peter.suber's bookmarks 2026-04-17
Summary:
"Drawing on a breadth of experience across academic research institutions, hospital systems, and both institutional and generalist data repositories from the US and Canada, the working group spent a year researching, convening, writing, and editing to create a report to support research data professionals in making data more accessible. After drafting an initial version of the report, the working group sent out the document for feedback from a selection of reviewers with expertise and lived experience in accessibility. A mostly-done draft version is now available, and after one more round of edits a final version will be released later in the spring.The working group hopes it will be of use to research data professionals interested in learning about the new rulings, the accessibility of research data repositories and research datasets, or, more broadly, to those interested in digital accessibility in general."
