wow, these are all terrific suggestions!

hadn't heard HIPPO or PICNIC before, but I'm totally adding them to my
lexicon.

And backronym is awesome in so many ways -- including the way Morgan used
it as a verb.  Swt!

At the 11th Annual IP/Gender, presenters will address the production of 
knowledge, commodification, definition, and valuation of women's work, and

intellectual property law that fosters social justice.

[MCN-L] Anybody using IMu for public API

2015-02-12 Thread Adrian Kingston
Hi all

We're (Te Papa) finally looking to use IMu a bit more from our EMu. We're 
thinking about a public facing API and a few more specialist uses. Does anyone 
have any experience they can share on successfully/unsuccessfully using IMu for 
external feeds/API etc?

Cheers

[MCN-L] FW: Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use of Collections Containing Orphan Works

2015-02-12 Thread Amalyah Keshet
For those in the DC area in particular;  for the rest of us in general:



Feb. 26 – Presenting the Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use of Collections 
Containing Orphan Works


American University Washington College of Law
4801 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington DC 20016

Faculty Lounge (Room 600)
Thursday, February 26, 2015
12:30 Lunch
1:15pm to 5:15pm Event
5:15 Reception

Registration Requested (herehttp://www.jotformpro.com/pijip/events)

Live webcast will be available on this page when the event begins. (No 
registration required)



You are invited to join us for this Fair Use Week event giving an introduction 
to the Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use of Collections Continuing Orphan 
Works followed by a series of panel discussions with legal experts, librarians, 
archivists, and other members of the community about how this Statement can be 
applied in practice.



Over the last several years, libraries, archives and other memory institutions 
have recognized that copyright law poses a significant obstacle to digital 
preservation of and online access to large segments of their collections. This 
problem especially acute for archives and collections that contain orphan 
works—i.e., works for which it is difficult or impossible to find rights 
holders who might give permission for their use. TheStatement of Best Practices 
in Fair Use of Collections Containing Orphan Works for Libraries, Archives, and 
Other Memory Institutions, released in December 2014, addresses how memory 
institutions can apply fair use to overcome these challenges.



You can find a copy of the Statement and supporting documents, including a 
series of explanatory white papers authored in anticipation of this event, at 
http://cmsimpact.org/orphanworks.

For more information about Fair Use Week, please see http://fairuseweek.org/.

 PS - on a more helpful note - as well as technical acronyms that people
 working in museums may come across, this can helpfully extend to include
 museum acronyms that technical people working with museums may encounter.
 I
 think of the Venn diagram of museums and tech - there are acronyms from
 both
 worlds, and some which arise in the intersection area, which some museum
 people won't have encountered before, and some tech people won't have
 either.

 Off the top of my head:

 Tech acronyms that might be useful for museum people includes
 JP2
 PTIF
 ConMS
 ColMS
 DAMS
 Solr
 CRM
 AWS
 XML
 JSON
 REST
 API
 OCR
 LOD
 RDF
 DRM
 UUID

 Museums-for-tech-people includes
 TGN
 AAT
 DACS
 VAGA
 ARS
 AAMD
 RTI
 ROI! (sorry)

 Somewhere in the middle includes
 METS
 TEI
 AIP
 ALTO
 EAD
 LIDO
 CIDOC-CRM
 OAIS
 OAI-PMH
 DCMI
 BagIt
 PREMIS


 My head feels better without that lot on top of it.

 Okay, I couldn't resist this call-out.



 Back in the day I had a brief foray at Eastman Kodak Company before their
 ill-fated attempt to move to digital.



 As the TWAIN API is probably still used in Museums for digital imaging,
 and while arguable there is general consensus that intended or not, TWAIN
 is considered an acronym for Technology Without An Interesting Name.  One
 of my all-time favs  : )

Not sure I saw CCO, CDWA, AACR2, CONA, DNG, XMP, and a few personal
favorites (maybe a little obscure for this project), FRBR (and the verb
form FRBRize), LOCKSS and CLOCKSS. Don't forget the old standby RTFM, and
perhaps most relevant, PCMCIA (people can't memorize computer industry
acronyms).
