There was quite a bit of discussion of the #datacommunities idea ("an entity established to facilitate the collective activation of data subjects' data rights").

Data Communities - Ithaka S+R As organizations and initiatives designed to promote STEM data sharing multiply – within, across, and outside academic institutions – there is a pressing need to decide strategically on the best ways to move forward. Central to this decision is the issue of scale. Is data sharing best assessed and supported on an international or national scale? By broad academic sector (engineering, biomedical)? By discipline? On a university-by-university basis? Or using another unit of analysis altogether? To the extent that there are existing initiatives on each of these scales, how should they relate to one another? How do we design support for data sharing in order to align as closely as possible with the practices and interests of scholars, in order to maximize buy-in? In this issue brief, we build on our ongoing research into scholarly practices to propose a new mechanism for conceptualizing and supporting STEM research data sharing.

"Those who want to support data sharing in the sciences need to look for opportunities to grow data communities around scholars’ existing practices and interests.#datasharing #opendata #datacommunities
