📢 New in DORA’s Resource Library: Typology of Data Uses, a @force11.bsky.social framework for describing how data are accessed, used, and applied across research and beyond. Move beyond downloads & citations to capture richer evidence of data impact. Learn more 👉 sfdora.org/resource/typedatausef11

DORA resource card titled “Typology of Data Uses.” The card explains that the framework helps repositories, funders, publishers, and researchers better capture diverse forms of data contribution and reuse, identify patterns and emerging needs in data use, and strengthen evidence for infrastructure investment and policy development. It notes that the resource was created by the FORCE11 Data Usage Typologies Working Group and can be adapted across disciplines and organizational contexts.
