The iPRES 2015 (http://ipres2015.web.unc.edu/) will be held on November 2-6, 2015 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Contributions are currently being sought that present research and innovative practice in digital preservation. The iPRES 2015 conference is seeking contributions from research and innovative practice in digital preservation. Contribution topics We welcome contributions that address at least one of the following topics: Institutional opportunities and challenges * local, regional and national approaches * legislative context and requirements * institutional contexts for preservation * collaboration and alignment * collection content profiling * research data management * personal archiving * documenting authenticity and integrity * demonstrating benefits and incentives * providing and documenting added value * evaluating options: products, tools, registries, services, service providers * exploring the potential of bartering Infrastructure (organizational and technological) opportunities and challenges * intelligent and secure storage * scalability * complex formats * large web data sets * software and hardware dependencies * system architectures and requirements * distributed and cloud-based implementations * digital forensics * standards-based practice Frameworks for digital preservation * models * standards and practice * core concepts * business models * sustainability and economic viability Preservation strategies and workflows * preservation strategies (e.g., migration, emulation, normalization) * preservation metadata management * preservation planning and action * archival storage and archival packages * acquisition, ingest, and submission packages * long-term access management and dissemination packages * measuring and mediating risks * content-specific approaches (e.g., GIS, digital art, audiovisual, research data, web-based content, models) Innovative practice * implementations * repositories * issues and wins * lessons learned * the future of digital preservation Training and education * educational needs * evaluating curricula and impacts * innovative offerings * support for lifelong learning * career management See the Author information and guidelines page for information on how to submit, according to the types below. Program strands iPRES 2015 is being structured around two key strands - research and innovative practice. Papers are invited for both strands. The purpose of this distinction is to promote work from both a research and innovative practice perspective and work that is clearly rooted in the actual experience of institutions undertaking digital preservation. We expect that there will be work that manages to encapsulate both of these strands, and that is welcomed. All papers for iPRES 2015 should: * be leading edge * be innovative * help inform debate around what digital preservation is. Paper types Full and Short papers Full papers (8 to 10 pages) will report research work with novel contributions and/or practical engagement with digital preservation problems that show a demonstrable advance in the practice of digital preservation. Short papers (3 to 5 pages) can focus on new challenges and work in progress, whether in the research or innovative practice strand. All contributions must report on novel and previously unpublished work and will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee. The accepted papers will be published in the iPRES 2015 proceedings. A best paper award will be offered and recommended for publication in an appropriate journal. Posters and demonstrations Submissions (up to 2 pages) are encouraged for posters reporting on emerging issues or work in progress, and also for demonstrations of innovative solutions. These submissions should describe the work to be presented and its contribution beyond the state of the art. Posters and demonstrations will be presented in a dedicated session during the conference. All contributions will be peer-reviewed. The accepted poster and demonstration submissions will be published in the proceedings. A best poster award will be offered. Panels Proposals for thematic panels to be held during the main conference program can be submitted by 3 to 5 experts. Acceptance will be judged on the merits of the proposal and relevance for the expected audience. Proposals must detail the subject, motivation and panelists. Workshops Proposals for thematic workshops are welcome. Proposals must detail the subject, scope, program strand and intended content. Ideally, workshops should be open to public registration and participation. Acceptance will be judged on the merits of the proposal, requirements for its organization, and local capability to support it (which should not be a major constraint). Tutorials Tutorials must be on a single topic, addressed at either an introductory level or an in-depth, expert level. Submissions for tutorials should be a maximum of 2 pages, including a brief abstract and an outline of the content, the duration (half-day 3 hours or full-day 6 hours), a description of the intended audience and the expected learning outcomes, and a short biography of the presenter(s). Peer review and inclusion in iPres 2015 Proceedings All submissions will be subject to peer review. Those that are accepted for inclusion in the conference will be published in the iPRES 2015 proceedings. For full and short papers, the full text will be published. For posters, demonstrations, workshops, tutorials and panels, abstracts will be published. After receiving results of the peer review, authors will have an opportunity to edit their submissions for the final proceedings. In order to ensure inclusion in the proceedings, authors should submit final text by 15 August 2015. Publication and Pre-publication at iPres 2015 iPRES is a venue where individuals from across the globe hash out ideas, share results and propose further actions to address the challenges and opportunities of digital preservation. This year, we would like to take further advantage of these rich exchanges by changing how the final proceedings are published. Participants at the conference will receive full pre-publication drafts of papers and abstracts of workshops, tutorials, panels, posters, and demos. Authors will be encouraged to link their own papers to others, to deal with criticisms or comments received, and to clear up any inaccuracies or misunderstandings. In addition panelists and workshop hosts will be invited to report their sessions more fully, and the program committee will commission a number of thematic syntheses to act as an accessible commentary to the whole conference. Authors will be given a short period after the conference to update their contributions to take account of discussion, debate and conference developments. Please note that pre-conference versions will be published if no revised version is provided. Additional opportunities Submissions are also encouraged for associated activities outside the formal program. Responsibility for planning and management of these would be with the submitting organization. The Program Committee would appreciate being notified and consulted about such activities in order to best coordinate efforts with the conference program. -Helen Dr. Helen R.

