Optimising cohort data in Europe

in related scientific and technical domains in order to identify synergies and assets usable for metadata standardisation in the context cross-cohort research. The action point would be to evaluate differences in standards and to create catalogue harmonisation to create a single metadata taxonomy that would permit catalogue integration. 4. Transferofmetadatataxonomy (variable labels) to individual studies tocreatecommon data-level variable naming conventions and improve conditions for immediate data use in consortia and preparation of data archiving/sharing. Metadata cataloguing of cohort studies has progressed rapidly over the last 5+ years and many EU and international studies have completed metadata cataloguing of their codebooks, with additional studies being added currently. An important next step is to move the metadata standards back to the original studies- providing the map for idiosyncratic naming conventions to the common variable labelling (metadata standard). This seems like a tractable next step towards Findable, Accessible, Interopable, Reusable (FAIR) data principles closing the gap between metadata catalogues and mappable access to individual datasets. It would increase opportunities and efficiency for multi-study data sharing and analysis at the study-level, and will permit consortia to immediately move to analysis rather than spend years of effort in evaluating harmonisability, etc. 5. A comprehensive overview of metadata/codebooks will help to guide selection of tests/assessments in future research. The evaluation of harmonisation potential and harmonisation procedures/results, as well as identification of available variables in particular studies, are essential for guiding the design and measurement protocol for new cohort studies. The use of “best” measures and/or those used in studies, which can then be compared in future work are further outcomes of accessible data of this type. 6. Fostering the use of existing respectively, emerging European federated data infrastructures for storing and managing cohort data. To develop standard measurements for data-sharing activities and the impact of such activities. In order to achieve this aim, we need to consistently determine the content of data-sharing activities, their domain of application and implementation, as well as the actors involved. 5.2.2. Pillar II: Guidance - Initial Strategic Tasks According to our analysis (cf. Section 3), these strategic tasks aim to convert intangible resources into specialised tangible ones. The tasks in Pillar II should consist in: 1. Elaborating, organising and implementing the personnel, organisational and technical structures and means for the sustainable periodic review, adjustments and update of the strategic tasks related to pillar II, Guidance. In this context, it is necessary to include the details of a sound, sustainable budgetary basis related to Pillar II.
