There’s an interesting free upcoming event being hosted by the Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton University on November 30 titled “Big Data: Public Policy and the Exploding Digital Corpus”, which offers a great set of speakers exploring some important and neglected issues at the interfaces between the management of the historical record, the data deluge, and a range of public policy challenges.