International Conference on ENTERprise Information Systems Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, 7-9 October 2015 http://centeris.scika.org AIS Affiliated Conference ======================================================================================== WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE The social business is based on technology trends (powerful mobile devices, broadband Internet, and low-cost data storage), work (culture, globalization) and society (propensity for sharing). This new way of doing business will enable a paradigm shift, "comes out of the hierarchy and works on the net", which will surely be the "essence of the fast enterprises and the next generation." Nowadays, according to the McKinsey Global Institute, in its report "The social economy: Unlocking value and productivity through social technologies", there are over 1.5 billion users of social networks, 80% is the proportion of total users that interact with social networks regularly, 70% is the proportion of companies using social technologies, and it is used about 28 hours a week to write emails, search for information and perform internal collaboration. Strategies of platform and application integration need to be established and social technology tools need to be integrated, while a common culture of collaborative communication has to be maintained. Questions of user adoption, communication facilitation and measurable business value are arising. Benefits of information sharing, interactive knowledge exchange and usability extension seem to be apparent, whereas concerns of technical operationalization, security control and practicability of social technology features are still persistent. This workshop encourages studies on technical, social and theoretical issues in ICT trends for enterprises that will interest both practitioners and researchers. WORKSHOP TOPICS AND AREAS OF INTEREST (not limited to) - Social Tools - Web 2.0 and Social Networking - Platform Integration and Management - Global Online Communities - Interactive Applications - Operational Criteria and System Integration - Real-time Video Collaboration, Knowledge Management and Activity Streaming - Metrics and Methods - Usability, Content and Security - Ethical issues - Success factors for social workplace adoption - Key drivers for leveraging social value generation and business transformation - Visions for future work and process organization SUBMISSIONS We welcome full research papers, short papers, posters and practitioner papers on the workshop theme.

International Conference on ENTERprise Information Systems Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, 7-9 October 2015 http://centeris.scika.org AIS Affiliated Conference ======================================================================================== WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE According to the European Commission report "A Roadmap for Advanced Cloud Technologies H2020 under", the environment of IST (market research, industry, education, training, etc.) undergoes constant changes. Thus, it is necessary to identify the major changes that can be expected in the next 5-10 years and may, or will, affect the environment of IST. It is expected, for example, that in 2015 billions of people connected by nearly a trillion devices, the concept BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is practically general, as well as Cloud Computing. Additionally, mobile malware has been around for a while, but it is only in the last few years that it is been used as a tool in the hands of cybercriminals. The growth of mobile malware is only going to continue as people increasingly conduct business and sensitive transactions via mobile devices and it is a result of a number of different factors. First, the huge numbers of smartphones being used; second, the variety of ?interesting? data now stored on these devices, such as: contacts, photographs, SMS messages, banking credentials and social networking logins; and finally, the growing use of mobile devices in business and the lack of awareness from organizations around mobile threats. There are a number of major trends in the mobile space which will change the way software providers deliver applications and services. One of these trends is the move toward Mobile Websites instead of apps, hence Mobile Web Portals have a great impact. This progress it is important because literature in information systems rarely addresses the particulars of Mobile Web Portals from pure ICT view. This workshop encourages studies on technical, social and theoretical issues in mobile computing that will interest both practitioners and researchers. WORKSHOP TOPICS AND AREAS OF INTEREST (not limited to) - Web Services and Web Engineering - Authentication and Access Control - Web Security and Privacy - Databases and Datawarehouses - Portal strategies - Accessibility issues and Technology - Usability and Ergonomics - Web Geographical Information Systems - Social and Legal Issues - Mobile Navigation and Assistance - Context Detection - Mobile Social Network Interaction - Mobile learning - Mobile commerce - Mobile cloud SUBMISSIONS We welcome full research papers, short papers, posters and practitioner papers on the workshop theme.

