discoverability and collaboration opportunities for African scientists on the continent as well as globally. ORCID is the persistent identifier for researchers to share their accomplishments (research articles, data, etc with funding agencies, publishers, data repositories, and other research workflows. Today we welcome Allyson Lister as our speaker. Allyson is the FAIRsharing Content & Community Lead at the University of Oxford. With a background in data standardisation, ontologies, semantic data and integration, she is responsible for FAIRsharing content, as well as for the collaborations with users and outreach across all research domains. Allyson is also an EOSC Future / RDA Domain Ambassador (for standards, databases and policies), and is a co-chair of two RDA working groups. FAIRsharing is a curated, informative and educational resource on data and metadata standards, inter-related to databases and data policies, across all disciplines. We will hear what documentation FAIRsharing holds for African research standards, databases and more.
