I am excited to announce a half-day workshop at IDCC17 on Educating Information Professionals and Researchers in Research Data Management. * When: Thursday afternoon, February 23, 2017 * Workshop organisers: Dr. Helen R. Tibbo, Alumni Distinguished Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Robin Rice, Data Librarian (Mantra Service), University of Edinburgh; William Kilbride, Executive Director, DPC. * Description: This workshop aims to present brief overviews of key international RDM education efforts with a synthesizing overview of research progress in this area. Helen Tibbo will report on "Research Data Management and Sharing." the MOOC (Massively Open Online Course), produced by the CRADLE project-- (cradle.web.unc.edu) - and the University of Edinburgh's MANTRA (datalib.edina.ac.uk/mantra) program. CRADLE is an IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services)-funded project undertaken by the School of Information and Library Science and the Odum Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. CRADLE partnered with MANTRA to produce a MOOC that is relevant to librarians, archivists, and other information professionals tasked with research data management and preservation as well as to researchers themselves. This is the first international MOOC on data management, curation, and preservation and can be found at: https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-management. Tibbo will also report on a project to provide disciplinary data profiles to support the MOOC and make it more relevant to researchers in a number of fields. Robin Rice will provide an update on MANTRA and RDM efforts at the University of Edinburgh, reflect on her experience with the Coursera MOOC, and discuss how this tool might be enhanced for librarians and especially researchers. William Kilbride will talk about the DPC's "Getting Started" and "Making Progress" workshop series and discuss how fundamental preservation concepts are essential to RDM plans and training and lead the panel in a discussion of where RDM education is, how far it has come, and where it needs to go. These presentations will provide the audience with a starting point for breakout sessions. Breakout groups will discuss questions that may include but are not limited to: * How do you handle data training at your institution? * How do (or could) you mix online and face to face resources? * How do (or could) you collaborate across your institution to deliver training? * What are your professional needs in RDM (education for librarians/archivists)? * What tools would make your researcher support for RDM easier and more effective? * What lessons have you learned from working with research on their RDM needs? * The Target Audiences for this workshop are individuals who are 1) librarians/archivists supporting researchers in RDM; 2) RDM educators; and 3) researchers interested in learning about RDM training opportunities. Hope to see you in Edinburgh! -Helen Dr. Helen R.

These changes call for novel analytical tools and methodologies for making sense of large amounts of heterogeneous data, for deriving diverse kinds of knowledge, and for linking across different collections and research disciplines. Thus the theme of the 2017 conference is #TOScale #TOAnalyze #TODiscover. Digital libraries must improve outreach efforts, engage diverse communities, and provide scholars and users with effective and flexible access to materials which will in turn empower them to make new observations and discoveries. This year, we particularly invite papers, panels, workshops, and tutorials that present new discovery methods for diverse kinds of collections and datasets (e.g., documents, images, sounds, videos), that apply recent technologies in related fields like machine learning and data mining, and that report on innovative digital library applications that engage diverse communities, facilitate user access, and enable discovery and exploration in all domains including science, art, and the humanities. This year, in addition to the research-oriented program, we are organizing a practitioners? day so experts and practitioners can share their experiences and report on major projects. Practitioner contributions will take the form of posters and demos. Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full range of established and emerging disciplines and professions including computer science, information science, web science, data science, digital humanities, librarianship, data management, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, information technology, medicine, social sciences, education and the humanities. Representatives from academe, government, industry, and others are invited to participate. TOPICS JCDL welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of digital libraries such as: collection discovery and development, hybrid physical/digital collections; knowledge discovery; applications of machine learning and AI; services; digital preservation; system design; scientific data management; infrastructure and service design; implementation; interface design; human-computer interaction; performance evaluation; user research; crowdsourcing and human computation; intellectual property; privacy; electronic publishing; document genres; multimedia; user communities; and associated theoretical topics. Submissions that resonate with JCDL 2017 theme are especially welcome, although we will give equal consideration to all topics in digital libraries. SUBMISSIONS Full papers report on mature work, or efforts that have reached an important milestone, and must not exceed 10 pages. Accepted full papers will typically be presented in 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Short papers may highlight preliminary results to bring them to the community?s attention. They may also present theories or systems that can be described concisely in the limited space. Short papers must not exceed 4 pages in the conference format. Accepted short papers will typically be presented in 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions and discussion. Posters permit presentation of late-breaking results in an informal, interactive manner. Demonstrations showcase innovative digital library technologies and applications, allowing you to share your work directly with your colleagues in a high-visibility setting. Proposals for posters or demonstrations should consist of a title, extended abstract, and contact information for the authors, and should not exceed 2 pages in the conference format. Accepted posters and demonstrations will be displayed at the conference. All paper submissions (full/short papers, posters and demos) should use the ACM Proceedings template and are to be submitted in electronic format via the conference's EasyChair submission page [forthcoming-see website for link http://2017.jcdl.org/call-for-papers]. All accepted papers will be published by the ACM as conference proceedings and electronic versions will be included in both the ACM and IEEE digital libraries. ------------ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE GENERAL CO-CHAIRS * Robert H.