International Conference on ENTERprise Information Systems Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, 7-9 October 2015 http://centeris.scika.org AIS Affiliated Conference ======================================================================================== WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE According to the European Commission report "A Roadmap for Advanced Cloud Technologies H2020 under", the environment of IST (market research, industry, education, training, etc.) undergoes constant changes. Thus, it is necessary to identify the major changes that can be expected in the next 5-10 years and may, or will, affect the environment of IST. It is expected, for example, that in 2015 billions of people connected by nearly a trillion devices, the concept BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is practically general, as well as Cloud Computing. Additionally, mobile malware has been around for a while, but it is only in the last few years that it is been used as a tool in the hands of cybercriminals. The growth of mobile malware is only going to continue as people increasingly conduct business and sensitive transactions via mobile devices and it is a result of a number of different factors. First, the huge numbers of smartphones being used; second, the variety of ?interesting? data now stored on these devices, such as: contacts, photographs, SMS messages, banking credentials and social networking logins; and finally, the growing use of mobile devices in business and the lack of awareness from organizations around mobile threats. There are a number of major trends in the mobile space which will change the way software providers deliver applications and services. One of these trends is the move toward Mobile Websites instead of apps, hence Mobile Web Portals have a great impact. This progress it is important because literature in information systems rarely addresses the particulars of Mobile Web Portals from pure ICT view. This workshop encourages studies on technical, social and theoretical issues in mobile computing that will interest both practitioners and researchers. WORKSHOP TOPICS AND AREAS OF INTEREST (not limited to) - Web Services and Web Engineering - Authentication and Access Control - Web Security and Privacy - Databases and Datawarehouses - Portal strategies - Accessibility issues and Technology - Usability and Ergonomics - Web Geographical Information Systems - Social and Legal Issues - Mobile Navigation and Assistance - Context Detection - Mobile Social Network Interaction - Mobile learning - Mobile commerce - Mobile cloud SUBMISSIONS We welcome full research papers, short papers, posters and practitioner papers on the workshop theme. Submitted manuscripts must be written in English. Each manuscript should not exceed the maximum number of pages predefined for each submission type, considering the format available for download at the conference webpage. Manuscript should be submitted electronically at the CENTERIS webpage until April 3, 2015. Submitted papers will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis, and authors will be notified of the review process results by May 17, 2015. Authors of accepted papers can receive recommendations to revise their manuscript according to the reviewers? comments and should submit the revised version until June 12, 2015. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for paper submission: April 3, 2015 Notification of acceptance/rejection: May 17, 2015 Revised version: June 12, 2015 Conference Date: October 7-9, 2015 PUBLICATION Accepted full and short papers will be published in the conference proceedings (with ISSN).

Real-world information needs are generally complex, yet almost all research focuses instead on either relatively simple search based on queries or recommendation based on profiles. The goal is to research and develop techniques to support users in complex book search tasks. The Social Book Search Lab consists of two tracks: Interactive Track : a user-oriented interactive task investigating systems that support users in each of multiple stages of a complex search tasks. The track offers participants a complete experimental interactive IR setup and an exciting new multistage search interface to investigate how users move through search stages. Suggestion Track : a system-oriented task to suggest books based on rich search requests combining several topical and contextual relevance signals with query-by-example, as well as user profiles and real-world relevance judgements. For more information on the SBS Lab, visit the SBS Lab homepage . Please also consider joining the SBS mailing list . To participate in the SBS Lab, please register at the CLEF 2015 Labs . ### SCHEDULE ### Interactive Track: - Data gathering period: 10 December 2014 - 31 March 2015 - Shared data pool distributed: late April 2015 Suggestion Track: - Topics and collection available: 6 February 2015 - Run submission: 20 April 2015 - Evaluation results released: 23 April 2015 CLEF Labs working notes deadline: 31 May 2015 CLEF conference and SBS Lab: 8-11 September 2015 CLEF website: http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/CLEF2015/ ### HOW TO PARTICIPATE ### Register at CLEF 2015: http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/CLEF2015/labs_registration.php Amazon/LibraryThing corpus licence agreement: http://social-book-search.humanities.uva.nl/data/ALT_Nondisclosure_Agreements.html For registered participants, the document collections, topics, user profiles and training material are available here: http://social-book-search.humanities.uva.nl/#/data ### ORGANISERS ### Marijn Koolen (University of Amsterdam) Toine Bogers (Aalborg University Copenhagen) Maria G?de (Humboldt University Berlin) Mark Hall (Edge Hill University) Hugo Huurdeman (University of Amsterdam) Jaap Kamps (University of Amsterdam) Michael Preminger (Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences) Mette Skov (Aalborg University Copenhagen) Elaine Toms (University of Sheffield) David Walsh (Edge Hill University) ### CONTACT ### For questions, please contact Marijn Koolen at marijn.koolen at uva.nl. