[CODE4LIB] Call for Participation - Dealine Extended - Archives Unleashed: Web Archive Hackathon, University of Toronto, March 3-5

[Nicholas Worby]

Archives Unleashed: Web Archive Hackathon

Robarts Library, University of Toronto
3-5 March 2016
Travel grants available for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and 
contingent faculty
Applications due 7 December 2015



The World Wide Web has a profound impact on how we research and understand the 
past. The sheer amount of cultural information that is generated and, 
crucially, preserved every day in electronic form, presents exciting new 
opportunities for researchers. Much of this information is captured within web 
archives.

Web archives often contain hundreds of billions of web pages, ranging from 
individual homepages and social media posts, to institutional websites. These 
archives offer tremendous potential for social scientists and humanists, and 
the questions research may pose stretch across a multitude of fields. Scholars 
broaching topics dating back to the mid-1990s will find their projects enhanced 
by web data. Moreover, scholars hoping to study the evolution of cultural and 
societal phenomena will find a treasure trove of data in web archives. In 
short, web archives offer the ability to reconstruct large-scale traces of the 
relatively recent past.

While there has been considerable discussion about web archive tools and 
datasets, few forums or mechanisms for coordinated, mutually informing 
development efforts have been created. This hackathon presents an opportunity 
to collaboratively unleash our web collections, exploring cutting-edge research 
tools while fostering a broad-based consensus on future directions in web 
archive analysis.

This hackathon will bring together a small group of 20-30 participants to 
collaboratively develop new open-source tools and approaches to hackathon, and 
to kick-off collaboratively inspired research projects. Researchers should be 
comfortable with command line interactions, and knowledge of a scripting 
language such as Python strongly desired. By bringing together a group of 
like-minded scholars and programmers, we hope to begin building unified 
analytic production effort and to continue coalescing this nascent research 
community.

At this event, we hope to converge on a shared vision of future directions in 
the use of web archives for inquiry in the humanities and social sciences in 
order to build a community of practice around various web archive analytics 
platforms and tools.

Thanks to the generous support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research 
Council of Canada, the University of Waterloo's Department of History, the 
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science and the University of Waterloo, 
the University of Toronto Library, the School of Communication and Information 
at Rutgers University, the University of Québec in Outaouais, the Internet 
Archive, Library and Archives Canada, and Compute Canada, we will cover all 
meals and refreshments for attendees. We are also providing sample datasets for 
people to work on during the hackathon, or they are happy to use their own. 
Included datasets are:
· the .gov web archive covering the American government domain;
· the Government of Canada web archive from Library and Archives Canada;
· the Canadian Political Parties and Political Interest Groups web 
archive from the University of Toronto.



Those interested in participating should send a 250-word expression of interest 
and a CV to Ian Milligan (i2mil...@uwaterloo.ca) 
by 7 December 2015. This expression of interest should address the scholarly 
questions that you will be bringing to the hackathon, and what datasets you 
might be interested in either working with or bringing to the event. Applicants 
will be notified by 18 December 2015.



For graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers in contingent 
positions, we have a limited number of travel grants available. These grants 
can cover up to $750 in expenses. If you are in an eligible position, please 
indicate in your statement of interest that you would like to be considered for 
the travel grant. A letter of support from your graduate supervisor will also 
strengthen your application.

On behalf of the organizers,

Ian Milligan (University of Waterloo), Nathalie Casemajor (Université du Québec 
en Outaouais), Jimmy Lin (University of Waterloo), Matthew Weber (Rutgers 
University), Nicholas Worby (University of Toronto)

[CODE4LIB] Free December 3, 2015 CopyTalk webinar: Triennial 1201 Rulemaking Proceeding

[Patrick Newell]

Apologies for cross-posting.  Please forward to those who may be
interested.

