I attended this Symposium and it was well worth my time. From my travelogue:

  Data Information Literacy @ Purdue

  By this time last week I had come and gone to the Data Information
  Literacy (DIL) Symposium at Purdue University. It was a very
  well-organized event, and I learned a number of things.

  First of all, I believe the twelve DIL Competencies were well-founded
  and articulated:

	* conversion & interoperability
	* cultures of practice
	* curation & re-use
	* databases & formats
	* discovery & acquisition
	* ethics & attribution
	* management & organization
	* metadata & description
	* preservation
	* processing & analytics
	* quality & documentation
	* visualization & representation

  For more detail of what these competencies mean and how they were
  originally articulated, see: Carlson, Jake R.; Fosmire, Michael; Miller,
  Chris; and Sapp Nelson, Megan, "Determining Data Information Literacy
  Needs: A Study of Students and Research Faculty" (2011). Libraries
  Faculty and Staff Scholarship and Research. Paper 23.

  I also learned about Bloom's Taxonomy, a classification of learning
  objectives. At the bottom of this hierarchy/classification is
  remembering. The next level up is understanding. The third level is
  application. At the top of the hierarchy/classification is analysis,
  evaluation, and creation. According to the model, a person needs to move
  from remembering through to analysis, evaluation, and creation in order
  to really say they have learned something.

  Some of my additional take-aways included: spend time teaching graduate
  students about data information literacy, and it is almost necessary to
  be imbedded or directly involved in the data collection process in order
  to have a real effect — get into the lab.
  
  About 100 people attended the event. It was two days long. Time was not
  wasted. There were plenty of opportunities for discussion & interaction.
  Hat's off to Purdue. From my point of view, y'all did a good job. "Thank
  you.”