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The integration across this LOD Cloud, however, is hampered by the ?publish first, refine later? philosophy. This is due to various quality problems existing in the published data such as incompleteness, inconsistency, incomprehensibility, etc. These problems affect every application domain, be it scientific (e.g., life science, environment), governmental, or industrial applications. We see linked datasets originating from crowdsourced content like Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap such as DBpedia and LinkedGeoData and also from highly curated sources e.g. from the library domain. Quality is defined as ?fitness for use?, thus DBpedia currently can be appropriate for a simple end-user application but could never be used in the medical domain for treatment decisions. However, quality is a key to the success of the data web and a major barrier for further industry adoption. Despite the quality in Linked Data being an essential concept, few efforts are currently available to standardize how data quality tracking and assurance should be implemented. Particularly in Linked Data, ensuring data quality is a challenge as it involves a set of autonomously evolving data sources. Additionally, detecting the quality of datasets available and making the information explicit is yet another challenge. This includes the (semi-)automatic identification of problems. Moreover, none of the current approaches uses the assessment to ultimately improve the quality of the underlying dataset. The goal of the Workshop on Linked Data Quality is to raise the awareness of quality issues in Linked Data and to promote approaches to assess, monitor, maintain and improve Linked Data quality. The workshop topics include, but are not limited to: * Concepts * - Quality modeling vocabularies * Quality assessment * - Methodologies * - Frameworks for quality testing and evaluation * - Inconsistency detection * - Tools/Data validators * Quality improvement * - Refinement techniques for Linked Datasets * - Linked Data cleansing * - Error correction * - Tools * Quality of ontologies * Reputation and trustworthiness of web resources * Best practices for Linked Data management * User experience, empirical studies Submission guidelines We seek novel technical research papers in the context of Linked Data Quality with a length of up to 8 pages (long) and 4 pages (short) papers. Papers should be submitted in PDF format. Other supplementary formats (e.g. html) are also accepted but a pdf version is required. Paper submissions must be formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Please submit your paper via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ldq2015. Submissions that do not comply with the formatting of LNCS or that exceed the page limit will be rejected without review. We note that the author list does not need to be anonymized, as we do not have a double-blind review process in place. Submissions will be peer reviewed by three independent reviewers. Accepted papers have to be presented at the workshop. Important Dates All deadlines are, unless otherwise stated, at 23:59 Hawaii time. * Submission of research papers: March 6, 2015 * Notification of paper acceptance: April 3, 2015 * Submission of camera-ready papers: April 17, 2015 * Workshop date: May 31 or June 1, 2015 (half-day) Organizing Committee * Anisa Rula ?

International Conference on ENTERprise Information Systems Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, 7-9 October 2015 http://centeris.scika.org AIS Affiliated Conference ======================================================================================== WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE According to the European Commission report "A Roadmap for Advanced Cloud Technologies H2020 under", the environment of IST (market research, industry, education, training, etc.) undergoes constant changes. Thus, it is necessary to identify the major changes that can be expected in the next 5-10 years and may, or will, affect the environment of IST. It is expected, for example, that in 2015 billions of people connected by nearly a trillion devices, the concept BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is practically general, as well as Cloud Computing. Additionally, mobile malware has been around for a while, but it is only in the last few years that it is been used as a tool in the hands of cybercriminals. The growth of mobile malware is only going to continue as people increasingly conduct business and sensitive transactions via mobile devices and it is a result of a number of different factors. First, the huge numbers of smartphones being used; second, the variety of ?interesting? data now stored on these devices, such as: contacts, photographs, SMS messages, banking credentials and social networking logins; and finally, the growing use of mobile devices in business and the lack of awareness from organizations around mobile threats. There are a number of major trends in the mobile space which will change the way software providers deliver applications and services. One of these trends is the move toward Mobile Websites instead of apps, hence Mobile Web Portals have a great impact. This progress it is important because literature in information systems rarely addresses the particulars of Mobile Web Portals from pure ICT view. This workshop encourages studies on technical, social and theoretical issues in mobile computing that will interest both practitioners and researchers. WORKSHOP TOPICS AND AREAS OF INTEREST (not limited to) - Web Services and Web Engineering - Authentication and Access Control - Web Security and Privacy - Databases and Datawarehouses - Portal strategies - Accessibility issues and Technology - Usability and Ergonomics - Web Geographical Information Systems - Social and Legal Issues - Mobile Navigation and Assistance - Context Detection - Mobile Social Network Interaction - Mobile learning - Mobile commerce - Mobile cloud SUBMISSIONS We welcome full research papers, short papers, posters and practitioner papers on the workshop theme.

