DC-2022 CFP - Deadline extended to May 9, 2022

DC-2022: Metadata Innovation: Inclusivity, Intelligence, and Interoperability Call for Participation Venue: University of Washington, Seattle, USA Mode: Virtual and (pandemic permitting) in-person In-Person date: October 3rd - October 5th Virtual date: October 3rd - October 14th Website: https://www.dublincore.org/conferences/2022/ Deadline extended to May 9, 2022 The Dublin Core™ community has been a fertile ground for researchers, educators, practitioners and developers to exchange and share ideas, knowledge, experience, and innovative projects on metadata for more than two decades. This year the DC-2022 conference expands its themes to the whole spectrum of innovation in metadata design, implementation & best practices, with a special focus on challenges and opportunities in the data-intensive and diverse world. Two years into the pandemic, the changes and rising needs for information justice and equity prompted the metadata community to reexamine how the metadata community address the biases and prejudice existed in the metadata tools and practices. Creating just, equitable representation of data and information resources and entities plays a significant role in promoting diversity and inclusion. These social and cultural changes coupled with the data-intensive, data-dependent, and data-driven environment demand metadata to be innovative, intelligent, interoperable, sharable, and reusable. Metadata as one of the underpinning dimensions for the digital data era has never been more critical than today. Fashionable fields such as linked (open) data, research data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital humanities and open science are dependent upon quality metadata to operate and perform effectively. Besides supporting information and data management, discovery, sharing, conservation, and reuse, metadata has become an invaluable source for analytics and knowledge discovery and make information more accessible for diverse communities. The parallel growth of data and metadata offers new challenges and opportunities for the metadata community to rethink and reposition metadata research and practice in order to stay ahead of the next wave of developments in data-driven environments and diverse cultures. Since the late 1990s, the Dublin Core™ conference has been a major venue for discussions on where innovation opportunities for metadata might lie and where existing good practices may be consolidated. The conferences have drawn participants not only from universities, research institutions and LAMs (libraries, archives, and museums), but also from corporations and government agencies. Continuing the legacy of the Dublin Core™ conferences from the last two decades, the DC-2022 conference seeks inspirational submissions on developments of innovative tools, practices, and solutions, while addressing theoretical, analytical, and empirical aspects of metadata. Submissions in form of papers, reports, posters, panels, tutorials, workshops and demonstrations are welcome in the following broad categories of metadata design, deployment and best practices: Metadata principles, guidelines, and best practices Curation, governance, and sustainability Conceptual models and frameworks Entity management Lessons from implementation Interoperability and harmonization Metadata quality and validation Metadata and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) Metadata for research data Metadata analytics, AI, and knowledge graph Metadata in digital humanities.

by DCMI Announce 06 Apr '22

06 Apr '22

This is a final reminder for the registration. This webinar is scheduled for April 7, 2022, at 16:00 UTC and is free for DCMI members. (convert this time to your local timezone here - https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=DCMI+Webinar+-+Ap…) This Webinar will be hosted by ASIS&T. Registration for DCMI webinars is currently free, but you will need to use the discount code '*dcmi25*' when you register. Register Here - https://associationforinformationscienceandtechnologyasist.growthzoneapp.co… This webinar addresses ontologies for the semantic web and how FAIR principles could be applied to ontologies. This includes metadata best practices and registries to publish the ontologies as Linked Open Vocabularies. Objectives are: To become familiar with ontologies for the semantic web and linked data principles; To become familiar with FAIR principles; To understand how FAIR principles could be applied to ontologies. Speaker: Dr. María Poveda-Villalón, associate professor, Artificial Intelligence Department of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid Find more on https://www.dublincore.org/news/2022/04-06_webinar-applying-fair-principles…. <https://www.dublincore.org/news/2022/04-06_webinar-applying-fair-principles…>
