[MCN-L] LODLAM Patterns - Call for Participation
We invite you to join a collaborative effort to identify design patterns for Linked Data in Libraries, Archives, and Museums (LODLAM). A LODLAM design pattern identifies common problems, solutions, and examples found in current LAM metadata standards and emerging Linked Data approaches. Participants are invited to use the LODLAM Proto-Patterns wiki (http://lodlampatterns.org/protopattern) as platform for identifying potential problems, solutions, and contexts. In the wiki these patterns can be edited, refined, classified, and further developed over time. The results of this study will be used to understand what patterns exist in our current environment and what patterns are desirable as we move towards Linked Data approaches. In other disciplines, design patterns have proven to be useful for broadening the debate about technical standards and as instructional tools. Your participation in this study will guide the development of a representation pattern library (http://lodlampatterns.org) that can be useful to Linked Data users, developers, students, and metadata creation professionals.

[MCN-L] LODLAM Patterns - Call for Participation
How interesting. I have just begun exploring the question of where we can go beyond bibliographic data in university press books. The wiki reminds me that one starting point is certainly use of TEI. Do you know of any presses that are adding extensive triples to their books? I'm thinking of creating statements wrapped around both the obvious foaf/location/time axes, as well as book index terms, but that would just be a start, I guess. Would be a bottomless pit unless someone figured out a pattern for how much data is necessary to ensure that a book's data are found easily, and weaved in with other LOD-LAM data? ari On Wed, Aug 7, 2013 at 3:06 PM, Richard Urban richardjurban at gmail.comwrote: We invite you to join a collaborative effort to identify design patterns for Linked Data in Libraries, Archives, and Museums (LODLAM).

[MCN-L] Internet of things-like digital projects
We're doing a lot of work in this space (production and conceptual), and happy to share our knowledge/projects with CFM. A couple of our most pertinent examples: http://www.mos.org/exhibits/hall-human-life collecting data from dozens of biometric nodes and devices from visitors, aggregating and visualizing the data (and allowing visitors to remotely explore the data sets) http://techcitement.com/culture/bright-ideas-in-indoor-location-awareness-from-bytelight/#.UgKCbG34KFZ http://blog.bytelight.com/post/40011523606/bytelight-illuminates-the-museum-of-science connecting the physical nodes in the museum environment to virtual content ubiquitously via light-based, inches-accurate location based services Marc E.
