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
CAIDA will make the hotel and local transportation arrangements for the workshop, but feel free to refer to the CAIDA Visitors’ Info page for general local information about your visit.
