As part of the Education And Training On Handling Of Research Data IG (ETHRD-IG) activities, the Learning Resource Collectors Focus Group studied the evolving landscape of learning resources on RDM topics. As we collected and listed a snapshot of current catalogues or registries of learning resources for review, we realized that a set of core characteristics could describe these types of organisations that would be useful to help people evaluate and understand the resources they offer. In addition, the identification of core characteristics could help the organisations themselves consider some of the factors that might help them build, structure, and sustain their collections and the services they offer in support of researchers and data specialists seeking learning resources on RDM and data skills topics. This document also supports the work of another ETHRD-IG focus group that recommends a set of minimal metadata elements for learning resources.
