I’d been meaning to write an IASSIST blog post about OR 2012, hosted by the University of Edinburgh’s Host Organising Committee led by Co-Chair and IASSISTer Stuart Macdonald in July, because it had such good DATA content. Fortunately Simon Hodson, the UK’s JISC Managing Research Data Programme Manager, has provided this introduction and has allowed me to post it here, with further links to his analytic blog posts, and even those contain further links to OTHER blog posts talking about OR2012 and data!
