The Faculty of Information will host the inaugural Dublin Core Data Institute (DCDI) conference on October 19, 2024. The first event of its kind, DCDI will focus on advancing open data resources for humanities and social science research.
The conference aims to bring together leading data and information scientists, as well as humanities and social sciences scholars, to mingle and exchange ideas. The broad goal is to establish the foundational requirements for a federated data service, addressing key challenges and exploring potential solutions.
DCDI will offer a series of engaging panels on topics including “Defining Critical Data Services,” “The International Data Consortium,” and “DH Centers and Initiatives.” Attendees will also hear from two distinguished keynote speakers: Martin Puchner, the Byron and Anita Wien Professor at Harvard University, and Dennis Yi Tenen, associate professor of English at Columbia University and co-director of the Center for Comparative Media.
DCDI will be held in conjunction with DCMI 2024, the twenty-second International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications, from October 20 to 23.
