Description
In response to the global movement to implement national and cross-national or global
commons, a Research Data Alliance (RDA) Interest Group was formed to work towards a communitydeveloped
typology for describing research commons. This Interest Group created a Working Group
to develop an International Model describing the attributes of Global Open Research Commons. The
RDA Global Open Research Commons (GORC) International Model (IM) v. 1.0 is presented here as a
spreadsheet. The accompanying report is a narrative document that provides background
information about the initiative, describes its intent and intended audience, the method used to
create it, and its structure and content. It also provides brief descriptions of communities and
activities that have proposed to, or are currently, utilising the model in different contexts, as well as
next steps for work in this area. It is important to recognise that the model is aspirational in nature
and not prescriptive, drawing on existing good practice and promoting inclusive approaches.
The GORC IM Working Group (WG) consolidated a large range of resources and expert feedback to
generate the model, which consists of a number of elements, with associated categories,
subcategories, attributes and features, to be considered when undertaking the development of a
commons of any kind, at any stage. Although the categories, subcategories, attributes and features
are marked as core, desirable or optional, the model does not mandate what should be implemented,
or in what way; the decisions on what is relevant, and where resources should be invested will vary
depending on the environment and priorities of the implementer. The model is already being used in
several contexts that are adapting and testing the model in real world situations. In some cases, the
work is being used in the development of commons, while in other cases it is being utilised in other
research infrastructure projects.
