CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT AND INITIAL CALL FOR PAPERS
DC-2008 -- International Conference on Dublin Core
and Metadata Applications
http://dc2008.de/
"Metadata for Semantic and Social Applications"
22-26 September 2008
Berlin
The annual Dublin Core conferences bring together leading
metadata researchers and professionals from around the world.
DC-2008 in Berlin will be the eighth in a series of conferences
held previously in Tokyo, Florence, Seattle, Shanghai, Madrid,
Manzanillo, and Singapore. The conference is organized jointly
by the Competence Centre for Interoperable Metadata (KIM),
Max Planck Digital Library, Göttingen State and University
Library, the German National Library, Humboldt Universität zu
Berlin, and Dublin Core Metadata Initiative with sponsorship
from Wikimedia Deutschland.
CONFERENCE THEME
Metadata is a key aspect of our evolving infrastructure for
information management, social computing, and scientific
collaboration.
DC-2008 will focus on metadata challenges, solutions, and
innovation in initiatives and activities underlying semantic
and social applications. Metadata is part of the fabric of
social computing, which includes the use of wikis, blogs,
and tagging for collaboration and participation. Metadata
also underlies the development of semantic applications,
and the Semantic Web -- the representation and integration
of multimedia knowledge structures on the basis of semantic
models. These two trends flow together in applications such
as Wikipedia, where authors collectively create structured
information that can be extracted and used to enhance access
to and use of information sources.
Recent discussion has focused on how existing bibliographic
standards can be expressed as Semantic Web vocabularies
to facilitate the integration of library and cultural
heritage data with other types of data. Harnessing the
efforts of content providers and end-users to link, tag,
edit, and describe their information in interoperable ways
("participatory metadata") is a key step towards providing
knowledge environments that are scalable, self-correcting,
and evolvable.
DC-2008 will explore conceptual and practical issues in the
development and deployment of semantic and social applications
to meet the needs of specific communities of practice.
Papers, reports, and poster submissions are welcome on a wide
range of metadata topics, such as:
+ Metadata generation (methods, tools, and practices)
+ Semantic Web metadata and applications
+ Conceptual models and frameworks (e.g., RDF, DCAM, OAIS)
+ Social tagging
+ Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) and Simple Knowledge
Organization Systems (SKOS) (e.g., ontologies, taxonomies,
authority files, folksonomies, and thesauri)
+ Metadata in e-Science and grid applications
+ Metadata interoperability and internationalization
+ Metadata quality, normalization, and mapping
+ Cross-domain metadata uses (e.g., recordkeeping,
preservation, institutional repositories)
+ Vocabulary registries and registry services
+ Domain metadata (e.g., for corporations, cultural memory
institutions, education, government, and scientific fields)
+ Application profiles
+ Accessibility metadata
+ Search engines and metadata
+ Metadata principles, guidelines, and best practices
+ Bibliographic standards (e.g., Resource Description and Access
(RDA), Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR),
subject headings) as Semantic Web vocabularies
SUBMISSIONS:
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the International
Program Committee and published in the conference proceedings.
The Committee is soliciting paper contributions of the
following three types:
-- FULL PAPERS (8 to 10 pages)
Full papers either describe innovative original work in
detail or provide critical, well-referenced overviews of key
developments or good practice in the areas outlined above.
Full papers will be assessed using the following criteria:
o Originality of the approach to implementation
o Generalizability of the methods and results described
o Quality of the contribution to the implementation community
o Significance of the results presented
o Clarity of presentation
-- PROJECT REPORTS (4 pages)
Project reports describe a specific model, application, or
activity in a concise, prescribed format. Project reports
will be assessed using the following criteria:
o Conciseness and completeness of technical description
o Usability of the technical description by other potential
implementers
o Clarity of presentation
Paper submissions in both categories must be in English and
will be published in both the print and the official electronic
versions of the conference proceedings. Accepted papers must
be presented in Berlin by at least one of their authors.

