Hey Gang!
Sorry back with a vengeance today!
The following is important as data are mostly not 'catalogued' in library cataloguing systems, they are stored in repositories and acessed via a portal but do not have a catalogue number which makes finding them a bit harder. Also, the questions that will be addressed are similar to some of the questions open data folks are grappling with.
“For Attribution: Developing Data Attribution and Citation Practices and Standards”, by the National Academy of Sciences’ Board on Research Data and Information. That report to be published freely on our website sometime next month. In the meantime, see
http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/brdi/PGA_063656 for the description, agenda, and slides of that workshop.
Later this year, there will be a second report issued by the international CODATA-ICSTI Task Group on Data Citation Standards and Practices, which will build on this first report. That second report will also be discussed at the CODATA Conference in Taipei on 28-31 October 2012. See
www.codata.org for both the conference details and the description of the Task Group.
