ABSTRACT
The Database Community has a unique perspective on the challenges and solutions of long-term management of data and the value of data as a resource. In current computer science curricula, however, these insights are typically locked up in the context of the traditional Intro to Databases class that was developed years (or in some cases, decades) before the modern concept of Data Science arose and embedded in the discussion of legacy data management systems. We consider how to bring these concepts front and center into the emerging wave of Data Science courses, degree programs and even departments.

- Should we all be teaching "intro to data science" instead of "intro to databases"?
