The SHARE initiative, led by Judy Ruttenberg and Jeff Spies, aims to create an open data set cataloging research activities across their life cycle, making it accessible and reusable for various stakeholders including researchers, universities, and funders. Key focus areas include improving metadata consistency, addressing the rights of providers, and promoting data-sharing policies while leveraging modular and scalable technology. Opportunities for participation exist in enhancing infrastructure and workflows to support effective data sharing.

2. Founded by Academic Leaders, Built
with Open Technology
Research universities are long-lived and are mission-driven to
generate, make accessible, and preserve over time new
knowledge and understanding.

3. What is SHARE?
SHARE is creating an open data set about
research activities across their life cycle. This
comprehensive inventory of research will be
widely accessible, discoverable, and reusable.

4. Stakeholders/beneficiaries
● Researchers
● Higher ed administration
● Libraries
● Repositories
● Research funders

21. What we’ve learned
● Metadata is used inconsistently across the
research ecosystem
● Providers are unsure of their rights to share
metadata
● Solutions will involve improvements to
workflow, policy, and technical infrastructure

22. Where we’re going
● Analyze stakeholders’ current processes
through which research passes from
conception to completion
● Promote and reward policies that encourage
data sharing
● Deploy multiple strategies to enhance
metadata in open data set
