[MCN-L] 2nd try: NEH Sponsored Training and Symposium Opportunities

2016-06-15 Thread Carla Schroer 
Hi again,
It looks like this list only supports plain text.  Here's my announcement 
cleaned up, and apologies to all. 

Cultural Heritage Imaging (CHI) is rolling out a two-year training program 
entitled “Advanced Imaging Skills for Humanities Collections Professionals” 
(http://culturalheritageimaging.org/What_We_Do/Projects/neh-training/).

The two-year project, sponsored by a grant from the National Endowment for the 
Humanities, will expand CHI's work in providing training in Reflectance 
Transformation Imaging (RTI) and photogrammetry 
(http://culturalheritageimaging.org/training), including a two-day symposium at 
the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2017. These imaging technologies are powerful 
skills to acquire for the documentation, preservation, analysis, and digital 
access of materials in humanities collections of all sizes. 
 
1. Symposium in March 2017: Save the Dates!
(http://culturalheritageimaging.org/What_We_Do/Projects/neh-training/symposium/index.html)

Illumination of Material Culture: A Symposium on Computational Photography and 
Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) at The Met on March 7-8, 2017. 
 
The symposium is open to all who are applying RTI and related computational 
photography techniques or are exploring their use in collections. The symposium 
will bring together approximately 90 conservators and humanities collections 
professionals, photographers, curators, archivists, imaging experts, 
researchers, and technology experts to present the latest updates to RTI 
technology and related imaging techniques.
 
Symposium registration begins Monday, September 12, 2016.
 
2. 2016 Sponsored 4-Day Training Classes: Apply Now
 
Apply now for these classes in 2016:
(http://culturalheritageimaging.org/What_We_Do/Projects/neh-training/apply.html)
    ·   RTI: de Young Museum, San Francisco, September 27–30, 2016
    ·   RTI: Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), October 17–20, 2016
 
Note: The grant-sponsored training is for collections professionals working 
with public or nonprofit humanities collections in the United States. This 
includes art, history, archaeology, libraries, and archives. The application 
process gives priority to professionals at small institutions with staffs of 25 
FTE or fewer.
 
3. 2017 Sponsored 4-day training classes
 
Check the training application page 
(http://culturalheritageimaging.org/What_We_Do/Projects/neh-training/apply.html)
 on September 12, 2016 for class dates and to apply.

    ·   Photogrammetry: Classics Department, University of Texas at Austin, 
Spring 2017
    ·   RTI: Yale University, Spring 2017
    ·   Photogrammetry: Museum Conservation Institute, Smithsonian, Summer 
2017
    ·   Photogrammetry: Cultural Heritage Imaging studio, San Francisco, 
2017
 

In addition, the project will deliver a photogrammetry class that is restricted 
to members of the Association of North American Graduate Programs In 
Conservation (ANAGPIC) programs and will be held in Buffalo, New York, August 
8–11, 2016. 
 
CHI regularly offers fee-based training programs in RTI and photogrammetry 
(http://culturalheritageimaging.org/Technologies/Overview/index.html) to 
everyone. We just announced a September 19-22 Photogrammetry class in San 
Francisco. (http://culturalheritageimaging.org/training)

[MCN-L] NKOS Workshop - Second Call for Presentations and Demos

2016-06-15 Thread DCMI Announce 
===Please excuse the cross-posting===

*NKOS Workshop: Second Call for Presentations and Demos*

*The 16th European NKOS workshop will take place on Saturday 15th October
as part of the International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata
Applications 2016 (DC 2016) in Copenhagen, Denmark.*


*:: Submission deadline:* Friday, 8 July 2016 *(now extended!)*
*:: Notification of acceptance:* Tuesday, 16th August 2016
*:: Email proposal submissions to:* koraljka.go...@lnu.se
*:: Additional Workshop information:*
https://at-web1.comp.glam.ac.uk/pages/research/hypermedia/nkos/nkos2016-dc/call-for-papers.html

*:: DC-2016 Conference website:*
http://dcevents.dublincore.org/IntConf/dc-2016


*Proposals are invited for the following:*

a) *Presentations* (typically 20 minutes plus discussion time, potentially
longer if warranted) on work related to the themes of the workshop (see
below). An option for a short 5 minute project report presentation is also
possible.

b) *Demos* on work related to the themes of the workshop (see below).


*Please email proposals* (maximum 1000 words for presentations and 500
words for demos, including aims, methods, main findings and underlying
work, relevance to themes of workshop) to Koraljka Golub (
koraljka.go...@lnu.se). Proposals will be peer-reviewed by the program
committee. At least one presentation author needs to register for the
workshop (this is a strict requirement).


*Themes for the 16th NKOS workshop will be:*

(1) KOS Alignment. KOS alignment or terminology mapping plays a vital role
in NKOS for many years. This year we want to sort out the needs (use cases)
of KOS alignments in the new environment of Linked Open Data. We plan to
collect methodologies, best practices, guidelines and tools. This includes
manual and automatic alignments.
(2) KOS Linked Open Data. Recent years have seen an increasing trend to
publication of KOS as Linked Data vocabularies. We need discussion of
practical initiatives to link between congruent vocabularies and provide
effective web services and APIs so that applications can build upon them.
(3) Subject metadata for research data. With increasing recognition of the
need to manage research data as part of universities research output,
subject metadata represent particular challenges that need to be addressed
from theoretical as well as practical perspectives. We plan to discuss
existing issues, especially in terms of interoperability across disciplines
as well as applications, and strive towards establishment of best practices
and guidelines.

*Further timely presentations/demonstrations will be selected from the
following topics in the CfP:*

(4) KOS-based recommender systems. The suggestion of the right meaningful
concepts is a mission critical phase for searchers in modern DL.
(5) Meaningful Concept Display and Meaningful Visualization of KOS.
(6) Standards developments.
(7) Evaluation of KOS-based systems – methods and practical experience.

*KOS applications are a regular and important part of NKOS workshops.
Example topics include:*

(8) KOS in e-Research metadata contexts - intersection between research
data, KOS, Semantic web.
(9) Social tagging. What is the role of social tagging and informal
knowledge structures versus established KOS? (How) can tagging be guided
and informed by KOS?
(10) Users interaction with KOS in the online environment.
(11) KOS and learning. What is required to use KOS effectively to convey
meaning, to assist users to express their information needs to assist in
sense making and learning?
(12) Multilingual and Interdisciplinary KOS applications and tools.
(13) Specific domains, such as environmental, medical, new application
contexts, etc.

After the workshop, copies of both proposals and presentations will be made
available on both the workshop website and the DC-2016 conference website.
Submissions are subject to the DCMI copyright provisions (
http://dcevents.dublincore.org/IntConf/dc-2016/about/submissions#copyrightNotice).
Presentations from the workshop may be encouraged to be submitted as
extended papers for a peer reviewed journal publication.
