The Global Open Research Commons International Model: A path towards greater interoperability for digital research infrastructures
April 21, 2026 @ 11:00 – 12:00 CEST
The Global Open Research Commons (GORC) International Model (starting with its Essential Elements) has been in development since 2016 within Research Data Alliance Interest and Working Groups. It is now a mature way to guide implementation decisions, a framework for new commons implementers, and a shared language for interoperability discussions. This talk will provide an overview of the GORC approach, its current uptake, and its future plans. It should be of interest to anyone concerned with interoperability within and between DRI.
Presenter: Andrew Treloar (PhD), DRI Consultant
More Information
This event is part of the SciLifeLab Open Science seminar series, an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Data Management team.
The goal of the events in this seminar series is to provide interesting interactive seminars around topics related to Research Data Management and Open Science in general, and to foster discussions around best practices.
Research Data Management (RDM) concerns the organization, storage, preservation, and sharing of data that is collected and analyzed during a research project. Proper planning and management of research data will make project management easier and more efficient while projects are being performed. It also facilitates sharing and allows others to validate as well as reuse the data.
Open Science is a set of principles and practices that aim to make scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone for the benefits of scientists and society as a whole. Open science is about making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive, equitable and sustainable.
The events are open to everyone working at or affiliated with a Swedish research institute or university. We welcome all researchers, educational professionals, staff, RDM professionals, and others with an interest in life sciences, from all university levels. The events are informal and inclusive, so feel welcome to join and participate in our interesting discussions!
The events will be recorded and published openly after the seminars on the SciLifeLab YouTube channel. The slides will be made available at our SciLifeLab Data Repository.
