Short introduction describing the activities and the scope of the group

The objective of this IG is to provide a forum where representatives from across the spectrum of stakeholders and roles pertaining to data search can work together to identify, study and make recommendations concerning issues related to improving data discovery. The goal is to produce concrete deliverables that will be recognized and valued by the research community.

This IG identified 4 topics that were the focus of the group’s initial efforts: 
* Best practices for making data findable
* Relevancy ranking
* Use cases, prototyping tools and test collections
* Metadata enrichment

Task forces formed around the first 3 topics started after RDA P8, while the last task force, Metadata Enrichment, began work after RDA P9. All task forces actively explored their topics and reported progress as well as preliminary outputs at RDA P10. At P11, three task forces were officially closed, and a discussion on new Task Forces took place, focusing primarily on Schema.org and Granularity.

At RDA P12, the progress on the Metadata Task Force will be shown and further discussed. Moreover, the two potential new Task Forces, i.e. Schema.org and Granularity, will be at the forefront of the discussion, aiming to identifying the immediate short-term goals and practical tasks.

Please join us (in person, or remotely) if you are interested in any of these topics. 
If you are interested in helping to lead any of these task forces, or have other ideas for TFs to start, please contact the IG Chairs.
