At the meeting we would like to cover a couple of topics. First, we would like to take some time to discuss the change in format for our annual meeting and the alternative virtual opportunities available to information managers this summer. Renee sent out an email with loads of information yesterday and we would like to have some discussion about these changes.<br></div><div><br></div><div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second portion of June's virtual water cooler will cover
updates from the Non-Tabular Data Working Group, which is developing
best practices for non-tabular datasets such as images, models, and
genomics data. The group will list best practices
that are ready for review, and introduce data types for which best
practices are still under development.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Before the VWC, you may want to check out EDI's
data package best practices website. This site grew from the EML Best
Practices v.3 document, but accommodates practices beyond EML such as
how to handle less traditional datasets.</p>
