CASRAI works on behalf of the research administration industry. Our mission is threefold:
-
To allow researchers to maintain one copy of their data and to reuse it reliably everywhere
-
To make data sharing possible without dependence on specific software, platforms, or systems
-
To remove the risk and cost to members of building and maintaining multiple interchange mechanisms on an ad-hoc basis
CASRAI operates in an environment of openness, transparency, and fair representation. It ensures the following for effective standards development:
-
Balanced Working Groups of subject matter experts
-
A consensus building process
-
Outcomes of deliberations subject to public scrutiny
-
Consistency with or incorporation of existing international standards
