The Board on Research Data and Information (BRDI) at the National Academies is presenting a Symposium on Scientific Knowledge Discovery in Open Network Envrionments in Washington DC on March 10, 2011. You can find the agenda and other background materials at

This promises to be an extremely interesting day, and there are some wonderful speakers (full disclosure: I'm thrilled to be part of one of the afternoon panels). The Symposium is free and open to the public, but advanced registration is requested.
