Greetings! (01)
You and your colleagues are invited to Collaborative Expedition workshop
#64, "Mapping and Navigating the Waterways of Public Information:
Connecting People to Science and Scholarly Knowledge". The purpose of the
workshop is to learn how to make it easier for citizens to navigate public
information (including scientific, cultural, and scholarly knowledge).
Participants will be introduced to data analysis tools and research
practices becoming available to make it easier to work with colleagues
from other agencies to improve citizens' overall experience with science
repositories - from mapping Mars to better appreciation of environmental
and historical features of their own neighborhoods. Participants will
also shared lessons learned from employing knowledge mapping techniques,
data visualization, and innovative data stewardship techniques. The
workshop will open up dialogue to facilitate "bootstrapping" among
multiple communities and institutions committed to advancing public access
to electronically stored information, including scientific and cultural
heritage collections. (02)