We?re continuing the datathon program in 2017, and are excited to bring this program to the Internet Archive.** The World Wide Web has a profound impact on how we research and understand the past. The sheer amount of cultural information that is generated and, crucially, preserved every day in electronic form, presents exciting new opportunities for researchers. Much of this information is captured within web archives. Web archives often contain hundreds of billions of web pages, ranging from individual homepages and social media posts, to institutional websites. These archives offer tremendous potential for social scientists and humanists, and the questions research may pose stretch across a multitude of fields. Scholars broaching topics dating back to the mid-1990s will find their projects enhanced by web data. Moreover, scholars hoping to study the evolution of cultural and societal phenomena will find a treasure trove of data in web archives. In short, web archives offer the ability to reconstruct large-scale traces of the relatively recent past. While there has been considerable discussion about web archive tools and datasets, few forums or mechanisms for coordinated, mutually informing development efforts have been created. Our series of datathons presents an opportunity to collaboratively unleash our web collections, exploring cutting-edge research tools while fostering a broad-based consensus on future directions in web archive analysis. This event will bring together a small group of 20-30 participants to collaboratively develop new open-source tools and approaches to web archives, and to kick-off collaboratively inspired research projects. Researchers should be comfortable with command line interactions, and knowledge of a scripting language (such as but not limited to Python) is strongly desired. By bringing together a group of like-minded scholars and programmers, we hope to begin building unified analytic production effort and to continue coalescing this nascent research community. At this event, we hope to continue to converge on a shared vision of future directions in the use of web archives for inquiry in the humanities and social sciences in order to build a community of practice around various web archive analytics platforms and tools. ***Please also save the date! Archives Unleashed 4.0 will be held at the British Library in London, UK, June 11 - 13. Check back here http://archivesunleashed.com/au4-0-british-invasion/ for more details *** Thanks to the generous support of the National Science Foundation, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the University of Waterloo?s Department of History, the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science and the University of Waterloo, and the School of Communication and Information at Rutgers University, we will cover lunches and refreshments for attendees. We are also providing sample datasets for people to work on during the datathon, or they are happy to use their own. Included datasets are: * the .gov web archive covering the American government domain * the End of Term Web Archives (.gov/.mil), from 2008, 2012, and 2016 * social media collectios from the 2016 archive * Canadian Political Parties and Political Interest Groups collection * and other datasets to be announced We will also have datasets from the Internet Archive's recent event available, some noted above and the rest available at http://blog.archive.org/2017/01/02/join-us-for-a-white-house-social-media-and-gov-data-hackathon/. Those interested in participating should send a 250-word expression of interest and a CV to Matthew Weber (matthew.weber at rutgers.edu) by 20 January 2017 with ?Archives Unleashed? in the subject line. This expression of interest should address the scholarly questions that you will be bringing to the datathon, and what datasets you might be interested in either working with or bringing to the event. Applicants will be notified by 25 January 2017. We expect to be able to issue a limited number of travel grants available for US-based graduate students; preference will be given to those who have not participated in the Archives Unleashed program in the past, although we welcome returning participants. These grants can cover up to $750 in expenses. If you are in an eligible position, please indicate in your statement of interest that you would like to be considered for the travel grant.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <95d567c1b5b847ebc95f8cb38a6d0750@mail.gmail.com> Hi, Robin. My team has built a product called Starfish ( www.StarfishStorage.com) which is designed specifically for managing the life cycle of scientific research data and digital collections. We built in Bagit support specifically for the Library of Congress who was one of our earliest clients. Our software is designed to handle billions (with a B!) of files and we are able to break up large jobs into smaller batches so that we can attack the job in parallel. We use the Library of Congress Bagit code library. If you are managing scientific research data, you would probably love our product vision. We enable you to associate metadata with files and directories in live file systems, such that you can start the curation process right when the files are created. Metadata can then drive the scientific pipeline or be derived from the scientific pipeline. I work for both Cambridge Computer and Starfish.

Currently, Archivematica relies on tsk recover which only recognizes 18 file systems ; correct file system identification is necessary for identifying and invoking the correct tools for all subsequent steps in an Archivematica pipeline. The first main development task in this project will be a pre-ingest script, which could be used alone or in Automation Tools, that identifies and records the file system of a disk image. Subsequent tasks will be to develop tools that can characterize and extract files from HFS disk images.
