A Long-Term View of Developments and Trends in Networked Information
Clifford Lynch
This presentation and discussion are an extended and adapted version of a plenary talk I’ll present at next week’s Coalition for Networked Information meeting in Washington, DC.
I will take a long view on four key areas in networked information, considering how developments and thinking have evolved over the past roughly 25 years, and including some speculation about what we might see in at least the coming decade. To provide some additional context, I’ll begin with a snapshot of some of the key concerns and issues circa roughly 1997.
The four areas to be examined are
- Preservation and Stewardship
- Cyberinfrastructure
- Scholarly Communication
- Open Scholarship and Open Science
This seminar will be held both online & in person. You are welcome to join us either in South Hall or via Zoom.