International Conference on ENTERprise Information Systems Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, 7-9 October 2015 http://centeris.scika.org AIS Affiliated Conference ======================================================================================== WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE The social business is based on technology trends (powerful mobile devices, broadband Internet, and low-cost data storage), work (culture, globalization) and society (propensity for sharing). This new way of doing business will enable a paradigm shift, "comes out of the hierarchy and works on the net", which will surely be the "essence of the fast enterprises and the next generation." Nowadays, according to the McKinsey Global Institute, in its report "The social economy: Unlocking value and productivity through social technologies", there are over 1.5 billion users of social networks, 80% is the proportion of total users that interact with social networks regularly, 70% is the proportion of companies using social technologies, and it is used about 28 hours a week to write emails, search for information and perform internal collaboration. Strategies of platform and application integration need to be established and social technology tools need to be integrated, while a common culture of collaborative communication has to be maintained. Questions of user adoption, communication facilitation and measurable business value are arising. Benefits of information sharing, interactive knowledge exchange and usability extension seem to be apparent, whereas concerns of technical operationalization, security control and practicability of social technology features are still persistent. This workshop encourages studies on technical, social and theoretical issues in ICT trends for enterprises that will interest both practitioners and researchers. WORKSHOP TOPICS AND AREAS OF INTEREST (not limited to) - Social Tools - Web 2.0 and Social Networking - Platform Integration and Management - Global Online Communities - Interactive Applications - Operational Criteria and System Integration - Real-time Video Collaboration, Knowledge Management and Activity Streaming - Metrics and Methods - Usability, Content and Security - Ethical issues - Success factors for social workplace adoption - Key drivers for leveraging social value generation and business transformation - Visions for future work and process organization SUBMISSIONS We welcome full research papers, short papers, posters and practitioner papers on the workshop theme.

Being one of the main streams of information processing, Artificial Intelligence may now offer solutions to such problems using advances and innovations from a wide range of sub-areas that induce thinking and reasoning in models and systems. The Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations Conference (AIAI) is a major technical event in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing. The 11th AIAI Conference will be held in Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne (BAB) in France, from September 14th to 17th 2015. Its general focus is to present different perspectives on how Artificial Intelligence may be applied and offer solutions to real world problems, serving the study, analysis and modelling of theoretical and practical issues. The primary target of AIAI is to present highly novel research papers describing innovative algorithms, systems, tools and techniques, as well as proposing advanced prototypes in the area of Artificial Intelligence. General survey papers indicating future directions and professional work-in-progress reports are of equal interest. Acceptance will be based on quality, originality and practical merit of the work. AIAI is supported and sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).

Aggregated search systems, such as Google, are responsible for combining results from multiple independent systems into a single presentation. For example, in addition to web results, Google will sometimes include results from other back-end systems (called verticals) that focus on a specific type of media, such as images, videos, news articles or online products. Arguello?s project has three main goals. The first is to further understand how users interact with aggregated search results. For example, the project will investigate how the results from one source (say, the images on the results page) influence a user?s interaction with results from a difference source (say, the web results). The second goal of the project is to develop aggregated search solutions that are better informed by ?real? user behavior. To this end, the project will develop approaches for automatically deciding which results to display and how to display them to a user in particular context. The third goal is to the test the generalizability of the algorithms developed on two additional domains: digital library search and news story aggregation. ?Jaime?s work illustrates a unique strength of information science in that it entails human-centered studies that serve as the basis for algorithm development,? said SILS Dean Gary Marchionini. Knowledge gained from the project will improve aggregated search systems across different domains. Additionally, the project will develop software tools and resources that other researchers can use to test their own solutions. ?I am excited to continue working on further understanding how people interact with aggregated search interfaces, and to use that knowledge to develop better solutions that can be applied broadly in any environment where a system has to combine results from different, independent sources,? Arguello said. ?I?m thankful to have this opportunity and think that SILS is an ideal place to do this kind of research.?

