Call for Papers
The International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC) brings together
data and information creators, managers, users, researchers, and teachers.
The IDCC14 Programme Committee invites submissions to the 9th
International Digital Curation Conference that reflect our conference
theme.
This year the IDCC will focus on how data-driven developments are
changing the world around us, recognising that the growing volume and
complexity of data provides institutions, researchers, businesses and
communities with a range of exciting opportunities and challenges. The
Conference will explore the expanding portfolio of tools and data
services, as well as the diverse skills that are essential to explore,
manage, use and benefit from valuable data assets. The programme will
reflect cultural, technical and economic perspectives and will
illustrate the progress made in this arena in recent months.
