*Apologies in advance for multiple postings.*
*ALCTS webinar: Datasets for Publication: Standards and Issues*
*Date: December 7, 2011*
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
*Description:* Increasingly scholars and researchers are demanding
access to the underlying data that supports the conclusions in published
materials. In response, publishers and a variety of other organizations
are publishing datasets either as standalone products or attached to
publications. There are many open questions about how the information
community will deal with these resources. Traditional bibliographic,
discovery, citation and preservation tools are not well equipped to
address these new content types.
OECD has implemented a metadata schema for data objects which is
compatible with existing bibliographic management and citation systems,
making it possible to cite and manage published datasets and tables
using the same tools used to manage journal articles and books. This
initiative has made it possible for search engines, abstracting and
indexing services and library catalogues to reference data sets.
The webinar will explore some of the issues around data citation, data
attribution, and the linking of data to the publication process. In
addition, the webinar will share information on the OECD's experience
and highlight issues related to data citation and linking on the OECD
iLibrary.
A discussion of several industry initiatives related to data
publication, including the NISO/NFAIS Supplementary Materials
Recommended Practice project and the CODATA/ICSTI Task Force on Data
Citation will also be included.
*Learning Outcomes*: Attendees will learn what the issues around data
citation in the publication process. They will also obtain practical
information based on experience from OECD's iLibrary.
*Audience:* Anyone interested in learning how to handle datasets for
publication and in the development of standards to manage datasets.
*Presenters: Todd Carpenter *is Managing Director of the National
Information Standards Organization (NISO), a non-profit membership
association that fosters the development and maintenance of standards
that facilitate the creation, persistent management, and effective
interchange of information used in publishing, research, and learning.
Throughout his career, Todd has served in a variety of roles with
organizations that connected the publisher and library communities.
Prior to joining NISO, Todd had been Director of Business Development
with BioOne an aggregator of online journals in the biological sciences.
He has also held management positions at The Johns Hopkins University
Press, the Energy Intelligence Group, and The Haworth Press. Todd is a
graduate of Syracuse University and holds a masters degree from the
Johns Hopkins University.
*Terri Mitton* is the Data Products Project Manager at the Organisation
of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), an international
organization which is one of the largest publishers of economic
statistics and policy information in the world. Terri contributed to the
OECD publishing white paper, "We Need Publishing Standards for Datasets
and Data Tables" which examines the problems with data discoverability
and citations and proposes a remedy in creating industry standards for
bibliographic dataset metadata and linking. In her role at OECD, Terri
has led various initiatives to build new and improved OECD data
services. Prior to joining OECD, Terri held management and project
director positions at Electronic Data Systems and other consulting
companies. Terri is a graduate of Oklahoma State University and is a
