Participants will learn how to develop data and metadata management workflows that support the preservation and discovery of these resources using open source platforms. Aspects of modeling and wrangling GIS data within a digital repository will be demonstrated for a variety of content types, including historic scanned maps, vector data, raster data, scientific data, and georectified maps. Approaches for creating metadata that support preservation and data sharing mandates will be covered in this course, along with methods for auto-generating and transforming metadata for aggregation and web-scale delivery. This workshop is designed for practitioners across the spectrum, including researchers, developers, librarians, and managers.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>For more information about these courses and to register, visit <a href="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/sumprog/index.jsp?rcd=ORAN16" target="_blank">icpsr.umich.edu/sumprog</a> or contact the ICPSR Summer Program at <a href="mailto:sumprog@icpsr.umich.edu" target="_blank">sumprog@icpsr.umich.edu</a> or <a href="tel:%28734%29%20763-7400" value="+17347637400" target="_blank">(734) 763-7400</a>.</div></div>
