A belated and sincere Happy New Year to all. I have brief comments on the
Collection-renaming conversation, but I could not resist getting this info into
the group after reading.
As an independent, unaffiliated Citizen Scientist, I don't have to worry about
this, but there are likely SIG members living in a "publish or perish"
situation. If so and you are looking for a publishing opportunity, this might
be a "win-win" for the SIG member and for our shared interest in promoting
interest and understanding about the #cidocCRM.
Here is a link to the call for chapter abstracts for the forthcoming De Gruyter
Saur book "Organization, Representation, and Description through the Digital
Age: Information in Libraries, Archives and Museums" to be edited by Caroline
Fuchs and Christine Angel of St. John's University, New York:

Given the described scope and focus of the editors' interest, this sure sounds
like a volume that should have at least a solid #cidocCRM overview/survey
chapter (and more).
BTW, if any SIG member has an interest in this publishing opportunity (Oyvind,
I'm looking at you ;-) ) and is short on time and/or energy and would be
interested in discussing a co-authoring relationship, my specific interest
would be in providing a compelling example of the use of a
cidocCRM/FRBRoo/PRESSoo "stack" in the modeling of a typical commercial
magazine publication to address the #TextSoup2SmartData challenge. I am very
pleased to be working on this challenge with folks from the PRImA Research Lab
and the EMOP (Early Modern OCR Project) folks from Texas A&M's IDHMC. If anyone
wants to know more or discuss possible collaboration, please do not hesitate to
contact me off-list.
Finally, I am interested if any SIG member is also a member of IAPR's TC#15,
the technical committee on GBR (graph-based reasoning) in the Pattern
Recognition field (http://iapr-tc15.greyc.fr/index.php). My PRImA buddy,
Apostolos Antonacopoulos, is about to introduce me to a former chair of the
committee so we can begin a conversation with these folks about our
#TextSoup2SmartData research collaboration.
