KNT07 - Arctic Data Management: Supporting Knowledge, Research and Decision-Making - sponsored by Amundsen Science

As information and data become more accessible, there is increasing awareness of how data management is integral to the research process and to decision making. With the advancement of data standards and semantic protocols, data is also becoming more interoperable across systems and enhancing accessibility for users. Building on the outcomes of the Canadian Polar Data Workshops, the development of a Canadian consortium supporting data interoperability, national and territorial Inuit strategies on data management, and Canadian leadership in international data initiatives, we invite papers on the following topics: open access to data and data publication; best practices for adopting or formalizing Arctic data standards at all stages of data collection; Indigenous data sovereignty and/or ensuring Indigenous leadership in the adoption and formalization of data standards; advances in data interoperability with example use cases; semantics; policy and best practices; and other relevant topics.
