***********Apologies for Cross-Posting*********** 16th European Networked Knowledge Organization Systems (NKOS) Workshop at the *International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications 2016 (DC 2016)* *Call for Presentations and Demos* The 16th European NKOS workshop will take place on Saturday 15th October as part of DC 2016 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Important Dates: *Submission deadline:* Friday, 1 July 2016 *Notification of acceptance:* Tuesday, 16th August 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.golub(a)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). After the workshop, copies of both proposals and presentations will be made available on the workshop website as well as be subject to the DCMI copyright provisions ( http://dcevents.dublincore.org/IntConf/dc-2016/about/submissions#copyrightN…) Presentations from the workshop may be encouraged to be submitted as extended papers for a peer reviewed journal publication. *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. More information on the workshop can be found under https://at-web1.comp.glam.ac.uk/pages/research/hypermedia/nkos/nkos2016-dc/… We hope to see you in Copenhagen, Denmark.

DCMI Webinar Series: Generic Tools and Methods for SKOS-based Concept Schemes
by DCMI Announce 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

*******PLEASE EXCUSE THE CROSS-POSTING******* *DCMI/ASIST Joint Webinar Series in partnership with AIMS: Agricultural Information Management Standards* SKOS in Two Parts: Generic Tools and Methods for SKOS-based Concept Schemes *with Joachim Neubert (ZBW Leibniz Information Centre for Economics, Germany) & Osma Suominen (National Library of Finland)* *====================================================* *:: Dates:* Wednesday, 16 March 2016 & Wednesday, 6 April 2016 *:: Time: * 10:00am - 11:15am EDT (UTC 14:00:00) *:: Registration Information: * http://dublincore.org/resources/training/#2016neubert *====================================================* *ABOUT THE WEBINAR SERIES:* In the past seven years, SKOS has become a widely recognized and used common interchange format for thesauri, classifications, and other types of vocabularies. This has opened a huge opportunity for the development of generic tools and methods that should apply to all vocabularies that can be expressed in SKOS. While expensive, proprietary or custom-developed solutions aimed at one particular thesaurus or classification have been dominant, now more and more open source tools are being created to deal with various aspects of vocabulary management. In this series of two webinars with Joachim Neubert (ZBW Leibniz Information Centre for Economics, Germany) and Osma Suominen (National Library of Finland), we start on 16 March 2016 with Webinar 1 by examining skos-history, a method and toolset to nail down changes in a vocabulary. We follow with Webinar 2 on 6 April 2016 focusing on Skosmos, a full-fledged web application for publishing SKOS vocabularies. *ABOUT WEBINAR 1 (16 March 2016):* Change Tracking in Knowledge Organization Systems with skos-history When a new version of a vocabulary is published, users want to know "What’s new?" and "What has changed?" Vocabulary managers had differing strategies to answer these questions—relying on internal logs of the vocabulary management system or the intellectual collection of changes deemed relevant. These methods generally are not available to third parties using a vocabulary, or for example are trying to keep vocabulary mappings up to date. Having vocabularies published in SKOS as RDF triples has changed this situation: Vocabularies can be compared algorithmically, and deltas between versions can be computed. This data can be loaded into a version store, and evaluated by SPARQL queries. Therefore, the published versions alone are sufficient to get the differences. The webinar will explain how you can create a version store, how skos-history interlinks versions and deltas, and how queries can get a grip on added or removed concepts, on changed notations, or on merges and splits of concepts. We will show how aggregated change information about a concept scheme can be obtained, and how the complete change history of a single concept across multiple versions can be traced. Finally, you will learn how you can adapt skos-history queries to the features of a particular concept scheme in which you are interested. *ABOUT WEBINAR 2 (6 April 2016):* Publishing SKOS Concept Schemes with Skosmos With more and more thesauri, classifications and other knowledge organization systems being published as Linked Data using SKOS, the question arises how best to make them available on the web. While just publishing the Linked Data triples is possible using a number of RDF publishing tools, those tools are not very well suited for SKOS data, because they cannot support term-based searching and lookup. This webinar presents Skosmos, an open source web-based SKOS vocabulary browser that uses a SPARQL endpoint as its back-end. It can be used by e.g. libraries and archives as a publishing platform for controlled vocabularies such as thesauri, lightweight ontologies, classifications and authority files. The Finnish national thesaurus and ontology service Finto, operated by the National Library of Finland, is built using Skosmos. Skosmos provides a multilingual user interface for browsing and searching the data and for visualizing concept hierarchies. The user interface has been developed by analyzing the results of repeated usability tests. All of the SKOS data is made available as Linked Data. A developer-friendly REST API is also available providing access for using vocabularies in other applications such as annotation systems. We will describe what kind of infrastructure is necessary for Skosmos and how to set it up for your own SKOS data. We will also present examples where Skosmos is being used around the world. *ABOUT THE PRESENTERS:* *Joachim Neubert* is a scientific software developer at the ZBW Leibniz Information Centre for Economics (http://www.zbw.eu) He published the STW Thesaurus for economics (http://zbw.eu/stw) and several other datasets as Linked Open Data. In 2009, he started the SWIB – Semantic Web for Libraries conference and serves to date as co-chair of its programme committee. As an "invited expert", he took an active part in the Library Linked Data Incubator Group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). His research interests include knowledge organization systems and authorities, linked data, and web-based information systems and applications, on which he reports once in a while on ZBW Labs (http://zbw.eu/labs) *Osma Suominen* is currently working as information systems specialist at the National Library of Finland. He is involved in publishing library data as Linked Data, maintaining the Finto.fi thesaurus and ontology service, and leading development of the Skosmos vocabulary browser used in Finto. He is currently also assisting FAO (UN), CABI (UK), and NAL (US) in creating a Global Agricultural Concept Scheme by merging their existing thesauri, using Linked Data tools and approaches. Osma Suominen earned his doctoral degree at Aalto University while doing research on semantic portals and quality of controlled vocabularies within the FinnONTO series of projects. His past accomplishments include the Skosify vocabulary analysis and quality improvement tool, and data.aalto.fi, the Linked Data service of Aalto University. *Registration:* http://dublincore.org/resources/training/#2016neubert

