[community] AMS IIPS-Data Stewardship session-2011, Seattle, Washington
Data Stewardship Session at the 27th IIPS Conference at the 91st AMS
Meeting
Background:
The ad hoc Committee on Data Stewardship was established by the AMS at
its 89th annual meeting in Phoenix, AZ. Since then, the Committee has
developed a Prospectus guiding our work that can be found at
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/mohan/Data%20Stewardship%20Prospectus.pdf;
as well as holding a Town Hall meeting at the 90th AMS meeting in
Atlanta, GA see http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/mohan/Data Stewardship
Town Hall Final.ppt At this point, we have now progressed to
partnering with the AMS IIPS Committee and will hold a one-day session
on Data Stewardship during the 27th IIPS Conference to be held at the
91st AMS Meeting slated to be held in Seattle, WA from January 23-27,
2011. In particular we are soliciting papers in the following 5
thematic areas: (1) the role of data centers and institutional
repositories; (2) data citation; (3) enabling data discovery; (4)
enabling data standards and interoperability; and (5) data curation.
This e-mail is addressed to those persons who we believe may either be
interested in making a presentation at that session or who might know of
someone who would. The purpose of this e-mail is to remind you that if
you plan to make a presentation at the 2011 AMS IIPS Data Stewardship
session which will be held on Tuesday January 25, 2011, and the deadline
for submission of abstracts is August 2, 2010.
