Microsoft Research Connections and UKOLN are working in partnership on an exciting new project to develop a Community Capability Model for Data-Intensive Research, building upon the principles described in The Fourth Paradigm.
This second consultation workshop will focus on discussing and describing scholarly communications to enable data-intensive research, such as collaborative authoring platforms, common data formats and identifiers, data-sharing, data citation and socio-legal issues.
The ultimate aim is to provide a framework that is useful for researchers and funders in modelling a range of disciplinary and community behaviours with respect to the adoption, usage, development and exploitation of cyber-infrastructure for data-intensive research.
Find out more on the project details page.
A
draft of a Whitepaper describing the proposed Community Capability Model is available for comment.
