[ESIP-all] Save The Date and Call for Abstracts: 2016 DataONE Users Group Meeting

[Amber E Budden]

Dear Community

Please save the date for our upcoming DataONE Users Group (DUG) meeting to
be held July 17th-18th, 2016 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  As in
previous years, we will be co-locating with the ESIP Summer Meeting.

There is no cost to registration.

*Meeting Theme and Objectives*
The 2016 meeting theme, “Expanding Data Networks,” will focus on the new
challenges and efforts in making data accessible, discoverable, and
deliverable while promoting open data policies, standards, and compliance
with funders’ emerging data management requirements. A strong emphasis is
on data synthesis and technological progress made in data network
infrastructure.

In a departure from previous years, the scientific program of the 2016
meeting invites both talks and posters from the community on the following
topics:

   - Leveraging research data level metrics for large data repositories and
   data networks
   - Integrating the needs and inputs of data users to advance and improve
   data discoverability
   - Assessing the progress, impact, and success in promoting open data
   policies

DataONE encourages DataONE Member Nodes, data scientists, researchers,
scientists, students and others to submit abstracts for posters and talks.

*Abstract Submission for Posters and Talks*
Please submit an abstract (250 words maximum) and indicate whether you
prefer to give a talk or present a poster to dugchairs at dataone.org. Talks
will be approximately 10-20 minutes in duration, to be confirmed with
development of the agenda. The poster session will be held the evening of
Sunday evening July 17th during the reception events.

Submissions will be reviewed by the DataONE Users Group Steering Committee.
Accepted abstracts will be published on the DataONE website.

*Important Dates*
Abstract Submission Deadline: *April 15, 2016*
