Attention is now necessarily turning to the management and stewardship of data created by and for research is deemed as a major asset for science and for humanity. In terms of document repositories, India proudly occupies the second place in the number of DSpace installations nationally, after the US. Libraries have played an active role in installing and managing such digital repositories of publications. The Library and Information Science community has always been at the forefront in the world-wide advocacy and implementation of 'Open Access to Information'. The library community and research institutions must now address the challenge of research data and ensure that data is well-managed and made Open by default. India has one of the largest scientific communities in the world generating huge quantities of scientific and research data. The Government of India has mandated opening up data by all publicly funded institutes and organizations [NDSAP-2012]. With the growing interest in Open data, libraries in near the future will have a significant role in collecting and organizing and managing research data sets. Data management presents its own challenges. The often discussed challenges include sheer volume, variety of formats, standards for description for retrieval purpose, tools and technology platform and data sharing policies. In order to introduce library and information science professionals to data management using popular open source tools, the Documentation Research and Training Center of the Indian Statistical Institute along with ICSU-CODATA announces an International Training Workshop on Open Data Repositories. The objective of this workshop is to promote and encourage scientific and research organizations to implement lightweight and sustainable 'Open Data Repositories' as an essential first step towards the improved stewardship of valuable data assets. The three-day workshop will include theoretical lectures and also hands on practical sessions on data repository software delivered by a pool of Indian and International experts. TOPICS: Research Data Management Linked Open Data Data standards and description Datametrics Data Citation Data Repository Software: Dataverse, CKAN Case studies and world wide data sharing networks and initiatives Registration: INR 2000/- [inclusive of all taxes] Participants may register by sending demand draft for INR 2000/- in favor of Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore.
