I wanted to share the call for papers that has now been issued by the=20
2018 International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC), which will take=20
place in Barcelona on 19-22 January. CNI is once again collaborating on=20
this conference, which is organized by the UK Digital Curation Center.=20

Beyond FAIR - from principles to practice to global join up
The need to manage and share digital outputs and data has been clearly=20
articulated and gained international traction over the past decade or=20
more. Effective data handling skills and curation services are=20
essential to support and embed these practices. Much progress has been=20
made towards implementation with services being provided by research=20
institutions, funders, domain groups, commercial providers and others.=20
As the landscape matures, attention is turning to coordination and=20
interoperability, with investments being made in the NIH Commons=20
initiative, the European Open Science Cloud and African Open Science=20
Platform. This evolution poses many difficult questions: Who is=20
responsible for what? What do principles like FAIR mean in reality and=20
how should they be assessed? How do you join up or ensure=20
interoperability across existing and emerging infrastructure and=20
services? Where does the investment come from and how do we make this=20
sustainable?
The focus of IDCC in 2018 is sharing practical lessons on the efforts=20
made so far to curate data and pursue a digital data commons. Papers=20
should address one of three overarching themes:
=09=95=09Data
=09=95=09Skills and services
=09=95=09Value
We want to hear from different communities on data processing pipelines=20
- what works and where do tools fail you? How realistic is it to use=20
other people's data? And what challenges emerge from the current=20
policies and drivers for openness?
Lessons from those supporting and curating data and digital collections=20
are also called for: what programmes have you been running to share=20
skills and build capacity? To what extent are you tailoring provision=20
to different domains? How are the services on offer maturing and=20
evolving?
In terms of impact and sustainability, we want to know what value is=20
being generated for society by sharing and reusing data? What models=20
are emerging to demonstrate the impact of services. And how are=20
services being sustained?
