About Us
RsDA is a network for collaboration rather than presentation of papers. Since Southeast and East Asian countries have large diversity in many aspects -language, culture, higher education systems, industrialization levels and so forth, the organizers are planning to collect information about local needs and seeds for digital archiving and preservation and to discuss ideas to develop a network to promote collaboration in the region. We would like to discuss a collaboration plan which allows loosely connected network of participating institutions.
This workshop series was started under the title "Academic Asset Preservation and Sharing in Southeast Asia" to foster longevity of digital data created by scholars and/or for scholarly purposes. At the workshop in 2018 at UiTM in Malaysia, we agreed to name this activity "RsDA". This acronym is close to RDA (Research Data Alliance), which is a global alliance of institutions and organizations for building the social and technical infrastructure to enable open sharing and re-use of data. The s in RsDA stands for small, sustainable and scholarly; the A stands for not only Alliance but also Asia.
