[CODE4LIB] Invitation to participate in DC-2010 Linked Data Special Sessions
*** Apologies for cross-posting *** DC2010 is a week away, and I hope many of you are planning to attend. As co-convenor of the special sessions on linked data, I wanted to let you know what to expect from these meetings. While there's plenty of linked data related goodness throughout the conference program, the linked data special sessions are as follows: * Thu, 10/21, 2-3:30: Domain Models * Thu, 10/21, 4-5:30: Vocabulary Selection and Development * Fri, 10/22, 4-5:30: Breakout sessions Follow-up Karen Coyle and I will be co-moderating the 1st two sessions, and one or both of us will be moderating the discussions for the third. The 3 sessions will be run as a mini-un-conference within the larger space of DC2010. Beginning during registration at 8am on Wed, 10/20, there will be a signup sheet for lightening talks for the 1st two sessions. If you'll be in attendance, and would like to give a short, 5 minute talk on either data models for your domain, or work that you're doing on crafting an RDF vocabulary for a particular project, we'd like to devote at least 20-30 minutes for each of these two sessions to participation from attendees. The remainder of the sessions will be brainstorming sessions, similar to the session Karen and I ran at ALA in Washington this Summer: http://kcoyle.net/lld-ala.html The third session will be a mix of wrap up, discussion, identification of next steps, and collection of comments and ideas to share with both the DCMI Architecture Forum and the W3C Library Linked Data incubator group. The former will be meeting concurrently with our third session on Friday, and the latter will be having a Face to Face meeting over the weekend. If there are potential linked data use cases emerging from these sessions, groups may want to work on writing them up for submission to the W3C group. Attendees interested in discussion of developing application profiles based on the data models and vocabularies discussed in sessions one two may wish to attend the first half of Application Profiles for Linked Data: Models Requirements from 2-3:30pm on 10/22. If there is sufficient interest, a group of us could split off to prepare a short report to present at part 2 of that session. Further information about DC-2010, including program descriptions, is available online at: http://dc-2010.org/. Please let me know if you have any questions about this series of special sessions, and we look forward to seeing you at DC2010.
