Subject: [Eurchap] SEMANTiCS 2016, Leipzig, Sep 12-15,
Contribute to the Vocabulary Carnival
Message-ID: <57849868.50406@informatik.uni-leipzig.de>
The Vocabulary Carnival at SEMANTiCS 2016 is a unique opportunity for
vocabulary publishers to showcase and share their work, meet the growing
community of vocabulary publishers and users, and build useful semantic,
technical and social links.
*When?* The Vocabulary Carnival is part of the SEMANTiCS programme with
the Carnival Minute Madness on the 13th of September and on the
industrial marketplace.
*What kind of vocabularies do we expect?*
*
*Any kind!* For this event we use a very open definition of what a
vocabulary is. Ontologies, classifications, thesauri, concept and
metadata schemes, whatever their format, in RDF or not, are all welcome.
*
*Bootstrap your new Vocabulary project:* At the carnival you can
present your ideas and early stage vocabs to find the right people
to get the Vocab discussion going. We require at least a project web
site.
*What is your benefit of submitting?*
*
*attention*: make people aware of your work
*
*feedback*: a room full of other vocabulary creators will guarantee
expert feedback
*
*linking*: discover links from your vocabulary to others on-site
*How to submit your Vocabulary to the Carnival?*
1.
Make sure your vocabulary is accessible on the Web through a public URI.
2.
Communicate your intention to participate at
_https://goo.gl/mV3VpZ_ by joining and posting your vocabulary
link and writing ?See you at the Carnival in Leipzig? or send an
email to monika.solanki at cs.ox.ac.uk , with subject ?Vocabulary
Carnival?.
3.
Register to
SEMANTiCS:_http://2016.semantics.cc/registration/_
4.
Submissions will be handled on a *first come, first serve basis*
*Are there any technical requirements?*
Your vocabulary submission will be evaluated in accordance to the
following criteria:
*
*Reusability* - Which vocabularies and/or ontology design patterns
have been reused in its development? Has it been mapped, aligned,
imported within other ontologies yet? If not, where do you foresee
potential reuse?
*
*Value addition* - How does the vocabulary provide value addition
for the intended project or domain as compared to previous efforts
and to Semantic Web in general?
*
*Design and Technical quality* - how do the ontologies incorporate
best practices in design, i.e., using ontology design patterns or
extending from upper level ontologies?
*
*Documentation* - does the vocabulary provide both human and machine
readable documentation using for e.g., rdfs:label, rdfs:comment and
HTML documentation?
*
*Availability*: We expect your vocabulary (terminology, taxonomy,
ontology, etc.) to be hosted on the Web at a persistent URI (PURL,
w3id, ODI) and with an appropriate licence specification. If it is
not Linked Data or uploaded
to_http://lov.okfn.org_
you can get technical help and advise at the conference.
*
*Usage*: Which academic/industrial projects have adopted the
vocabulary? Which datasets have been annotated using the vocabulary?
*At the SEMANTiCS 2016 Conference:*
*
Prepare a poster (max format A0) presenting your vocabulary:
description, purpose, history and link to its publication page. Your
description of the vocabulary must include the above criteria.
*
Present your poster in the dedicated space at SEMANTiCS conference.
*
Brace yourself to participate in the Vocabulary Minute Madness,
where every vocabulary will have one minute to convince of its
usefulness and quality. Sporting your vocabulary colors at this
occasion is optional, but will be much appreciated.
*
An independent jury will select the best vocabulary poster and
presentation.
*Vocabulary Carnival and LOV*
*
If your vocabulary is already recorded
at_http://lov.okn.org_ ,
check its record to see if everything is OK. Ping the LOV curators
if something is missing or inaccurate, or if you brush up a brand
new version for the Carnival. If you think your vocabulary is
LOV-able but not yet recorded, submit its URI
at_http://lov.okfn.org/dataset/lov/suggest/_
*
If your vocabulary is not yet meeting the technical requirements to
be included in LOV, and you wish it could, we can help you to
achieve that during the Carnival.
*About the Vocabulary Carnival*
The Vocabulary Carnival will be hosted at the SEMANTiCS conference, Sep
12-15 2016

