Workshop 1 - Full Day Costing Curation: are we on the right track?
Organisers: Neil Grindley - Jisc & 4C Project & Katarina Haage - DNB & 4C Project This workshop will be a great opportunity to learn, communicate and influence. The 4C Project takes the cost of digital curation as its starting point but is necessarily interested in related questions such as the value and sustainability of digital assets and ultimately how to design curation to be as effective and efficient as possible with scarce resources available to support it. The IDCC conference is a valuable opportunity for the 4C Project and the community to examine how feasible it is to determine the cost of curating research data and to showcase and refine related work. |

Workshop 3 - Half Day (am) Data Management Planning: get up to date with DMPTool and DMPonline
#idccDMP Organisers: Sarah Shreeves, University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign & Sarah Jones, DCC, University of Glasgow The growth of data management planning as a core infrastructural component affects all types of stakeholder in the modern research environment. This workshop showcases the development work done on DMPTool (USA) and DMPonline (UK) over the last year. With demonstrations of the new functionalities of both systems, together with ‘birds-of-a-feather’ breakout groups and opportunities to talk directly to the people behind the tools either formally and informally, this workshop will interest anyone involved in research data management, including active researchers, research support professionals, library professionals and fellow travellers. |

Workshop 4 - Half-Day (pm) Community Capability Profiling - introducing a new tool to facilitate Data Intensive Research #ccmf Organisers: Liz Lyon & Manjula Patel, UKOLN Informatics - University of Bath & Kenji, Microsoft Research Connections & the Research Data Alliance UKOLN Informatics and Microsoft Research Connections have developed a profiling tool based on the Community Capability Model Framework (CCMF) for Data-Intensive Research. The aim of this workshop is to present the tool and demonstrate its application across a range of disciplines and contexts. Participants will gain an understanding of the CCMF as well as undertake an assessment of their own community using the tool. There will also be opportunities for discussion and networking. The objective is to use the framework to model behaviours associated with the adoption, usage, development and exploitation of human and technical infrastructure for data-intensive research. |

Workshop 6 - Full Day Data Management in the Cloud Organisers: Kristin Tolle & Alex Wade - Microsoft Research In this hands-on workshop you will learn why and how cloud computing is being used for repositories, digital preservation and research analysis tools. You will be walked through setting up your own repository via DataUp. You will get an overview of the available services and capabilities of the Windows Azure cloud platform for data management, as well as on overview of data resources and analytics tools for Excel in the cloud (Office 365). Following this workshop you should feel confident in being able to use the cloud to help with your data management work.

Workshop 7 - Half Day (am) Data Citation Principles: A Synthesis Organisers: Data Citation Synthesis Group Hosted by Force 11 Sound, reproducible scholarship rests on robust, accessible data. Data are legitimate, citable products of research. Data citation, like citation of other evidence, is good research practice. In support of this assertion, and to encourage good practice, the Data Citation Synthesis Group, sponsored by Force 11, offers a set of guiding principles for data citation. Join us for a half-day workshop:

Workshop 8 - Half Day (pm) Trans/Hack: Opening and Preserving Transportation Data Hackathon [Download PDF] #TransHack Organisers: Leighton Christiansen - Iowa Department of Transport Library & Kendra Levine - Institute of Transportation Studies Library, UC Berkeley Transportation is a vital, dynamic, and frequently researched aspect of modern human life. Our various transportation systems produce terabytes of data each day. In 2013, the White House issued new rules requiring federally funded transportation research open data sets and publications to the public. While many disciplines have had open data and data management plans for years, this is new to many transportation agencies and researchers. This hackathon will introduce participants to the wide variety, potential size, and possible problems of transportation datasets. Participants will then help come up with solutions and practices for transportation data. |
