publicly-funded scientific data, as well as how such benefits can be
evaluated. The event will include presentations on the scientific data
sharing and reuse policies of the federal government; compelling
examples of the value of free online access and unfettered reuse of
data; methods of assessing the value and effects of shared access and
reuse on research, the economy, and society; and prepared comments by
Board members. The symposium is open to the public, but advance
