This event aims to bring together software developers, project
managers, data librarians and experts particularly in the area of
Managing Research Data.

Hack days are a place for like minded people to get together, to have
an opportunity to discuss issues relevant in the area, experiment in a
focused way on prototyping systems/data and even hacking them
together. It also aims for people to explore current ways of doing
things and how they could be improved.

We are hoping that people will come together to form small teams/
groups, to discuss issues, work on paper/real prototypes, datasets,
APIs.

The event will culminate in a series of presentations from the teams
in terms of the work they have carried out. We may even provide a
prize to the best ideas to develop them further.

Please visit the MRD Hack Days Ideas page,

http://devcsi.ukoln.ac.uk/upcoming-events/mrd-hack-days/mrd-hack-days-ideas/

citable

sets.
- Using generic level DC metadata to describe data sets
