[CODE4LIB] CALL for Proposals: Tenth International Conference on Open Repositories 2015

[Carol Minton Morris]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


November 13, 2015

Read it online: http://www.or2015.net/call-for-proposals/
Text only version: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/or11/CfP+markdown

The Tenth International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2015, will be held 
on June 8-11, 2015 in Indianapolis (Indiana, USA). The organizers are pleased 
to invite you to contribute to the program. This year's conference theme is: 

LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD: OPEN REPOSITORIES AT THE CROSSROADS

OR2015 is the tenth OR conference, and this year’s overarching theme reflects 
that milestone: Looking Back/Moving Forward: Open Repositories at the 
Crossroads. It is an opportunity to reflect on and to celebrate the 
transformative changes in repositories, scholarly communication and research 
data over the last decade. More critically however, it will also help to ensure 
that open repositories continue to play a key role in supporting, shaping and 
sharing those changes and an open agenda for research and scholarship.

OR2015 will provide an opportunity to explore the demands and roles now 
expected of both repositories and the staff who develop, support and manage 
them - and to prepare them for the challenges of the next decade. We welcome 
proposals on this theme, but also on the theoretical, practical, organizational 
or administrative topics related to digital repositories. We are particularly 
interested in:

1. Supporting Open Scholarship, Open Science, and Cultural Heritage Online

Papers are invited to consider how repositories can best support the needs of 
open science, open scholarship, and cultural heritage to make research as 
accessible as possible, including:

• Open access, open data and open educational resources
• Scholarly workflows, publishing and communicating scientific knowledge
• Compliance with funder mandates
• Considerations for cultural heritage and digital humanities resources

 2. Managing Research (and Open) Data

Papers are invited to consider how repositories can support the needs of 
research data. Areas of interest are:

• Data registries
• Storage
• Curation lifecycle management
• Management and digital preservation tools

3. Integrating with External Systems

Papers are invited to explore, evaluate, or demonstrate integration with 
external systems, including:

• CRIS and research management systems
• Notification systems (e.g. SHared Access Research Ecosystem (SHARE))
• Remote identifier services (e.g. ORCID, DOI, etc.)
• Preservation services
• Archival systems (e.g. CALM or Archivists’ Toolkit)

4. Re-using Repository Content

Papers are invited to showcase how repository content can be re-used in the 
context of:

• Discipline-based repositories and services
• Discovery services
• Integration of semantic technologies
• Repository networks

5. Exploring Metrics and Assessment

Papers are invited to present experiences on scholarly metrics and assessment 
services, particularly:

• Bibliometrics
• Downloads (e.g. COUNTER compliance)
• Analytics
• Altmetrics

6. Managing Rights

Papers are invited to examine the role of rights management in the context of 
open repositories, including:

• Research and scholarly communication outputs
• Licenses (e.g. Creative Commons, Open Data Commons)
• Embargoes
• Requirements of funder mandates

7. Developing and Training Staff

Papers are invited to consider the evolving role of staff who support and 
manage repositories across libraries, cultural heritage organizations, research 
offices and computer centres, especially: 

• New roles and responsibilities
• Training needs and opportunities
• Career path and recruitment
• Community support

8. Building the Perfect Repository

Papers are invited to look ahead to OR16 and beyond to consider what the 
perfect repository looks like:

• Key features and services
• Who would be its users?
• How would it transform scholarly communication?
• What lessons have been learned since the first OR?
• Or, is it a pipe dream and there's no such thing?

Submissions that demonstrate original and repository-related work outwith these 
themes will be considered, but preference will be given to submissions which 
address them.

KEY DATES

30 January 2015: Deadline for submissions and Scholarship Programme applications

27 March 2015: Submitters notified of acceptance to general conference

10 April 2015: Submitters notified of acceptance to Interest Groups

8-11 June 2015: OR2015 conference

SUBMISSION PROCESS

Conference Papers and Panels
Two to four-page proposals for presentations or panels that deal with digital 
repositories and repository services (see below for optional Proposal 
Templates). Abstracts of accepted papers will be made available through the 
conference's web site, and later they and associated materials will be made 
available in an open repository. In general, sessions will have three papers; 
panels may take an entire session. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main 
track will automatically be considered 

[CODE4LIB] VeraPDFa Consortium awarded Phase 1 of PREFORMA Call for Tender for PDF/A validation

[Rebecca McGuinness]

VeraPDFa Consortium partners the Open Preservation Foundation, the PDF
Association, Dual Lab, the Digital Preservation Coalition and KEEP
SOLUTIONS, have been awarded the PREFORMA first phase design contract under
the PDF/A strand.

PREFORMA (PREservation FORMAts for culture information/e-archives) is a
Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) project co-funded by the European
Commission, under its FP7-ICT Programme. PREFORMA's objective is to develop
open source validation tools for three file format standards including PDF,
TIFF and a video format to support long-term preservation in memory
institutions.

Starting work in November 2014, the VeraPDFa Consortium will gather
requirements from their members and the community in memory institutions
and industry to build an authoritative conformance checker for PDF/A-1,
PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3.

The proposed software architecture will be presented to the PREFORMA panel
in March 2015. The panel will then make a further selection amongst
suppliers from phase 1 (research) to proceed to phase 2 (development).

Consortium members have extensive experience in both PDF technology and
open source development necessary to ensure long term sustainability of the
product. The consortium is uniquely well-equipped to engage with the wide
range of communities and interests with a stake in PDF/A.

We will be running webinars and consultation sessions with our members and
the wider digital preservation community shortly. If you are interested in
contributing your requirements please do contact us:
be...@openpreservation.org or duff.john...@pdfa.org.