The white paper was commissioned by NISO's Discovery to Delivery (D2D) Topic Committee as part of its ongoing examination of areas in the discovery landscape that the information community could potentially standardize. Included in the paper is an overview of the current discovery environment; descriptions of how these technologies, methodologies, and products may be able to adapt to potential future change; and a look beyond current models of discovery to explore possible alternatives, especially those related to linked data. "Marshall's paper thoroughly fulfills D2D's charge when we determined that further focused exploration and analysis of the future discovery terrain would better direct our work as a NISO Topic Committee," states Pascal Calarco, Associate University Librarian, Research & Digital Discovery Services, University of Waterloo, and Chair of the NISO Discovery to Delivery Topic Committee. "The D2D Topic Committee focuses on issues regarding the finding and distribution of information by and to users and, among other tasks, identifies where new standards may provide solutions in this area and creates and provides guidance and oversight to working groups under its purview. We are appreciative that the paper, in addition to an extensive background section, includes significant sections on gap analysis, opportunities for future enhancements using various emerging technologies, and discovery beyond library-provided interfaces, which will provide rich material for our decisions on NISO projects in 2015 and beyond." "This impressive work will propel the Discovery to Delivery Topic Committee's and NISO's work in the area of discovery," observes Todd Carpenter, NISO Executive Director. "NISO is pleased to be able to make Marshall's expert observations and analyses available to the library and information community through the commission and publication of this white paper. We expect that the community will continue to strive to provide its users with more universal access to diverse types of content, and this document is an important tool to help identify areas which, if engaged in, will provide positive and long-lasting outcomes." "I'm gratified that the paper will be an important contribution to NISO's work," said Marshall Breeding, author of the white paper, who has also served on numerous NISO committees and working groups over many years. "An area of interest for me in this paper's composition was identifying or exploring factors that may cause barriers to discovery, examining potential methods for progress which may benefit from additional stimulation, and detailing further opportunities to lower thresholds of entry to support additional contributions in the important arena of discovery services. I hope the material in the paper will enable the Discovery to Delivery Topic Committee to further support its important work." The Future of Library Resource Discovery white paper is available for free download on the NISO website at www.niso.org/publications/white_papers/discovery/ For more information, contact: Nettie Lagace NISO Associate Director for Programs 301-654-2512 nlagace at niso.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I thought many of you would find of great interest the release yesterday afternoon of GDELT 2.0. The GDELT Project ( http://gdeltproject.org/) is essentially a live index over the global news media - within 15 minutes of monitoring a breaking story anywhere in the world, GDELT is designed to translate it and identify events, counts, quotes, people, organizations, locations, themes, emotions, relevant imagery, video, and embedded social media posts, place them into global context, and make all of this codified metadata available via a live open metadata firehose enabling open research over global society. GDELT now updates every 15 minutes, making it possible to track events and narratives across the global media in near-realtime, along with a large number of new capabilities of possible interest to many on this list. Likely of greatest interest is GDELT Translingual, which represents one of the largest deployments of streaming machine translation, live-translating what GDELT monitors globally in 65 languages in realtime, representing 98.4% of its daily non-English monitoring volume. This is coupled with the first phase of an extremely high-resolution global inventory of the non-English and non-Western media world to allow GDELT to reach deeply into local events, reaction, discourse, and emotions of the global media (especially the non-English and non-Western media) in realtime. For those interested in geography, there has been a special emphasis on toponymic recovery across languages, meaning that you can use GDELT 2.0 as a powerful massively multilingual geocoding system for geofencing media discussion of particular locations or regions of interest. In addition, GDELT 2.0 now brings together 24 emotional and thematic packages to assess a combined 2,300 emotions and themes from every article, creating an incredible platform to explore sentiment and thematic analysis at a global scale and in realtime. Thought this would be of great interest to those on this list trying to reach across languages, tracking events and narratives across linguistic and geographic boundaries, and/or wanting to explore the heartbeat of the global media system in near-realtime. You can see more technical details below. I'm working on a set of tutorials and tools that should be debuting in the next two weeks to make it much easier to work with the data and not require as much technical expertise to use it to its fullest extent. http://blog.gdeltproject.org/gdelt-2-0-our-global-world-in-realtime/ http://blog.gdeltproject.org/gdelt-translingual-translating-the-planet/ For those of you who haven't had a chance to explore GDELT in as much detail yet, this video gives a very nice overview of the project as a whole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Psp7YivWL90 Please reach out to me with any questions, I'm very excited to see what kinds of research are possible when one is able to look across worldwide media in 65 languages and 2,300 emotions and themes in near-realtime! ~Kalev http://kalevleetaru.com/ http://blog.gdeltproject.org/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Consortium for the Science of Sociotechnical Systems (CSST) Calls for Participation in the 2015 Summer Research Institute When: July 20 ? 