7th International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC11)
Theme: Public ? Private ? Personal ? Navigating the Open Data Landscape
5-7 December 2011 
Bristol, UK

Digital curation manages, maintains, preserves, and adds value to digital 
information throughout its lifecycle, reducing threats to long-term value, 
mitigating the risk of digital obsolescence and enhancing usefulness for 
research and scholarship. IDCC brings together those who create information, 
those who curate and manage it, those who use it and those who research and 
teach about curation processes.

The IDCC11 programme committee invites submissions on current concerns in 
digital curation and specific concerns arising from our conference theme. 
Possible topic areas include:
- Lessons learned from the inter-disciplinary use of open data: examples of 
enablers, barriers and success stories
- Curation of mixed data collections, with open and sensitive or private content
- Gathering evidence for benefits of data sharing
- Building capacity for the effective management, sharing and reuse of open data
- Scale issues in the management of sensitive data
- Tensions between maintaining quality and openness
- Linked data, open data, closed data and provenance
- Technical and organisational solutions for data security
- Developing new metrics for open data
- Ethical issues and personal data
- Legislation and open data

Research papers will be eligible for publication as peer-reviewed articles in 
the International Journal of Digital Curation.
