[Apologies for multiple postings] Registration rates go up this Friday, 2/26/2010. Research Data Access and Preservation http://www.asis.org/Conferences/IA10/ResearchDataAccessSummit2010.html Phoenix, AZ | Hyatt Regency | April 9-10, 2010 In cooperation with the Coalition for Networked Information Research Data Access and Preservation Researchers in all fields generate and analyze enormous quantities of digital data. In fields ranging throughout the sciences and humanities, managing, preserving, and sharing these data require substantial capital and human resources and new kinds of information professionals who are able to integrate technology, content, and policy skills. This summit aims to bring together leaders in data centers, laboratories, and libraries in different organizational and disciplinary settings to share ideas and techniques for managing, preserving, and sharing large-scale research data repositories with an eye toward achieving infrastructure-independent access and stewardship. The summit will engage three kinds of leaders: those from projects with experience in integrating high-performance technologies; those from large scale collaboratories in science, social science, and the humanities; and those from institutions coping with the challenges of integrating different technologies and data collections.
