International-Data-Week-2018.md

International Data Week 2018 combined a number of events around data, particularly research data.

I was mainly involved in three of them

• SciDataCon 2018 — see the SciDataCon sessions in the schedule below
  • see my notes specifically on this at SciDataCon-2018.md
• 12th Plenary of the Research Data Alliance — see the RDA sessions in the schedule below
• World Data Science Data Repositories Day 2018 — see the WDS session in the schedule below

but also attended parts of UVA/DSI Data Palooza 2018 remotely.

See here for my notes taken throughout the week.
