A New Site From the California Digital Library Explores the "Landscape of Digital Data"
Direct to Data Pub Blog and Feed
From a CDL Blog Post by Patricia Cruse:
Data management plans, data publication, and calls for open data are raising the visibility of digital data as a medium to be addressed by a wide community of researchers, libraries, museums and data centers. As a way to encourage a conversation on these issues, the California Digital Library has created a new site for exploring the landscape of digital data: Data Pub (http://datapub.cdlib.org). Similar to public houses throughout history, we hope that this site and blog will serve as a centerpiece for discussing digital data topics – ye olde data public house.
Topics Covered Include:
- Data Publication
- Data Sharing
- Data Archiving
- Data Citation
- Open Data
- Open Science
Groups at CDL involved in the project are the University of California Curation Center (UC3) and the CDL Publishing Group.
