About this Class

Please join us on Wednesday, March 6 when Daniella Lowenberg from the University of California, California Digital Library will present “Defining the Need for Open Data Metrics.”
 
Widespread adoption of open data practices, including the implementation of the latest NIH data management and sharing policy, has resulted in a wealth of open datasets and increased attention on data as a public asset. In order to fulfill responsible data stewardship, we must take steps to understand how data are found, accessed, and reused. This talk will focus on the journey towards development of these assessment frameworks, priority areas, and examples of how shifting focus from data access to data metrics will more effectively allow academic and government bodies to meet open data goals.
 
Ms. Lowenberg is on loan from the University of California Office of the President to the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as the Senior Advisor for Data Governance. In this role she is focused on developing strategies for open and restricted use data assets across ACF
