Session 1: Evaluating and measuring data use and utility Session chair: Daniella Lowenberg Presentations (15 minutes + 5 minutes speaker transition time):
9:40 a.m. – 9:55 a.m. EST	Daniella Lowenberg, California Digital Library, Introduction to current efforts around the building blocks of data metrics: data usage and citation
10:00 a.m. – 10:15 a.m. EST	Dr. Valerie Schneider, National Institutes of Health, Perspectives from a data center with multiple repositories
10:20 a.m. – 10:35 a.m. EST	Dr. Susan Redline, Harvard University, Perspectives from a domain specific data repository: The National Sleep Research Resource

Panel Discussion: 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. - Questions from participants, plus framing questions Framing questions: What types of indicators have been or could be gathered to measure research data or data repository/knowledgebase value and reach? How does the maturity of a data repository/knowledgebase or the community it represents impact the evaluation of data metrics? How can repositories use existing initiatives and experts around standardized data usage, data citation, and data metrics to responsibly report on data value?
12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. EST	Lunch Break
Session 2: Stakeholder use cases for data usage and utility metrics Session chair: Dr. Warren Kibbe Presentations (15 minutes + 5 minutes speaker transition time):
1:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. EST	Sean Coady, National Institutes of Health, Using Metrics to inform the Return on Investment (ROI): A Public Funder’s Perspective
1:20 p.m. – 1:35 p.m. EST	Dr. Robert Moritz, Institute for Systems Biology, Manager perspective: How do resource managers use metrics to articulate the size, impact and scope of their resource, and the stakeholders of the resource?
1:40 p.m. – 1:55 p.m. EST	Dr. Brian Byrd, University of Michigan, Community perspective: how do research communities help demonstrate and maximize the utility of a resource and the data it holds. How can metrics promote usage and utility of a resource, and justification for continued support?
Panel Discussion: 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. - presentation Q&A, discussion guided by framing questions Framing questions: What use cases and questions should all data repositories/knowledgebases have in common around dataset or repository impact? What metrics to evaluate reach and impact do funders, repository managers, data generators and data users want access to? How could established data metrics help in incentivizing researchers to publish data, or influence broader compliance with policy implementations or promotion and tenure processes?
3:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. EST	Closing Remarks
