*
You are most cordially invited to a seminar on

*NOGs and Networks for Enabling Science*

jointly organized by the ICTP Science, Technology and Innovation Unit 
and the Marie Curie Library:

*Monday, 13 June at 3 p.m
Venue: Marie Curie Library**
*

Two short talks delivered by *
*

*
*

*Philip Smith* and *Steve Song*

(Network Startup Resource Center <https://nsrc.org>, University of 
Oregon, USA)**


will address the human development of the Internet through the 
communities of Network Operator Groups around the world, followed by an 
exploration of the physical cartography of the Internet. The second talk 
will highlight the need for greater transparency of open data to make 
the Internet more available and affordable, including improved access to 
global scientific communities, remote scientific instruments, and shared 
data resources.


ABSTRACTS


*P. Smith: NOGs and their impacts on Internet infrastructure development
*

Network Operator Groups have had a profound impact on the growth of the 
global Internet since the mid 1990s. Early this century saw the 
formation of more and more regional and country NOGs, as more operations 
communities realised the benefit that collaboration, knowledge sharing, 
and training brings. The talk looks at the history of the network 
operator groups, and discusses some of the impacts of the NOG phenomenon 
of this century


*S. Song: Internet Infrastructure and Open Data*

Public availability of information about internet infrastructure is 
extremely variable, as is the quality of that information. Governments 
and commercial investors are unable to make informed decisions on 
investment in internet infrastructure in underserved regions without 
access to holistic, standards-based information about internet 
infrastructure. Open data standards can ensure that information gathered 
on internet networks will be comparable, aggregatable, accessible, 
reusable, and conform to commonly agreed upon definitions of access.
