CURATEcamp 2012 GATECH

Possible Discussion Topics

Data Management Education (Chris Eaker, ceaker@utk.edu) - instructing researchers and students in sound data management practices is important for helping keep data usable over the long term. I'd like to have a discussion about this at CURATEcamp 2012. The Data Information Literacy project at Purdue has developed 12 core topics that should be included in a data management curriculum. We can begin by discussing these and then look at other curricula already developed and see how they compare.
