Following the December 8-9 CNI membership meeting in DC, there's a workshop on December 10 that is aimed at advancing the development of better characterizations of the various roles that contributors play in scholarly communication. This builds on work that was done at a workshop hosted at Harvard in May 2012; I know some CNI-announce readers were at this earlier meeting and many more read the report or other coverage.

Amy Brand, who organized the Harvard meeting, is running this workshop as well. She tells me that she still has a small number of places available. More details are below.

Clifford Lynch Director, CNI

"There a few spots left for a one-day workshop following CNI on December 10th in DC, for anyone interested in learning more about http://projectcredit.net. This is an initiative sponsored by the Wellcome Trust, Digital Science, CASRAI and NISO, with support from Science Europe, to develop a science-oriented contributor role taxonomy and its implementation. Preliminary workshop agenda, along with registration form, may be found here. "
