 Research Data Australia:

RIF-CS Advisory Board

The RIF-CS Advisory Board (RAB) was established to provide an opportunity for interested stakeholders to influence changes to the RIF-CS schema.

Community expertise is vital to the development and improvement of this shared standard, which is used to exchange metadata about research collections and related information between ANDS and its contributing partners. Changes need to balance the value of enriching the metadata available in the Australian Research Data Commons with the cost and rework imposed on data providers by schema changes, and to ensure continued congruence with the ISO 2146 standard.

RIF-CS Schema changes which are endorsed by the RIF-CS Advisory Board go through the ANDS Change Management Process.

ANDS will call for nominations for Board membership on an annual basis.  Here is the list of the current RIF-CS Advisory Board members.
