1st BELIEF II and CASPAR Brainstorming workshop
Sustainable e-Infrastructures: Challenges in data provenance and authenticity

Venue: Athens, Greece

Dates: 6-7 April 2009

Workshop Web site and registration

This first BELIEF II Brainstorming workshop, held in collaboration with CASPAR Project, will tackle the topic of Data Provenance. This was one of the most important outcomes of the 6th eConcertation meeting co-organised by the European Commission - DG INFSO/F3 GÉANT & e-Infrastructure Unit with the support of the BELIEF-II project, which took place last November.

The joint BELIEF II & CASPAR Brainstorming workshop will consist of a mixture of presentations and discussions addressing several aspects around Provenance of Scientific Data: Authentication, Annotation, Archiving, etc. The workshop aims to tackle the issues above by bringing together participants from several disciplines and with different background and roles – scientists, end-users, librarians. The output of the workshop will be a report which intends to contribute to the drafting of the research agenda on the issues related to data provenance and standardization in e-Infrastructures.
