> Alan Fekete and Judy Kay at the University of Sydney are organising a workshop as described below. The provenance community will
> be interested as the use of provenance metadata will be discussed as one of the enablers for human-centred data management.
> The workshop takes place on the back of the SIGMOD conference, which will have happened the week before in Melbourne, but it’s
> open to anybody by free registration.

> A discussion-oriented workshop will be held in Sydney, Australia on Tuesday 9 June 2015. Our focus is on human-centred data
> management, which encompasses both the management of data about people, and how people interact with data. Of course, we are
> especially excited about looking at how people interact with data about people! Among many topics of importance, we will be
> looking at privacy and access control for personal data, making usable interfaces for querying or tracking data, understanding
> provenance metadata, empirical studies of how data is used, etc.
>
> At the workshop, keynote talks will be given by Elisa Bertino (Purdue) and Paolo Missier (Newcastle UK). We welcome participation
> from researchers across different communities, including data management, provenance, privacy and security, HCI, and pervasive
> computing. The workshop will aim for extensive discussion and interaction; we will not be publishing traditional papers. We expect
> talks of many kinds including talks that summarise a body of work, suggest a vision, raise questions, define benchmarks, or
> discuss alternative approaches.  
>
> Attendance is free but requires registration: so if you wish to participate, please send an email to the organiser Alan Fekete
> (Sydney) at alan.fekete at sydney.edu.au <mailto:alan.fekete at sydney.edu.au>. If you wish to present, indicate the title of your
> proposed talk, and what kind it falls into.

> This workshop is supported by funding from the Faculty of Engineering & Information Technologies, The University of Sydney, under
