Event Description
As early as 2005, policy makers spoke of ‘communities of practice’ and ‘communities of interest’ that would come together to share research data and solve the world’s problems. Nearly two decades later, what communities have arisen to address the myriad of challenges in sharing research data? Has the effort of sharing data paid off? Where are we headed next? Amanda Rinehart will reflect on the history, progress, and current status of data communities, including librarians, in sharing digital research data.
