DatCat Community Contribution (DCC 1) Workshop

The first DatCat Community Contribution (DCC 1) workshop will be held at the San Diego Supercomputer Center in San Diego, CA from March 12-14, 2007.

Workshop Motivation

Because researchers have scarce time to put towards making data available, we have created this workshop series to provide community members with the resources they need to contribute data to the Internet Measurement Data Catalog (DatCat). CAIDA staff familiar with DatCat will provide an introduction to the catalog architecture and contribution interface and then will assist researchers with generating and indexing metadata for their datasets in DatCat.

Most research and operations personnel with valuable data do not have resources to support their data distribution efforts. To reduce this barrier to participation, the National Science Foundation is sponsoring the local arrangements, including registration, travel, and lodging expenses for many workshop participants.

Attending the Workshop

The First DatCat Community Contribution Workshop is by invitation only. If you are interested in participating, or would like to attend a future DatCat Communuty Contribution Workshop, email contribute@datcat.org. Information about contributing data to DatCat can be found at http://imdc.datcat.org/help/contributing
