[ICPSR] [OR-Announce] NIH Videocast Announcement

[Mark Thompson-Kolar]

Videocast of NIH BD2K Data Catalog Workshop, August 21-22, 2013

The NIH Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) initiative will be webstreaming a
workshop to discuss an NIH Data Catalog.  BD2K is now considering the
development of a biomedical Data Catalog to make biomedical research data
findable and citable, as PubMed does for scientific publications.  Such a
Data Catalog would make it easier for researchers to find, share, and cite
data, as well as the publications and grants that they are associated with.
A Data Catalog is distinct from a data repository, but would help make data
in such repositories more easily findable and citable in a consistent
manner. In addition to supplying core, minimal metadata to ensure a valid
data reference, it is envisioned that a Data Catalog would include links
out to the location of the data, to the NIH Reporter record of the grant
that supported the research, to relevant publications within PubMed or
journals, and possibly to associated software or algorithms.

The videocast may be accessed from the NIH Events page (
http://videocast.nih.gov/FutureEvents.asp). The broadcast will begin when
the workshop commences Wednesday, August 21, 2013, 8:30 AM.
