[Esip-infoquality] SciDataCon 2016 - Conference in September. Abstracts due May 30, 2016

[Moroni, David F (398G)]

Thank you Rama for this information. I wish I could attend but due to pre-existing schedule conflicts I will unable to participate directly. Nonetheless, I would welcome the opportunity to co-author a talk/paper relating to data and information quality.

Cheers,
David

All,

The SciDataCon 2016 conference is scheduled to occur Sept. 11-13, 2016. Data/Information Quality is a topic of high interest to the community, but there is no dedicated session on this. A session proposal some of us, led by Yaxing Wei (ORNL), had submitted was not accepted due to the highly competitive set of session proposals. However, we have been encouraged to submit papers on this topic as general submissions, and if there are enough approved papers on the topic, they will constitute a session on Data/Information Quality. For your information, the following is the abstract of the session proposal we had submitted:

Title: Improving the Capture, Description, Availability, Interoperability, and Usage of Data Quality Information to Promote Scientific Research.


As scientific research is shifting toward "The Fourth Paradigm” of data-Intensive scientific discovery, especially in the Earth science domain, the integrity and trustworthiness of scientific discoveries rely heavily on the quality of data used in the research. For example, to predict future climate change and its environmental and societal impacts, research must draw upon current and historical remote sensing, airborne, and field campaign observations, both as inputs and as a basis for improving models. Scientific research is beginning to use crowdsourced data collected via social media and community-based monitoring. In all these areas data quality plays a prominent role, especially with the increase in interdisciplinary science. Researchers need to efficiently find and access data from diverse data sources that have known levels of quality to satisfy their research needs. It is also incumbent on researchers to properly describe the quality of data generated from scientific measurements, analysis, and/or modeling. Furthermore, data repositories should share interoperable standards and best practices to provide efficient data stewardship that facilitates discovery and enables use of scientific data through improved dissemination of data quality information. The goal is making data quality information interoperable so that multi-disciplinary data can be seamlessly integrated and more readily available to a wider user network. This interdisciplinary session solicits research and practical papers that discuss the challenges, best practices, and/or applications associated with the capture, description, availability, interoperability, and usage of data quality information to promote scientific research. Papers from different perspectives, including domain science researchers, data experts, and data management systems are welcome.
The due date for abstracts is May 30, 2016 (It was extended recently from May 16, 2016).  Instructions for submitting abstracts can be found at http://www.scidatacon.org/2016/submit/. Please note that the abstracts are expected to be fairly detailed:
“Download the abstract template.  Please complete the abstract template respecting the existing formatting.  Please submit your proposal of a length appropriate to the intervention.  For example, we suggest that the proposal for a research paper should be 2-4 pages and for a practice paper, two pages.  For lightning talks or panel interventions, 1 page will suffice.  These are guides and please use your judgement.  We strongly discourage proposals of more than 4 pages.”

Regards,
Rama.
