Enabling Research Data Management at the Coalface
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010Liz Lyon, Director of UKOLN and Associate Director, DCC will be contributing to a session on The Challenge of Large Data: Dataset Citation, Curation, and Management at the Microsoft Research Faculty Summit 2010 to be held in Redmond, Washington, USA over 12-13 July 2010. The event will bring together more than 400 thought leaders from academia, government, and Microsoft to reflect on how current computing disciplines open new opportunities for research and development. Liz will be speaking on behalf of the UK Digital Curation Centre (DCC) which is providing advocacy, guidance and tools for research data management to the UK Higher Education community, as well as running a portfolio of R&D projects to understand data curation challenges at the coalface. Her presentation, entitled UK Digital Curation Centre: Enabling research data management at the coalface, will look at three DCC data exemplars:
- Data citation of complex predictive network models of disease;
- Crystallography data flows across institutional borders from laboratory to synchrotron; and
- Emerging Data Management Planning tools for institutions and faculty.