Message-ID: <047272D289C1D14C9D54551BFDF8DE386C06BA3F@cirdan.zbw-nett.zbw-kiel.de>
Dear all,
I am pleased to announce that we have received an anonymous donation of $500 for student membership.
It has been recommended that students publishing in JASIS&T, prestigious regional publications or conferences and participation in chapter events and activities would receive special consideration. Students from Developing Nations, as described on the ASIST website, should receive special consideration. A student may be eligible for selection only one time.
It has also been recommended that
(1) each country representative (see http://www.asis.org/Chapters/europe/?page_id=18#members) can nominate one student;
(2) the EC Chair and Chair-elect can nominate one student each; and
(3) the Chair of Student Chapter can nominate one student.
Students can also be recommended or request consideration by submission of a request to the Chapter Chair (Isabella Peters; i.peters at zbw.eu).
So, please send us your nominations by Sunday, August 14th and describe in up to 280 characters why you think the student should become an ASIST member or what makes him or her deserve the free membership.
We hope to have representations from many countries, and we also want to reward and encourage student participation in chapter activities!
Please share this information widely!
All the best,
Isabella and Virginia

Subject: [Eurchap] Seeking EUChap members who have paper/poster/panel at
ASIS&T AM 2016 in Copenhagen and want to be promoted
Message-ID: <007801d1e8b8$7e489ed0$7ad9dc70$@informatik.uni-kiel.de>
Dear EUChap-Members,
decisions on the acceptance of contributions to the ASIS&T AM 2016 are
almost completely disseminated and I am wondering who of you got positive
news.
In order to raise awareness about contributions made by at least one member
of EUChap and about what are topics EUChap members are concerned with, I
would like to gather title, authors, country, and submission type (paper,
poster, panel, workshop) and distribute this information via our EUChap
mailing list and website (the SIGs and most US-schools brag about their
successes on a regular basis J).
I hope that this well help getting in touch with each other, promoting our
work, and creating a broader picture of European Information Science and
Practice.
Of course I could have crawled the program for this information but I would
like to give you the opportunity to opt-in.
Hence, please let me know by August 7, 2016 whether you?d like to be
included ? please attach according information then.
This year the ASIS&T headquarter also provided us with the opportunity to
particularly promote submissions with substantial contributions from EUChap
members. Those submissions can be mentioned in a special section of the
Conference Program and the link to EUChap would be made visible (something
like ?endorsed by EUChap?).
I thought that especially those accepted contributions which have been
discussed in our group before their submission (do you remember
https://docs.google.com/document/d/15rhwv9U9wWtxxTOWW1cxchwCOHp79J-i5zj_XDwl
-0g/edit?usp=sharing?) are eligible for that.
As far as I can see there are two panels consisting of many EUCHap members
and that have been discussed:
1) Panel Tomato tomahto: European perspectives on information science
(led by Julian Warner)
2) Open Innovation in Smart Cities: Civic Participation and Co-creation
of Public Services (led by Agnes Mainka)
@Agnes, Julian: what do you think about this special promotion? Is it
reasonable to link the panels with EUCHap?
I also found other panels who have a significant amount of Europeans on
their list:
1) Making research data possible: negotiating between disciplinary
cultures, temporalities, data policies, professional interests and education
and training (Kjellberg, Sara; Haider, Jutta; Cox, Andrew; Tam, Winnie;
Tammaro, Anna Maria; Matusiak, Krystyna K.)
2) Information Work in Information Science Research and Practice

Does it make sense to also endorse them?
@Isto, Anna: what do you think? Please let me know.
What about other papers/ workshops/ posters? I believe that submissions with
>50% authors from EUChap could be promoted also. But suggestions are
welcomed!
Please also inform me by August 7 (since the program has to be printed, as
HQ told me)!
Thank you and best wishes
Isabella

Enhancing lives through Information and Technology
A Combined SIG-SI and SIG-USE Full-Day Workshop:
The Social Informatics of Work and Play (SIG-SI): Morning
Information Behavior in Workplaces (SIG-USE): Afternoon
ASIS&T Annual Meeting, Copenhagen, Denmark
October 15, 2016

