[okfn-discuss] Data governance - any recommendations to research funders?

Fri Nov 25 15:36:44 UTC 2011

Dear all,

I am planning to attend a workshop on data governance on Dec 14-15
that is meant to provide research funders like the Office of
Cyberinfrastructure (OCI;
http://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=OCI ) of the NSF with
recommendations as to how to handle issues around data sharing - how
to encourage it and how to help ease any problems occurring on the
way.

Special attention will be paid to large-scale data sharing, to issues
of how to license, cite, reuse, combine and annotate data, how to
ensure permanence, and how to evolve policies in this area.

Since many of you on these lists are thinking about such issues,
please share your thoughts, so that we can inject them into that
discussion. I am collecting my notes at
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:OpenScientist/DataONE_Workshop_on_Data_Governance_2011
, which anyone can edit with their Wikipedia account or under their IP
(no login required).

Thanks and cheers,

Daniel
