Capstone Plenary Session

Intellectual Property Rights and the Emerging Information Infrastructure

The Computer Science and Telecommunications Board will be releasing a report this fall examining intellectual property issues associated with the emerging information infrastructure.  This panel of participants in that report will discuss the findings and their implications.   The study will explore:

  1. The nature, evolution, and use of the Internet, federal networks, and other interconnected networks;
  2. Trends in the generation, distribution, and protection of content that can be accessed via networks; and
  3. Technological capabilities for protecting databases and other copyrightable materials.

The objective will be to develop recommendations for reconciling technical capabilities with the legal issues raised in protecting intellectual property and to find ways of balancing the interests of publishers with those of the research, education, library, and federal networking communities.

Concluding Session

Knowledge: Creation, Organization and Use:  Conference Wrap up Session

Representatives of each of the conference tracks, with other leaders, will gather to reflect on what was learned, what was discussed, what we have accomplished and where we need to go in both research and practice.  What directions were indicated?

This is an excellent opportunity to learn something from those sessions you were unable to attend.
