CAMP-4-DATA: Cyber-infrastructure & Metadata Protocols

Dublin Core-Science and Metadata Community and Research Data Alliance are hosting a day-long Metadata Interest Group workshop, CAMP-4-DATA, on Sept. 6, 2013 in Lisbon, Portugal. The workshop is part of DC-2013. Submissions for participation are currently open in the areas of short papers, abstracts, and position statements. The intent of this workshop is to discuss and forward challenges and opportunities relating to metadata standards for the management of scientific data, and how policies, applications, and infrastructure can foster creation of and access to sustainable, open, and collective standards.

The workshop has four components:

1. brief presentations to set the stage (morning sessions 1 & 2),

2. a tool exhibition (early afternoon session 3),

3. breakout group discussions addressing targeted infrastructure and policy questions (afternoon session 4), and

4. synthesis reporting (closing session 5).
