<p class="MsoNormal">This one-day workshop is a must for anyone involved in creating, managing, or using scientific data. The Open Data movement dramatically is changing the flows<i>
</i>as well as the roles of all involved. This workshop will explore the technical, financial, political, and social/cultural forces that must be considered when assessing the quality and integrity of the data. We will investigate with major stakeholders
how can we rely on the quality and integrity of the data that are becoming increasingly available. Mark your calendar
<i>now</i> to reserve the date of this informative workshop. Registration will open September 15, 2014<b>,
</b>to accommodate those who need to pay before the new fiscal year begins. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The day opens with a keynote on the current landscape of data quality and integrity, including a discussion of policies, major stakeholders, needs, and issues. This will be followed by in depth discussion of the laws and policies that

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">After a hosted lunch, speakers from the publishing, aggregating and archiving communities discuss their roles and several of the tools and applications they use to support data quality and integrity, as well as an exploration of basic
requirements and expectations, assessment of user needs, and establishing quality benchmarks.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The day closes with a facilitated discussion of speakers and attendees of the day’s material, possible applications, and the envisioned future. Discussion will include the challenges, identified gaps and next steps in building a more

CENDI, the Federal STI Managers Group, was formally created in 1985 when a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by four charter U.S. government agencies (Commerce, Energy, NASA, and Defense). From this small core of STI managers, CENDI has grown to its current
membership of 13 major science agencies involved in the dissemination and long-term management of scientific and technical information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
