The Dublin Core Data Institute (DCDI): An International Conference
October 19 All day
Data now drives advanced research and scholarship across diverse fields. Many humanities and social science disciplines are increasingly dependent on data. Scholarly practices in the latter disciplines generate new data as evidence or as demonstration of new creative practices or methods. With intensive focus on mitigating fraud in research and push for wider dissemination of research, publication venues have instituted new policies for sharing research or scholarly data. Given the criticality of data for nurturing and sustaining humanities and social science disciplines it is paramount that open data environments are available with minimum barriers for scholars to access and use. Although many data related topics and associated techniques and solutions are beginning to receive attention, the efforts on data aggregation and dissemination so far have been scattered and sometimes inconsistent. Surprisingly, there has not been a single and comprehensive international forum dedicated to developing open data resources for humanities and social science scholarship.
The planned Dublin Core Data Institute (DCDI), which will be held in-person at the University of Toronto on October 19, will bring together data and information scientists as well as humanities and social science scholars, to mingle and exchange ideas in a single venue. The broad goal of DCDI is to establish the foundational requirements for a federated data service covering key challenges and potential avenues for addressing them.
Some of the featured events include keynote presentations from Martin Puchner (Byron and Anita Wien Professor at Harvard University) and Dennis Ye Tenen (Associate Professor of English at Columbia University), as well as panels on topics such as Defining Critical Data Services, International Data Consortium, and DH Centers & Initiatives.