by DCMI Announce 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

*******PLEASE EXCUSE THE CROSS-POSTING******* Creating Content Intelligence: Harmonized Taxonomy & Metadata in the Enterprise Context *DCMI/ASIST Joint Webinar* *===========================================================* *:: Presenter:* Stephanie Lemieux *:: Date:* Wednesday, 27 January 2016 *:: Time:* 10:00am - 11:15am EST (UTC 15:00:00 - World Clock: http://bit.ly/webinar-lemieux) *:: Registration:* http://dublincore.org/resources/training/#2016lemieux *===========================================================* *ABOUT THE WEBINAR:* Many organizations have content dispersed across multiple independent repositories, often with a real lack of metadata consistency. The attention given to enterprise data is often not extended to unstructured content, widening the gap between the two worlds and making it near impossible to provide accurate business intelligence, good user experience, or even basic findability. How do you bring all those disparate efforts together to create content intelligence across the organization? This webinar will describe the benefits and challenges in developing metadata and taxonomy across multiple functional areas, creating a unified Enterprise Content Architecture (ECA). Hear about real enterprise metadata & taxonomy harmonization projects in different contexts, including a greeting card company, a media company, an automotive manufacturer and a consumer food manufacturer. See how they worked to harmonize across a number of diverse systems that supported multiple functions, from creative processes to manufacturing to reporting. In this webinar, you will learn: - how the concept of Enterprise Content Architecture unifies multiple disciplines, including information management, data management and content strategy; - the difference and similarities between master data and business metadata; - how enterprise-level metadata and taxonomy helps drive semantic interoperability and improve business processes; - how taxonomy can be harmonized across diverse systems and provided as a service; and - how to build support and governance for enterprise-level attention to taxonomy and metadata from within a project. *Participant Experience Level:* Basic familiarity with taxonomy and metadata assumed. *ABOUT THE PRESENTER:* *Stephanie Lemieux* is the President and Primary Consultant at Dovecot Studio. She is a passionate advocate of taxonomy, search and other marvelous pursuits in content organization. She has worked with organizations in various industries, such as Nickelodeon, General Mills, UPS, and the United Nations. Prior to focusing her energies on Dovecot Studio, she was a senior consultant and taxonomy practice lead with Earley & Associates. She speaks, blogs and writes whenever she can to help spread the good taxonomy word. Stephanie has a Masters degree in Library and Information Studies (MLIS) from McGill University with a specialization in knowledge management.

SPNHC 2016 Symposium on Mobilizing NHC Data - Call for Abstracts from iDigBio, RBGE, and UO
by Deborah Paul 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

Hi Everyone! Gehen Sie zu SPNHC 2016 Konferenz? Are you going to SPNHC 2016? It's in Berlin this year, from June 20 - 25, 2016. Folks from iDigBio (https://www.idigbio.org/) RBGE (http://www.rbge.org.uk/) and UO (https://uoregon.edu/) are convening a Symposium at SPNHC 2016. With this email, we'd like to invite you to submit an abstract for our consideration. *Symposium:* An International Conversation on Mobilizing Natural History Collections (NHC) Data and Integrating Data for Research. Natural History Collection (NHC) data are being mobilized all over the world. Recent preliminary worldwide survey data suggests the trend is growing. As digitization begins to become an every-day part of collections, many compelling issues vie for attention. For example, cost, prioritization, sustainability, and rates of digitization are four such issues. And, many uses for NHC data are well-known and fairly well-understood. But issues exist with the data, and there is still much legacy data to be digitally captured – before it can be shared with the world’s researchers. We invite presentations from anyone in the collections and biodiversity informatics community who is involved in the mobilization and use of NHC data. We envision an assortment of talks covering three areas: 1. digitization (including imaging) lessons learned and outstanding questions, 2. new and emerging technologies/models, and cross-discipline collaborations for digitization and georeferencing, and 3. collections data-in-action. Our speakers may be, for example, those doing the digitization and mobilization of the data; museum collection administrators actively incorporating digitization into their museum’s mission and vision; computer, information, and library scientists supporting digitization and research efforts; education and outreach staff working with citizen scientists to digitize and georeference; or those using collections data in research. *Abstract* *submission deadline is 15 March 2016. **Note Well:* SPNHC 2016 local organizers are using an online-abstract-submission system and abstract template form you can find here: http://www.spnhc2016.berlin/page15.html Please note in your submission that the abstract is intended for the*International Conversation Symposium *and indicate which track or tracks your talk will address. Please use key tags: #Digitization Lessons Learned, #New Technology, New Strategies, and / or #Collections Data-In-Action. You may direct any specific questions regarding the International Conversation Symposium to session conveners Deb Paul (dpaul(a)fsu.edu) Elspeth Haston (e.haston(a)rbge.org.uk) or Brian Westra (bwestra(a)uoregon.edu) Vielen Dank und Alles Gute für 2016, Many thanks and Happy New Year!, Deb, Elspeth, and Brian Please see the SPNHC symposia page for a detailed abstract <http://www.spnhc2016.berlin/page40.html>http://www.spnhc2016.berlin/page40.html.
