Hi everyone! I was at TPDL 2012 and I liked the conference. I'd like to propose a TPDL 2013 workshop "Practical Experiences with CIDOC CRM". But I've never organized a workshop before, so I'd need your help. Please provide some feedback: does this sound like a good venue and topic, would you be interested in co-organizing or participating, what topics it should cover...
Thanks in advance!
