[LA-SiGMA-funded] LA-SiGMA Workshop: A Pathway to Open Data in Science

[Bety Rodriguez-Milla]

Dear LA-SiGMA colleagues, 

The LA-SiGMA project, with LSU's Center for Computation & Technology, the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), and High Performance Computing at LSU, will be hosting their first Workshop on Semantic Physical Sciences, June 7-8, 2013, at Louisiana State University, in Baton Rouge, LA. 

This Workshop will bring together leading scientists and practitioners in the field of semantic sciences for a two day session of lectures and discussions.  It will give you the knowledge needed to write a strong NSF data plan or to participate in data sharing in your field.  The Workshop will consist of a mixture of theoretical and practical elements and will cover areas including but not limited to:

  -  Data and knowledge management and representation (e.g., semantic web approaches to data)
  -  eResearch tools and the use of data mining for the investigation of physical science data.

For more information and to register, please see the workshop web page:

Looking forward to your participation in the workshop,

Juana Moreno, William Shelton, and Mark Jarrell