Join us at ASIS&T in Copenhagen for a full-day pre-conference workshop to explore the ways in which our uses of information and technologies improve our work and social lives. Two vital and dynamic SIGs are joining forces for a workshop that will provide two interesting and complementary perspectives in the conference theme.
In the morning session, SIG-SI will bring a perspective that focuses on the social aspects of information and communication technologies (ICT) in work and play across all areas of ASIS&T. In the afternoon session, SIG-USE will focus on information related activities from different research perspectives and explores the significance of information seeking and use on our lives.
Submissions may include empirical, critical, conceptual and theoretical papers and posters, as well as richly described practice cases and demonstrations. The combined workshop will allow networking between members of both SIGs during the day.
MORNING: THE SOCIAL INFORMATICS OF WORK AND PLAY (SIG SI)
This year?s conference theme is ?creating knowledge, enhancing lives through information & technology.? This is a particularly apposite theme for SIG-SI, because the social impacts of ICT and the complex relations among people, technologies, and the contexts of ICT design, implementation, and use have long been core concerns of social informatics. The SIG-SI morning session, our 12th annual gathering at ASIS&T annual meetings, will bring a critical perspective that focuses on the social aspects of ICT that cuts across all areas of ASIS&T This year, we are particularly interested in papers that investigate the social informatics of work and play.
We define ?social? broadly to include critical and historical approaches as well as contemporary social analysis. We also define ?technology? broadly to include traditional technologies (e.g., paper, books, etc.), state-of-the-art computer systems, and mobile and pervasive devices. Submissions may include papers and posters that explore the ways in which people?s uses of ICT affect their practices and behaviors while at work, play, and engaged in their social lives.
We are particularly interested in work that assumes a critical stance towards the Symposium?s theme, but are also soliciting research on other related social informatics topics. We encourage all scholars interested in social aspects of ICT (broadly defined) to share their research and research in progress by submitting an extended abstract of their work and attending the symposium. Some of the questions we ask include:
? What are the impacts of ICT on people?s practices and behaviors while at work, play, and engaged in their social lives?
? What are some of the ways our work and play practices shape the design and development of ICT?
? What are the ways ICT positively and negatively impact organizations, work, play, and social life?
? What kinds of theoretical and methodological frameworks are best suited for studying the mutual shaping of ICT and practices and behaviors while at work and play?
The schedule for the morning session of the symposium will involve the presentations of papers, a panel of distinguished scholars, and the best social informatics paper awards for 2015. We expect an engaging discussion with lively interactions with the audience.

AFTERNOON: INFORMATION BEHAVIOUR IN WORKPLACES (SIG-USE)
This year?s SIG USE symposium focuses on information issues at work. It acknowledges social, individual and technological perspectives on the roles and flows that information takes as part of physical and digital work. The broad approach relates to the conference theme with a focus on information behavior (IB) or on information practices (IP) in connection to workplaces.
Earlier generations were accustomed to stable and localized work; now work activities and contexts have and are radically changing. During their work life, people may experience several career changes, are expected to learn new skills and adapt to new ideas as well as manage the increasingly fluid boundaries between work and leisure. Moreover, much of information and data are internetworked and accessible simultaneously by multiple mobile devices supporting networked communities anyplace, anywhere, anytime. This challenges both the creation and consumption of information used for work ? or at work; it also affects how, when and where people work, as well as their productivity, collegiality and innovativeness.
Despite, or perhaps due to, the advances in technology, today?s workplaces remain challenged by how to create, discover, share, value and enhance information and knowledge at and for work; and, how to design and manage the systems that support these functions, which are so critical to organizationally effective and individually rewarding work. The issues are many, from the consequences of new devices that are stretching the ways that an organization works, to the efficacy dynamics (stress, motivation, collaboration, productivity, age, etc.) and to the new skills and expertise required to work in such changing and changeable environments. Information is indispensable in many, if not all, workplace activities; as a resource for getting work done as well as for learning, managing change, developing and maintaining processes and creating professional networks.
Specific issues to be addressed depend on the interest of the participants and the issues they bring into the workshop. Welcome topics include:
? Critical cultural information behavior ? how do we infuse our workplaces and practices with diversity and social justice sensibilities?
? Collaborative IB; virtual team
? Digital workplaces, peopleless offices & officeless people - what happens when the physical workplace dissolves?
? Everyday Life Information (in the workplace)
? Frameworks for understanding IB/IP in work settings
? IB/IP and workplace or information systems design
? Organizational behaviour research - what can we learn from this field of research that is relevant to IB/IP?
? Organizational information genres
? Personal Information Management (in the workplace)
? The blurring of lines between personal and professional in digital information use in the workplace
? The impact of mobile devices on IB/IP in the workplace
? Workplace culture, diversity and inclusion - how these shape and are shaped by information behaviour (IB)/information practices (IP)?
? and any other work-related informational topics
We aim to an interactive workshop to enable the fullest exchange of ideas amongst attendees. For this reason, we encourage participants to submit; even if participation without a paper/poster is an eligible option. The workshop features a keynote by Professor Hazel Hall (preliminarily confirmed), presentation of selected papers, a joint poster session between the SIGs, and roundtable discussions based on short papers and posters by participants.
Documentation: short papers and posters are shared digitally among the participants. Roundtable discussions are documented by a designated person in each group and collated by symposium chairs to a short summary that is made available for the participants afterwards.
