Panel Presentations

This panel will discuss approaches institutions have taken to develop and implement policies for a variety of issues related to research data, including ownership, copyright, commercialization, privacy, embargoes, access controls, sharing, reuse, and preservation.

This panel will discuss how to quickly start up data curation/management services with limited resources from the perspective of institutions that have recently done so in response to funding agency policies and/or other external factors.

 *   Systems/strategies for full-lifecycle research data curation
 *   Tools developed and/or used for data curation/management
 *   Digital preservation
 *   Data citation and reuse
