CRDSA’s Technology and Innovation Work Group has developed a data-sharing technology assessment framework to support stakeholders in their evaluation of technologies and approaches that advance their data-sharing initiatives, whether they are interested in technologies for external data sharing or support an organization’s internal data reuse. The framework is designed to assist stakeholders in determining the requirements and use cases important to their organization. The resulting assessment scores can be used to compare how well different technology approaches or project scopes meet organizational objectives.
