While many venues exist to meet and discuss data curation topics – from listservs to conferences – few opportunities arise for data curators to engage in personalized, but collaborative, hands-on work using the tools of an established domain repository. During the latter half of 2012, a working group of data specialists sought to address this need by meeting regularly (via online meeting) to discuss data curation topics and apply them to actual processing of data using the internal workflows and tools of the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR). Working group members included Ron Nakao, Stanford University; Jared Lyle, ICPSR; Rob O’Reilly and Jennifer Doty, Emory University; Joel Herndon, Duke University; Libbie Stephenson, UCLA; and Jon Stiles, UC Berkeley.
