Grants are Temporary but Data Stewardship is Not: Sustainability of the Data Curation Network

Abstract

The Data Curation Network and sustainability modeling are both topics that have generated significant interest in the information science community. We anticipate that attendees may have questions about either, and we welcome the opportunity to answer them directly. While our sustainability plan is relatively robust (URL provided below), there are also still details that we (the DCN leaders) have not entirely worked out (e.g. some details concerning the additional tiers of membership). This factors into our sustainability modeling, and we would appreciate the opportunity to hear reactions directly from attendees about what we are currently proposing.
