The Right to Read is the Right To Mine: But Not When Blocked by Technical Protection Measures
e-Science Workshop on Data re-use – How can metadata stimulate re-use
The LIBER Working Group on e-Science will be organising the second of four workshops on libraries and research data during the 7th IDCC conference on Monday 5th of December.
This is the second of a fourth series to be organised by our Working Group on e-Science. Its aim is to focusing on the re-use of data, and in particular, on the description that makes data discoverable and re-usable.
Three working groups will be established during the workshop to address:
- Infrastructure and access to research data (open access, open source and open data)
- Technical aspects of privacy, digital identity and digital rights management for research data
- The support of cross- and multidisciplinary research (data, one size fits all). And underlying it all – what is the role for libraries
Each working group will then produce a poster; one member stays with the poster, the others circulate around the other working groups in order to ask questions, discuss the outcomes. The ‘poster guardians’ will finally report back at a plenary session, just to mention any conclusions or final observations.
