Whether you work within a government agency, library, scholarly society,
academic institution or the commercial sector, the expectations, roles and
responsibilities for data integrity are rapidly changing. Join CENDI and

financial, political, and social/cultural forces that must be considered
for ensuring the quality and integrity of scientific data.

Director of the USGS.
