[MCN-L] DCMI Webinar - __May 19__ (correction) Modeling Intangible Entities in the Cultural Domains for Digital Archiving Inbox

2021-05-10 Thread DCMI Announce
This webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, May 19th, 2021, 21:00 UTC and
is free (but registration required).

There are a variety of new cultural domains for which we need to
design metadata schemas. It is widely recognized that data models are
crucial to design metadata schemas – we need to identify objects for
which we create metadata. This webinar aims to present a set of
generalized data models designed for metadata about resources in
cultural domains such as intangible cultural heritage and popular
culture. The presenter will first introduce the generalized data
models and then discuss data models designed in the Media Arts
Database project and related projects in which they are involved.

Learning objectives for the webinar

* Data Modeling for Digital Archiving of Cultural Entities:
Fundamental aspects to model tangible/intangible entities in the
cultural domains for organizing them as a digital collection.

* Data Modeling for Media Arts (manga (Japanese comics), animation,
video games, new media arts and performing arts): Data models as a
foundation for metadata schema development in new cultural domains as
a case study.

* From Item-centric organization to Content-oriented organization of
metadata for digital collections: Shift in the organization for
digital collections from traditional item-centric resource
organization to content-oriented resource organization in the Internet
and Linked Open Data environments.

[MCN-L] Position Announcement: Project Manager for Research & Strategy

2021-05-10 Thread Hannah Ballard
Dear Colleagues,

Educopia Institute is pleased to share a new job announcement!

We are now hiring a
Project
Manager  for Research &
Strategy who will be responsible for supporting the extensive portfolio of
research and consulting projects within Educopia’s Research & Strategy
program.

The Project Manager will support an array of collaborative work with our
project teams and partners. The Project Manager position requires a
dedication to responsible management of schedules and scopes, stakeholder
expectations, data management, templatization of tools and other project
resources, and documentation of key findings. The ideal candidate is
passionate about community-based research, collective action, continuous
improvement, and making project findings relevant and legible to staff and
partners. We expect all candidates to demonstrate empathy and
intentionality in their interpersonal communication.

Salary range is $60-65k/year, commensurate with experience, with additional
funding for professional development and travel. Benefits include 24
vacation days per year (accruing monthly) and 10 paid holidays, as well as
insurance options and retirement match options. The person hired in this
role will also be provided with a computer stipend to set up their remote
workspace.

Educopia supports its staff members in developing their professional
skills. Professional development may include third-party training or
workshops, staff-to-staff training and peer learning, and encouragement to
read/research tools and resources that will contribute to their
professional success.

To apply: please submit a resume, cover letter, and three professional
references to Emma de Francisco .

We will begin reviewing applications on June 1, 2021 and we will continue
to welcome applications until the position is filled.

Educopia Institute is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer and
welcomes all qualified applicants. We also believe that traditional hiring
and recruitment practices disproportionately impact the most marginalized
people in society in negative ways, including people of color, people from
working class backgrounds, women, and LGBTQIA people. Because we believe
that collective action is most powerful in creating change when it is
informed by many different lived experiences, we strongly encourage
applications from people with these identities or who are members of other
marginalized communities.

To receive future job postings and other news from Educopia Institute, sign
up for our quarterly newsletter .

With best wishes,

Hannah
