Abstract
In this BoF we will provide a forum for those adopting, thinking of adopting or curious about Research Object Crate (RO-Crate). RO-Crate is a specification for packaging and distributing data using linked data that is now being used in a variety of research contexts both in STEM and HASS domains. We will start with a very short introduction to the RO-crate standard and follow with lightning talks focused on its adoption in Australia, including in the HASS and Indigenous Research Data commons and Australian BioCommons, followed by an open Q&A session (with prepared questions to get the discussion started).
