The document discusses Casrai, an initiative focused on standardizing administrative data from research. It notes that currently, administrative data about projects, funders, and outputs is siloed across different databases. This makes it difficult for researchers and institutions to connect, share information, and measure processes. Casrai aims to address this by creating an open standard for the contents of administrative data forms and APIs. This would make data sharing easier across institutions and nations. The benefits include reduced costs, better data practices through reuse of common models, and improved international exposure for researchers. Institutions and individuals are invited to join Casrai and help develop this standard.
