Please save the date for our upcoming DataONE Users Group (DUG) meeting
to be held July 17th-18th, 2016 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. As in
previous years, we will be co-locating with the ESIP Summer Meeting.
There is no cost to register.
Meeting Theme and ObjectivesThe
2016 meeting theme, “Expanding Data Networks,” will focus on the new
challenges and efforts in making data accessible, discoverable, and
deliverable while promoting open data policies, standards, and
compliance with funders’ emerging data management requirements. A strong
emphasis is on data synthesis and technological progress made in data
network infrastructure.
In a departure from previous years, the
scientific program of the 2016 meeting invites both talks and posters
from the community on the following topics:
- Leveraging research data level metrics for large data repositories and data networks
- Integrating the needs and inputs of data users to advance and improve data discoverability
- Assessing the progress, impact, and success in promoting open data policies