The next CopyTalk webinar will be on December 3, 2015 (the first Thursday
of the month) at 2:00 pm Eastern/11:00 am. The topic will be the triennial
1201 rulemaking proceeding, this year’s announced exemptions, and proposals
for changing this regulatory nightmare.

For those not familiar with the 1201 rulemaking process, be ready to step
into DC wonk-land. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998
mandated that it is a violation to hack digital rights management (DRM)
employed by rights holders to protect access to digital works. The
objective was to prevent unauthorized users to access digital content. But
Congress understood that sometimes hacking DRM is necessary to make a
lawful use of a work. The rulemaking proceeding is used to identify those
lawful uses that are exempt from the 1201 provision.

Bored already? Don’t be, because this year’s rulemaking was one for the
books – one that led to consumer backlash and executive government
intervention, and…wait for it…Congressional action (not yet).

This story is real…and really ridiculous. Tune in for laughs and a good
dose of snarkiness.

Our speakers are Jonathan Band— familiar to many of you because Jonathan
has been ALA’s copyright legal counsel for years—and Sherwin Siy,
Vice-President for Legal Affairs at Public Knowledge, a civil society
organization that fights the good fight. The ALA Washington Office
collaborates with Public Knowledge on copyright, broadband, access to
government information and other information policy issues.

If we have more than 100 attendees, we are charged some ridiculous amount
that will come out of my pay check! So we ask that attendees watch the
webinar with colleagues when possible.

This is the URL that will get you into the webinar
 on December 3: .
Register as a guest and you’re in. Yes, it’s FREE because the Office for
Information Technology Policy and the Copyright Education Subcommittee want
to expand copyright awareness and education opportunities.

An archived copy will be available after the webinar.

If any issues arise during the webinar (and they always seem to),
information will be posted on this link:

I take back what I said earlier. Dublin Core records don’t exist, and I would 
like to re-enforce what was said by Benjamin, "Sometimes the Dublin Core 
documentation uses 'Dublin Core record' to describe XML records that use Dublin 
core vocabulary.” In this vane, I think think Dublin Core records are similar 
to unicorns, and I wish Library Land would stop alluding to them.

Benjamin points to as many as three different XML schema describing the 
implementation of Dublin Core:

 1. http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/simpledc20021212.xsd
 2. http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2008/02/11/dc.xsd
 3. http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2008/02/11/dcterms.xsd

None of these schema define a root element, and therefore it not possible to 
create an XML file that both: 1) validates against any of the schema, and 2) 
does not declare another schema to contain the Dublin Core data. If a given XML 
file does validate then it will not validate against the Dublin Core schema but 
instead the additional schema. An XML file must have one and only one root 
element, and the schemas listed above do not define root elements. 

One of my students identified a number of ways Dublin Core data could be 
embedded in HTML [1], but again, such files are not Dublin Core files. Instead, 
they are HTML files.

The idea of a “Dublin Core record” probably stems from the idea of a “MARC 
record” which is bad in and of itself. For example, how many times have you 
seen a delimited version of MARC called a ‘MARC record’? The idea of a "Dublin 
Core record” seems detrimental the understanding of what Dublin Core is an how 
it is implemented. 

Dublin Core is a set of element names coupled with very loose definitions of 
what those names are to contain and how they are to be applied. 

To what degree am I incorrect? What am I missing something?

Re: [CODE4LIB] dublin core files [and unicorns]

[Tom Johnson]

Hi Eric,

It seems to me that what you are missing is Dublin Core Abstract Model[1],
and related DCMI concepts like Description Set Profiles and Application
Profiles.

DCAM is overwrought and out of date, at this point, but it might help
clarify what Dublin Core folks are talking about when they talk about
"records" (a document that serializes a "description set"). Informally, we
might call such a record that mainly or exclusively uses Dublin Core or QDC
a "Dublin Core" record.

When being introduced to DC in class, years back, I recall being asked to
write such a serialization in a format of my choosing; allowing for
everything from XML to CSV to simple, ad-hoc key-value formats.
