At the same time, society confronts grand challenges, such as environmental pollution, climate change and public health issues. Solution of these problems is by nature international, requiring large and dynamic networks. Efficient cooperation depends on effective sharing of data. To achieve shareability and reusability, data must be findable, accessible, combinable and interpretable in various contexts.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Unfortunately, the idea and practices of data sharing are not always appreciated in research organizations. Every project defines its own strategies without thinking interoperability in wider context. Poorly documented data formats, missing metadata and obsolete software hinder or prevent retrieval and reuse of data. The concept of <em>data entropy <\/em>is used to describe this situation<em>. <\/em>The data becomes useless little by little and finally it is impossible to extract knowledge from the data.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In addition to technological questions, there are also societal and cultural issues in collaboration. Gateways are not hardware or software alone, they are more like technical solutions with a social choice. According to anthropologist Anna Tsing, \u201cactual existing universalisms are hybrid, transient and involved in constant reformulation through dialogue\u201d (1). There is usually a kind of friction between the parties. The collaborators might not have common goals at all, but it is important to reconcile the local with the global. The concept \u201cglocal\u201d may help in understanding both global and local needs. To work out through friction, a \u201cneutral place\u201d is needed.&nbsp;System theory can also&nbsp;provide tools for addressing collaboration problems. Well-known Ashby\u2019s Law of Requisite Variety states that \u201conly variety absorbs variety\u201d (2).<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Research Data Alliance (RDA) is an initiative founded in 2013 to support data sharing activities. The founders of RDA include European Commission, the US National Science Foundation and the Australian Government\u2019s Department of Innovation. The RDA vision (3) states that researchers and innovators openly share data across technologies, disciplines and countries to address the grand challenges of society. RDA builds the social and technical bridges and infrastructure that enable open sharing of data. Infrastructure in this sense is relations, interactions and connections between people, technologies and institutions. It is a process of consolidation characterized by gateways that allow dissimilar systems to be linked into networks (4). The RDA doesn\u2019t do \u201carchitecture\u201d, but it provides a level of unity, fostering relationships, interfaces, and connections.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The RDA is \u201cbottom-up\u201d organization, playing locally and globally. Participation in the RDA is open to anyone who agrees to the RDA principles (7):<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Openness<br \/><\/strong> Membership is open to all interested individuals who subscribe to the RDA\u2019s guiding principles. RDA community meetings and processes are open, and the deliverables of RDA Working Groups will be publicly disseminated.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Consensus<br \/><\/strong>The RDA moves forward by achieving consensus among its membership. RDA processes and procedures include appropriate mechanisms to resolve conflicts.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Balance<br \/><\/strong>The RDA seeks to promote balanced representation of its membership and stakeholder communities.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Harmonization<br \/><\/strong>The RDA works to achieve harmonization across data standards, policies, technologies, infrastructure, and communities.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Community Driven<br \/><\/strong>The RDA is a public, community-driven body constituted of volunteer members and organizations, supported by the RDA Secretariat.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Non-profit<br \/><\/strong>The RDA does not promote, endorse, or sell commercial products, technologies, or services.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The RDA Council is responsible for RDA strategy and leadership, including mission, vision and sustainability. The Technical Advisory Board (TAB) is responsible for technical roadmap, the Secretariat takes care of administration and operations, and the Organizational Advisory Board (OAG) is responsible for process and strategic advice (6).<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Persons supporting RDA principles may join RDA as individual members. Organizations can join as Organizational Members paying a nominal fee, or as Organizational Affiliates to support jointly sponsored efforts. It is also possible to initiate or join an <em>Interest Group<\/em> or propose or join a <em>Working Group<\/em> (5). These groups are formed of experts from around the world, from academia, industry and government. At present there are about 2500 members from 92 countries (3). RDA also organizes Plenary Meetings every six months in different places around the world.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What can libraries do regarding research data management and sharing? Libraries are certainly familiar with many aspects related to research data, at least in conceptual level. Libraries create and manage standardized metadata on daily basis, in order to build databases for national and international use. Libraries are also well versed in user guidance and instruction. The issue at stake is how to apply all this knowledge to research data domain (8). To begin with, libraries have to learn about research data management. It is necessary to encourage library staff and offer opportunities to develop new professional skills. Expertise is reshaped by joining existing training programmes for <em>data librarians<\/em> or by initiating new programmes. New expertise can be recruited, but this is difficult in today\u2019s economic situation. It is also necessary to initiate collaborative projects with researchers. Libraries cannot do anything alone. For example, participating in relevant RDA Working Groups and Interest Groups (5) offer opportunities to build relationships. Mutual understanding of library\u2019s role and setting realizable goals helps to overcome the friction.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">References<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><bdo lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tsing AL.
