Participants: Anne Wilson; Bob Downs; Carol Meyer

1. General

Conversation about who to involve on the panel.

Jen Schopf as an workshop invitee, to represent the networking infrastructure angle

2. Messaging

• Issues to be underscored - data collection is a temporary activity; data become at risk after collection activities due to lack of explicit support for data stewardship; data generator *might* not have access to their data if its archiving has not been supported; publications fill some of this gap for research results, less on the data
• High Level Questions:

• how much metadata to preserve
• what metadata to preserve

Four Themes

Need to say why this is important - why we should care; answer the so what question

• Culture

• reactive rather than proactive - needs to be forward looking
• need professional development/education to affect culture change
• need incentives = Funding

• Technology Drivers

• new technologies create research opportunities
• new technologies potentially change current stewardship paradigm

• Stewardship of Scientific Assets

• metadata issues
• what gets saved & how?
• what can be re-generated rather than saved?

• Funding

• ROI

• What are the examples of game changers; what are the driving forces?
