*Information Science to Data Science*
<http://ischools.org/the-iconference/program/workshops/#workshop4>* is a
half-day workshop on March 22nd at the 2017 iConference, hosted by the **Wuhan
University School of Information Management* <http://sim.whu.edu.cn/en/>*
and the **Sungkyunkwan University Library & Information Science and Data
Science Department* <http://ischool.skku.edu/liseng/menu_1/2_1.jsp>*. The
Information Science to Data Science Workshop is sponsored, in part, by
the **Metadata
Research Center* <http://cci.drexel.edu/mrc/>*/CCI/Drexel.*


The iSchools, an interdisciplinary community, has a unique opportunity to
contribute to the field data science, given information science foundations
and advances in information retrieval, knowledge organization,
visualization, and other information and data-driven processes.

The "Information Science to Data Science:  New Directions for iSchools"
workshop at *iConference 2017, Wuhan University*, will provide a forum for
cross-institutional dialog in the area of data science. Contributions
welcome from iSchool leaders and faculty, graduate students, and industry
partners engaged in and exploring the complementary relationship and
convergence of information science and data science.
The workshop will include position papers and statements along with
breakout group discussion. Workshop goals are to: 1) share iSchool
developments in data science education and research, 2) articulate unique
contributions and opportunities for iSchools in data science, and 3) lay a
foundation for continued, international dialog among iSchools leading or
seeking to pursue data science.

*ATTENDANCE*
Workshop participation is open to both presenters (people submitting
position papers or statements), as well as general participants who seek to
engage in this necessary discussion.

* PAPERS and STATEMENTS DETAILS*
We seek position papers (roughly 2 pages) or statements (200-500 words).
Papers and statements may address one of the following guiding questions.
1. What are iSchool currently doing in the data science space?
2. What unique contributions and opportunities are there for iSchools in
data science education and research?
3. What hardware, software, applications, knowledge and skill, and other
resources are required for iSchools to excel and lead in data science?
4. How can iSchools facilitate global collaboration in data science
education and research?

Submissions are not restricted to the posited questions, and may address
other topics associated workshop’s themes and the relationship between
information science and data science.

*SUBMISSION INFORMATION*
* All submission will be peer reviewed by the workshop organizing committee
and made accessible via the Metadata Research Center’s website at Drexel
University, prior to the workshop.
* At least one author of accepted work is expected to register and
participate in the workshop at Wuhan University.
* Submissions should follow the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery)
template:  https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.
* Presenters will have an opportunity to submit an extended version of work
for a special monograph to be published as part of the iResearch Series,
following the workshop.
* Workshop submissions should be sent to: IS2DataSci at gmail.com.

*IMPORTANT DATES*
* Submissions due: February 5, 2017
* Review feedback shared by: February 20, 2017
* Final copies for workshop dissemination due: March 15