24, 2015 Where: The Nature Place, near Colorado Springs, CO Deadline: Taking applications until 2 March, 2015 (Note this is the same call, but with five days? grace on the deadline. It seems easier to do this than respond to all of you asking for a few more days to complete your applications!) Personal health and well-being; open innovation, eScience, and citizen science; co-production, open source, and new forms of work; cultural heritage and information access; energy management and climate change; civic hacking, engagement and government; disaster response; cybersecurity and privacy; education and learning ? these are just a few problem domains where effective design and robust understanding of complex sociotechnical systems are critical. To meet these challenges, a trans-disciplinary community has come together, drawing together scholars from intellectual communities such as CSCW, HCI, social computing, organization studies, information visualization, social informatics, sociology, information systems, medical informatics, computer science, ICT for development, education, learning science, journalism, and political science. Through Summer Research Institutes, extended workshops, preconference workshops, and other activities, this community of researchers from academia and industry has developed a strong focus on problems and opportunities arising from the interplay of social and technological systems that span individuals, groups, organizations, and societies. The 2015 Summer Research Institute builds on this tradition to strengthen and expand this diverse community by bringing together graduate students, post-doctoral students, faculty, and other researchers in three groups: Doctoral students, post-doctoral students, pre-tenure faculty, and early career researchers ? Mentoring, peer networking, and skill-building tutorials will help doctoral students, post-doctoral students, pre-tenure faculty, and early career researchers identify substantive ways that the theories, approaches, and tools within the larger community can advance their work with the design and study of sociotechnical systems. Emerging multi-disciplinary research teams ? Groups of researchers seeking to develop cross-disciplinary collaborations will work with mentors to refine problem statements and research goals; connect with collaborators with complementary skills and interests; and create actionable research agendas and funding proposals. Preference will be given to groups interested in designing and studying sociotechnical systems that address societal grand challenges such as (but not limited to) healthcare; energy management and climate change; cybersecurity and privacy; education and learning; disaster response; technology development and innovation; economic development and work; and civic engagement and participation. Research infrastructure development teams ? Groups of researchers interested in creating computational or analytic tools, data resources, training materials, or other infrastructure to support the design and study of sociotechnical systems will come together to work on new challenges. These infrastructure ?hackathon? sessions will result in community resources such as use cases, prototypes, draft materials, and deployable systems. Applying for CSST 2015 Summer Research Institute We encourage applications from all academic, industry, NGO, and public sector organizations worldwide. To apply for the 2015 Summer Research Institute, select the group that best fits your needs and situation: Doctoral students, post-doctoral students, pre-tenure faculty, and early career researchers should send their CV and a short (up to 300 words) response to the question ?How does/will your work advance our ability to design and understand critical sociotechnical systems?? Include three relevant references to situate your work within the larger research community. Doctoral students should have completed their dissertation proposal prior to attending and should seek a letter of recommendation from their advisor/department chair indicating their expected graduation date as well as how the CSST Summer Research Institute will advance their scholarship. Emerging multi-disciplinary research teams should apply as a group, sending their CVs and a short (up to 500 words) response to these questions: ?What is the research focus/problem domain? What types of activities/studies are needed to engage that domain? How will pursuing this agenda help advance our ability to design and understand critical sociotechnical systems?? Include references and potential funding sources, if known, to situate the proposal within the larger research community. Your team may have from three to six people. Preference will be given to cross-institutional teams in which junior/mid-career researchers play significant leadership roles. Research infrastructure development teams should apply as a group, sending their CVs and a short (up to 500 words)) response to these questions: ?What is the problem you are seeking to address? What will you do to address that problem? How will creating these technologies, tools, materials or infrastructure improve our ability to design and understand critical sociotechnical systems?? Include references to examples from other domains, if possible, to situate your proposal. Your team may have from three to six people from multiple disciplines and institutions. Lodging, meals, and other onsite costs will be covered for all Summer Research Institute participants. Limited travel support is available, if needed, for participants from US and Canadian institutions (with preference given to doctoral and post-doctoral students). To be considered for all available financial support you should provide the following information when you apply: ? What college or university do you attend? ? What is your primary department affiliation? ? If you are applying from a Canadian university, are you a member of the GRAND network? Send your application materials to Summer Research Institute Co-Director Diane Bailey at diane.bailey at ischool.utexas.edu by March 2, 2015. The CSST Summer Research Institute Advisory Group will review applications using the following criteria: ? Clear articulation of the hoped-for contribution to the theory, practice, or design of sociotechnical systems ? Likelihood of Summer Research Institute participation providing significant practical benefit for the individual/team ? Contribution to a balanced and diverse group of participants The number of participants we select will depend on the available funding and the fit between applicants? interests and CSST goals.

