Workshops*
SAVE THE DATE! Wednesday 28th September 2011 at the University of York
(eScience AHM)
SAVE THE DATE! Sunday 23rd October 2011 at the Microsoft Northeast
Research and Development Center, Cambridge Massachusetts
UKOLN, University of Bath and Microsoft Research Connections would like
to invite you to participate in the first two
Consultation Workshops for Developing a Community Capability Model for
Data-Intensive Research.
*Workshop 1* is taking place from 13.15 -- 17.15 on Wednesday 28th
September 2011 at the University of York UK, to coincide with the
eScience All Hands Meeting 2011.
*Workshop 2* is taking place from 11.00-16.30 on Sunday 23rd October
2011 at the Microsoft Northeast Research and Development Center,
Cambridge, MA.
Microsoft Research Connections and UKOLN are working in partnership on
an exciting new project to develop a Community Capability Model for
Data-Intensive Research, building upon the principles described in The
Fourth Paradigm. More details at http://communitymodel.sharepoint.com
<http://communitymodel.sharepoint.com/>
The first consultation workshop will focus on discussing and describing
technological aspects for enabling research, such as common data
infrastructure, standards, and ontologies. Social aspects such as
collaborative approaches, open engagement and socio-legal issues will
also be explored. The ultimate aim is to provide a framework that is
useful for researchers and funders in modelling a range of disciplinary
and community behaviours with respect to the adoption, usage,
development and exploitation of cyber-infrastructure for data-intensive
research.
The second consultation workshop will focus on discussing and describing
scholarly communications to enable data-intensive research, such as
collaborative authoring platforms, common data formats and identifiers,
data-sharing, data citation and socio-legal issues.
The workshop programmes are available on the Project website:

The workshops are aimed at researchers, digital repository managers,
staff from library, information and research organisations, data curators,
data centre managers, data scientists, research funding organisations
and research networks.
If you would like to attend, (note there are a limited number of places
at these workshops), please register using:

We welcome your participation and hope you are able to attend.
