What challenges did the WG face? What were the aims?
To develop a curated registry (running since 2011), to access and cross-search this information, such that a variety of stakeholders can make decisions on which standards and databases to use or endorse

A web-based, curated and searchable portal that monitors the development and evolution of standards, their use in databases and the adoption of both in data
policies, to inform and educate the user community.

What are the ramifications of not having the problem resolved?
Standards are reinventedDatabases use the wrong standards
Data policies fail to endorse appropriate resourcesIncreasingly, data is lost as it is not • Findable• Accessible• Interoperable• Reusable
