NISO's August webinar -- August 11 from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. (Eastern) -- will
feature: Show Me the Data: Managing Data Sets for Scholarly Content. This
webinar examines the state of the art in linking published scholarly
information -- think journal articles -- to the data that supports the
publication. DataCite and OAI-ORE are just two of the newest models and
standards that are under development and being incorporated into the newest
generations of production and experimental publishing and data curation
repositories.
The webinar will address such questions as: How are commercial and
non-profit publishers responding to the demand to link publications directly
to data? What are the important technical developments aimed at providing
seamless linkages between publications and data? What are the implications
for publishers, research libraries, faculty, and researchers and their
established cultures?