Hi, A tentative outline was proposed by Dan Scott on the code4libcon list in October: * Quick intro to Evergreen * Installing Evergreen prereqs on Debian, Ubuntu, and Gentoo (possibly concurrent with Installing VMWare Player for Windows folk) ** Half-hour coffee break / help people finish up / let Gentoo people finish their prereq compiles * Installing OpenSRF and Evergreen * Configuring basic connectivity using 'localhost' and testing connections via srfsh / catalog / staff client * Configuring the system with the whiz-bang Django admin tool * Test basic staff client tasks: copy cataloging, adding patrons, circulating books ** Lunch * Bulk-loading data: bib records, holdings, patrons * Evergreen internals: adding new export methods, etc. Naturally, this will have to be trimmed to suit the new format. Anything in particular you would like to see? -bill -- Bill Erickson | VP, Software Development & Integration | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | web: http://esilibrary.com

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib http irc channel
Karen,
The server should be changed to:
irc.freenode.net
and the channel is:
#code4lib
I guess we'll see in a minute if that works for you,
-Ross.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib http irc channel
Hrm. I just replicated this problem. Same issue, you can see
conversation, but when you try to say anything, you get this error
message.
I'm not sure who manages linuxinlibraries.com, but it's not directly
related to code4lib. Perhaps it's time for us to run an IRC cgi
client on a code4lib server?

Your nick showed up in the room earlier today, and a few others have
been using the linuxinlibraries.com site, but it does seem to be a
little flaky.
This site worked just now when I tried it: http://ircatwork.com/

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib video
Hi Jeremy, I'll work on the video if you like. I can help otherwise too. Currently I've made reservations to come down Sunday. Perhaps I'll need to come down a day earlier. What do you guys need help on? Regarding video, what I would love to do is use software that can combine video, desktop, and sound. Last year, the best option that was suggested (by Alan Darnell) was Wirecast by Vara Software (http://www.varasoftware.com/products/wirecast/download.html). It is primarily for web casting (which could be an option), but it combines multiple cameras and desktop capture, and it archives too. This archive could be titled and converted to postable formats. Does the conference have $450 that can be spared for it? Could OSU donate it? Or, would your library want a copy? It could be used year after year. I've downloaded the demo this morning, and have my video camera. I'll make a spoof with it and see what we can do. For it to work right, we'd need two machines for people to use (windows / mac.) There is a remote client that people can add to their own laptops, making a video stream available to the server. That might work, but then again it might be too much of a pain for the 5 minutes between talks. Or, we'd have to set everyone up ahead of time. Ideally there'd be a pc/mac for me (or whoever was in charge of video) to sit at that was the server. Then I would direct, basically, what is cast, switching between views. I can dig for more options if that doesn't sound good. Also, I don't know if I have the time, but I'd like to do the 2007 video mashup that I never accomplished last year. That could be shown at the opening, or otherwise. Or we could combine slideshows of last year's images, add this year's images for those who want to add them. Shouldn't be too hard to do.

I'm no expert on facebook (I think I've logged into my account all of twice), but I was the archtiect and wrote most of the framework for the first incarnation of the portal for The George Washington University, so I've done some similar linkages before. If you have the ability to add an extra field to your user table, or add a secondary table, I would suggest adding a special 'facebook-only' password in your system. (it could be user supplied, or system generated). The idea of this extra password is that it would _only_ allow read-only access through certain methods, and not the user's typical access. You can provide them a link to log into their account and get other information, but then they'd have to supply their normal password. With the extra password, it's something that could be changed without having to completely remove the user's account and recreating it -- so if something should get shared accidentally, you can remove access. You would also require the user to do something to add this field (it could generate a value, then give them the code they need to insert into Facebook), so they would have to explicitly opt-in. You also have the advantage that it'd require a little bit of extra effort if someone were to take a brute-force approach to get account information. (not that they would, but you never know). I'd be interested to know if anyone sees any flaws with my logic and/or has an alternate solution. - Joe Hourcle