The needs of our members guide our actions and investments. Through a shared governance structure, librarians manage and direct the cooperative. OCLC Research is one of the world's leading centers devoted exclusively to the challenges facing libraries and archives in a rapidly changing information technology environment. OCLC Research has a position for a Diversity Fellow. The Job ID is 2585 and the position description and application information are available at http://www.oclc.org/careers/view.en.html. The OCLC Research Fellow will be working on several research projects from Summer 2015-Summer 2016. Our intent is to provide a rich learning experience. The Diversity Fellow will have the opportunity to work on studies examining 1) how users are engaging with technology and content in order to identify ways libraries and librarians can better connect with those behaviors and 2) how libraries and librarians are responding to their research communities' emerging needs for research collections and services that support contemporary modes of scholarship. Responsibilities Currently there are three ongoing projects in these areas. 1. Digital Visitors and Residents helps to identify the needs and motivations of students across educational stages when engaging with online services/resources, which will inform project and program designs to ensure maximum levels of uptake and engagement. Studies using the Digital Visitors and Residents framework are being replicated nationally and internationally. 2. E-Research and Data: Opportunities for Library Engagement explores librarians' early experiences designing and delivering research data services with the objective of informing practical, effective approaches for the larger academic community. It also examines early strategic responses to e-Research and data needs on campus to inform future strategic approaches given campus community needs, infrastructure, resources, and expertise. 3. Dissemination Information Packages for Information Reuse (DIPIR): examines how scholars are reusing data within three academic communities (social science, archaeology, and zoology) to identify how contextual information about the data that supports reuse can best be created and preserved. Development opportunities include: * Developing and administering online surveys * Recruiting and conducting interviews with human subjects * Analyzing qualitative and quantitative data (e.g. surveys, server logs, interview transcripts, strategic documents, etc.) * Searching for and summarizing literature * Preparing papers and presentations Qualifications The following skills are required to accomplish the projects/tasks across the two projects. * Strong communication and analytical skills * Ability to work independently and meet deadlines * Experienced in Microsoft office programs * Familiarity with database design principles The following skills are preferred: * Undergraduate or graduate research experience * Ability to quickly learn new software applications Lynn Silipigni Connaway, Ph.D. Senior Research Scientist OCLC Research connawal at oclc.org @LynnConnaway Cell: 303-246-3623 Fax: 614-718-7378 http://www.oclc.org/research/people/connaway.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Test collections -- consisting of a set of queries, a collection of documents to be searched, and relevance judgments indicating which documents are relevant for which queries -- are perhaps the most widely used tool for evaluating the effectiveness of search systems. Based on pioneering work carried out by Cyril Cleverdon and colleagues at Cranfield University in the 1960s, the popularity of test collections has flourished in large part thanks to evaluation campaigns such as the Text Retrieval Conference (TREC), the Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF), the NII Testbeds and Community for Information Access Research project (NTCIR), and the Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation (FIRE). Test collections have played a vital role in providing a basis for the measurement and comparison of the effectiveness of different information retrieval algorithms and techniques. However, test collections also present a number of issues, from being expensive and complex to construct, to instantiating a particular abstraction of the retrieval process. Topics of interest for this special issue include but are not limited to: Approaches for constructing new test collections - choosing representative topics and documents - minimizing effort Test collection stability - number of topics and documents required - completeness of judgments (pooling, stratified sampling, ...) Evaluation measures - choosing measures - relationship with higher-level search tasks and user goals - relationship with collection features (assumptions regarding incomplete judgments, ...) Relevance judgments - approaches for gathering judgments (crowd-sourcing, dedicated judges, interfaces and support systems for relevance assessments, ...) - types of judgments (single or multiple assessments, binary or multi-level, ...) - human factors (topic creators versus assigned topics, assessor consistency, instructions to assessors, expertise, potential biases, ...) Test collections as representations of the search process - assumptions about search behaviour - user simulation Relationship between evaluation using test collections and other approaches - test collections in comparison with user studies and log analyses Reflections on existing and past initiatives - TREC, NTCIR, CLEF, FIRE, ...
