It is a Joint Meeting of ISKO UK, IRSG (Information Retrieval Special Interest Group of BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT) and DCMI (Dublin Core Metadata Initiative). The day will be modular: attendance in the morning is optional, with a choice of workshop or tutorial, while the afternoon program is for everyone. *MORNING OPTIONS:* *a) Tutorial: Metadata management in Sharepoint (10.00 - 12.00)* While Sharepoint 2013 offers more metadata capabilities than ever before, the range of options can make it hard to implement the most effective way. Management of controlled vocabularies is a particular challenge. This tutorial will enable you to pick the brains of an experienced consultant, Marc Stephenson of Metataxis. *b) Workshop: Vocabularies and the potential for linkage (9.30 - 12.30)* Various approaches to the linkage of value vocabularies (KOSs) and/or element set vocabularies (metadata schemas) will be described by *Pierre-Yves Vandenbussche* (Fujitsu, Ireland), *Dan Brickley* (Google), *Gordon Dunsire* and *Stella Dextre Clarke*, with emphasis on the opportunities as well as the barriers to widespread adoption. After that is a case study from *Johan De Smedt* and *Agis Papantoniou*, both of TenForce, that draws on more than one technique. The subsequent discussion will address the prospects for take-up, aiming to help participants with application or development of similar techniques and projects. *AFTERNOON MEETING (Plenary, 14.00 - 18.00)* --*Martin White*: The importance of metadata for high quality Search --*Sean Bechhofer*: Wf4Ever: metadata for Research Objects --*Mark Sandler*: Semantic Media: a new paradigm for navigable content for the 21st century --*Richard Ranft*: Enhancing discovery of the British Library's audio collections --*Antoine Isaac*: A portrait of Europeana as a Linked Open Data case (in progress) --*Andrew MacFarlane*: Analysing creative image search queries to determine important facets Followed by networking, wine and nibbles from 18.00. *REGISTRATION FEE BOOKING:* --*Full day,* including lunch and a choice of tutorial or workshop: £120 (or £70 for members of ISKO, IRSG or DCMI and for full-time students); --*Afternoon only:* £60 (or £25 for members of ISKO, IRSG or DCMI and for full-time students). --*Registration: * http://www.iskouk.org/events/metadata_June_2014.htm#Bookinghttp://www.iskouk.org/events/metadata_June_2014.htm#introduction *To avoid disappointment, please don't delay in booking.* - *About ISKO UK* ISKO (International Society for Knowledge Organization) is a not-for-profit scientific/professional association with the objective of promoting research and communication in the domain of knowledge organization, within the broad field of information science and related disciplines.

[CODE4LIB] Learn about open source software in libraries during a free webinar on February 25th
Heard about open source software but not sure it makes sense for your library? Curious to know what open source software packages for libraries are out there? With funding from the Mellon Foundation, LYRASIS stewards the FOSS4LIB.org site: helping libraries decide IF and WHICH open source software is right for them. On February 25th from 10am to 11am Eastern U.S. time (15.00 to 16.00 UTC), I'll be presenting a free webinar that describes the features and plans for the site. Like the FOSS4LIB.org website itself, this webinar is open to members and non-members of LYRASIS. To register for tomorrow's webinar or one of the ones later this year, just send me an e-mail.

Re: [CODE4LIB] A couple quick questions for Hydra or Islandora users
Hi all, I am a librarian not a developer, nor am I the decision maker on software choices, but I thought I would comment on the Hydra and Islandora discussion to just add the UCLA perspective. We decided to stop doing a home-grown digital library system a few years ago, and we chose Islandora over Hydra at least for the next year or so. We're definitely committed to Fedora in the long term, and we might try out Hydra in addition to Islandora. With a small shop of talented Java developers (4 full-time when fully staffed), we felt like we needed to select a system that we could contract with additional vendors for special projects. We saw Islandora with PHP and Drupal as being an easier match for hiring contract workers as opposed to Ruby on Rails. Nor did we have any Ruby on Rails experience. In addition, the platform selected for the UCLA Library website and the UCLA website is Drupal, so we feel like there is more opportunity to collaborate. Relative to the Drupal and Islandora issue, we contracted for the development of the Islandora Sync project to alleviate the Islandora restrictions on using Drupal to its fullest. Best, Lisa -- Elizabeth Lisa McAulay Librarian for Digital Collection Development UCLA Digital Library Program On Feb 21, 2014, at 4:31 PM, Fleming, Declan dflem...@ucsd.edu wrote: Hiya - 1) after years of doing everything ourselves, we decided to join the Hydra community for our discovery and display layer (and soon for simple ingest and metadata edit). We still have a custom back end repo with an API that can make it look enough like Fedora that we can use stock Hydra. We were initially drawn to Islandora because we love Drupal, but found that Islandora's approach to Drupal was going to be pretty code intensive to modify the way we wanted. Since we knew we'd be doing a lot of coding anyway, we gave Hydra a shot and, with help from DCE (consulting firm Data Curation Experts who did some of the core ActiveFedora work), we had a prototype up in 3 months, and just last week we announced our public beta: http://library.ucsd.edu/dc DSpace didn't fit our metadata or digital object complexity needs. We've been working with complex objects for years, devolving lots of metadata standards into RDF and putting them all into a central triple store. For an example of a complex research data object: http://library.ucsd.edu/dc/object/bb08204197 On the right panel, tweak the twiddles to see the hierarchical metadata and subfiles, or click the Data at Redshift=1.1 (RD0025) Components link at the top of the right column to see the whole structure. The killer feature of Hydra was that our Java shop could absorb Ruby quickly enough to be productive quickly, due in NO small part to the community surrounding Hydra. Forums, IRC, and github got us going very quickly. The steering committee is quite active and knows how to talk innocent universities into hosting its events ;) 2) I think I've touched on the dev experience - Ruby has been great, and the test driven mentality has made our code very strong and reusable. We've also formalized an internal Agile method with regular 2 week sprints. Having a known code base to start from helped with this. Your migration question is interesting. Like I said before, we've still got our locally developed backed repo, but we're seriously investing in Fedora 4 (by committing FTE to its development) so that we could possibly move to it in the future so that all of our repo work will be OSS and sharable. I do love that there are at least two vibrant communities in this space, and it kinda broke my heart to pick one over the other. I keep a close eye on the amazing work coming out of Islandora and dream of an architecture where we can slap these things together with a common repo and a thick (or maybe thin and smart) API.
