When is data considered "at risk"? This special focus session highlights the U.S. Geological Survey Data at Risk (DaR) Project, which works with non-information professionals to overcome the cultural and organizational changes required to effectively manage and share data. The project developed an algorithm to rank data rescue projects by risk and prioritize preservation efforts. Through group activities and discussions, participants are encouraged to provide feedback and share how their organizations define risk.
