[MCN-L] iPad security
Assuming you can create an .epub file from your archival files (maybe look at using Calibre for this), you can then open up iTunes, click on Add to Library to import the .epub file, and then sync with the iPads. I haven't tried doing this across large numbers of devices and don't know if you hit any iTunes DRM issues. Hope that helps anyway.

My suggestion in terms of theft prevention is simply to run a credit card slip for the cost of the device plus $100-150, which you then destroy when they return it intact.

[MCN-L] Online Views of Electronic Signage
Hi Scott, I did a presentation at InfoComm last June that may be useful. I endeavored to build an outline for planning the various aspects of a display/ interactive project for various channels in terms of objectives, costs and workflow. Each project has decision points in the areas of Communications mode (Broadcast, On Demand or Interactive), Software platform (Packaged, Customized package or Custom), Hardware Infrastructure (Where? What? Size? Supporting infrastructure), and Content Sources Workflow (What is it? Can it be re-used? If so, what is the transformation?). Decisions in each of these areas impact the budget and help to define the stakeholders for the overall project. I uploaded the presentation slides to slideshare, which messed up the formatting a bit. It starts with a lot of pictures of artwork to give context to a non-museum crowd. Let me know if larger images of anything would be useful. http://www.slideshare.net/eneelyAIC/integrating-broadcast-and-interactive-displays-to-create-a-unique-visitor-experience Thanks, Liz On Dec 15, 2010, at 4:45 PM, Scott Sayre wrote: Hi Folks- I'm developing a section of a course on electronic signage and wayfinding systems in museums.

[MCN-L] CALL FOR PAPERS: Classification Ontology, The Hague 19-20 September 2011
*** Apologies for cross-posting *** SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS CLASSIFICATION AND ONTOLOGY: Formal Approaches and Access to Knowledge International UDC Seminar 2011 VENUE: The Hague, National Library of the Netherlands (Koninklijke Bibliotheek) DATE: 19-20 September 2011 WEBSITE: http://seminar.udcc.org/2011/ CONTACT: seminar2011 at udcc.org The difference between bibliographic knowledge classifications and ontologies resides in their particular purpose/function, and levels of formality. However, they are both based on observation and reasoning (ontological analysis) and share some structural principles and elements. In principle, automatic processing of knowledge classifications is significant whenever there is a need to support intuitive services. For instance, ontology-like representations of classifications are recognized as potentially important facilitators in creating a web of linked data (the semantic web). The objective of this conference is to promote collaboration and exchange of expertise between the bibliographic, the semantic web and the AI domains. We hope to learn more about methods in ontology modelling and whether these may be used to improve and formalise the data models of bibliographic classifications and enhance their value in information discovery. Papers are now invited covering the following topics: 1. Modelling and representation of knowledge classifications 2. Standards and solutions for innovative and high-quality classification data processing 3. Applications and implementations of classification structures as ontologies 4.Theoretical considerations of the role of knowledge classifications The proposals should be of interest to academic and research communities dealing with conceptual modelling, information systems design, knowledge organization, knowledge engineering, semantic interoperability and information integration, and natural-language processing. Read more and download the full text of the CFP at the conference website http://seminar.udcc.org/2011/. Contributions may include conference papers and posters. Authors should submit a proposal in the form of an extended abstract (1000-1200 words including references, for papers, and 500-600 words for posters). To submit proposal online go to the conference website. Conference proceedings will be published by Ergon Verlag and will be distributed at the conference. IMPORTANT DATES:30 Jan 2011Paper proposal submission deadline 28 Feb 2011Notification of acceptance 01 Apr 2011Paper submission ORGANIZER: Classification and Ontology is the third biennial conference in a series of UDC Seminars organized by the Universal Decimal Classification Consortium (UDC Consortium) and hosted by Koninklijke Bibliotheek (The National Library of Netherlands). UDCC is a not-for-profit organization, based in The Hague, established to maintain and distribute the UDC and to support its use and development.
