DCC Tools of the Trade Workshops May 19 2010 Manchester Convention Centre http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/workshops/tools-trade-workshops
The DCC is delighted to announce that we will be holding two of our Tools of the Trade workshops. The first will introduce users to the newly refined Data Asset Framework (DAF) toolkit and the second, held in cooperation with the University of London Computing Centre (ULCC), will introduce users to the Assessing Institutional Digital Assets (AIDA) toolkit. Each of these half-day workshops will provide participants with an introduction to the tool and its underlying methodology. A key goal for these events will be to show how the tools may be used as a means of identifying data management requirements and benchmarking data management activity and improvement over time. The events will also feature examples of the how the tools have been used in a real-life setting. The events will take place 19 May 2010 at the Manchester Conference Centre -directly following the JISC MRD Progress workshop (http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/workshops/jisc-mrd-progress-workshop). Participation is limited to 25 for each workshop. Agenda: 09:30 - 12:30 Introduction to the Data Asset Framework (DAF) 12:30 - 13:30 Lunch 13:30 - 16:30 Introduction to Assessing Institutional Digital Assets (AIDA) Participation in either or both of these events is free to project staff in the JISC Managing Research Data programme.
