Microsoft Research Connections and UKOLN, University of Bath, UK are working in partnership on an exciting new project to develop a Community Capability Model for Data-Intensive Research, building upon the principles described in The Fourth Paradigm.
More details about the CCMF project are available at: http://communitymodel.sharepoint.com

This consultation workshop will focus on presenting and reviewing the newly-published draft CCMF White Paper. The Community Capability Model Framework (CCMF) reflects a series of capability factors or parameters including technological aspects (such as adoption of common data infrastructures, standards, formats and ontology) and social aspects (such as collaborative approaches, open engagement and socio-legal issues).  The ultimate aim is to provide a framework that is useful to various stakeholders, such as researchers, institutions and funders, in modelling a range of disciplinary and community behaviours associated with the adoption, usage, development and exploitation of e-infrastructure for data-intensive research.

The workshop is aimed at researchers, digital repository managers, staff from library, information and research organisations, data curators, data centre managers, data scientists, research funding organisations and research networks.
We welcome your participation and hope you are able to attend.
