Sustainable data from digital fieldwork, a three-day conference in
Sydney on December 4-6th, 2006.

Papers of 3,000 words are invited for peer review and on-demand
publication. The deadline for papers is September 30 as we plan to make the papers available at the conference.

Topics could include, among others:

• fieldwork and the use of new technologies;
• standards for encoding ethnographic data;
• development of new research questions based on readily available online data;
• access and intellectual property issues;
• advocacy: problems with uptake of new technological tools,
  recalcitrance and how to address it;
• models for training new researchers;
• data curation, what do we want and how do we get it?
