From evelyn at artefactual.com Mon Feb 5 18:45:08 2018 From: evelyn at artefactual.com (Evelyn McLellan) Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2018 15:45:08 -0800 Subject: [Pasig-discuss] Webinar: Preservation Metadata as Linked Data (Feb. 22, 2018, 12-1:30 EST) Message-ID: Announcement: Preservation Metadata as Linked Data: Revising the PREMIS OWL Ontology Webinar, Feb. 22, 2018 12:00-1:30 EST The PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata consists of a data model about the entities that are part of the process of preserving our valuable digital objects and details the information we need to know to preserve and use them in the future. A supporting XML schema allowed for wide implementation since the Data Dictionary was first released in 2005. Users have expressed a need to model it as Linked Data in RDF to provide a Linked Data-friendly data management function for a preservation repository, allowing for SPARQL querying. An OWL ontology was developed corresponding to the semantic units in version 2.2 and made available in 2013. After the PREMIS Editorial Committee revised the Data Dictionary with significant modeling changes in version 3, it formed the PREMIS OWL Ontology Revision Team to revise the ontology. The new ontology substantially remodeled the previous one, incorporating emerging Linked Data best practices and connections to other relevant RDF ontologies. The working group released a draft version in December 2017 and encourages people in the preservation, metadata and linked data communities to review and provide comments before it is finalized. To introduce the ontology to the community as well as help potential reviewers understand the goals, principles and features of it, the Revision team is conducting a webinar on Feb. 22, 2018 sponsored by the Library of Congress. There will be time for questions from attendees. Attendees are expected to be familiar with the PREMIS Data Dictionary and the functions of a preservation repository. The webinar will address the following: -The use cases considered for using preservation metadata in a Linked Data context -The principles that guided the development of the revision and how they support flexibility -How it reuses external ontologies (e.g. PROV-O, DC terms) and is integrated with the preservation vocabularies at http://id.loc.gov/preservationdescriptions/ -Its robust ways of representing relationships between the main PREMIS entities (Objects, Events, Agents and Rights) and between different objects in the repository -How the community can contribute to the process of finalizing and implementing it Presenters include: Rebecca Guenther, Consultant, Library of Congress Evelyn McLellan, Artefactual Systems Bertrand Caron, Biblioth?que nationale de France Elizabeth Russy-Roke, Emory University Please join us on Feb. 22 at 12:00-1:30(?) EST at the following: http://login.icohere.com/PCC?pnum=SHC58987 It is not necessary to sign up in advance. A recording of the session and the slides will be made available.

The opportunities afforded by these technologies are enormous, as are the challenges of ensuring that ethical and human-centered perspectives, including sustainability, privacy, human agency and equity, are incorporated into their design and use. As interdisciplinary information science and technology researchers and practitioners, with an 80 year tradition of studying and working in this rapidly evolving field, we are uniquely situated to steward and mediate this shift. ASIS&T 2018 will provide an opportunity to learn from one another and from leading experts in these emerging technologies; to discuss, critique and pose the much-needed questions; and to share perspectives grounded in our own research and practice that intersect with and provide context for current developments. The ASIS&T Annual Meeting is a premier, peer-reviewed international conference that gathers scholars and practitioners from around the globe to share research, innovations, and insights regarding the role of information and technology in the lives of individuals, organizations and communities. We invite papers, posters and visual presentations, panel and workshop submissions that focus on the conference theme, as well as work that reflects the broader mandate of ASIS&T, regarding the creation, representation, storage, access, dissemination and use of information, media and records, and the systems, tools, and technologies associated with these processes. The conference embraces plurality in methods and theories, and encompasses research, development and practice from a broad spectrum of domains, as encapsulated in ASIS&T's many special interest groups (SIGs). We are pleased to announce that the ASIS&T 2018 Proceedings will be published by John Wiley & Sons and will be indexed and accessible via multiple international venues. Please note that at least one of the authors must register for the conference in order for a paper to be accepted and published in the proceedings. ------------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSION INFORMATION The Conftool submission site is available here: ConfTool Submission Site (https://www.conftool.com/asist2018/index.php) All submissions for Papers, Panels, Workshops & Visual Presentations must be formatted according to the guidelines provided in the ASIS&T AM template, as this is the required format for inclusion in the Proceedings.

It is also a critical time to look to the future and to the technical, legal, ethical and organisational challenges that saving the web for citizens and for researchers continue to present. As established web archives mature and new initiatives emerge, web archive artefacts and data become more valuable for our understanding of societies, politics, cultures and economies in a world of increasingly contested narratives. In 2018 the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) will celebrate 15 years as the premier international body fostering the development of web archiving tools, standards, practice and research. For the first time in a decade, the IIPC's annual web archiving conference will come to Australasia, providing a rare opportunity for web curators, librarians, archivists, historians, humanists, researchers, developers, computer scientists and others interested in the preservation of world's web heritage to come together at this international forum in the southern hemisphere. Proposals on all aspects of web archiving practice as well as researching and using web archives are invited. Particularly welcome are proposals related to the Australasian, Asia Pacific and southern hemisphere regions; proposals from the perspective of new users and researchers; and proposals addressing the major conference themes of histories and futures. Potential topics include: Building web archives * Harvesting approaches, tools and challenges * Collection development and curation * Legal and ethical issues in collecting content Maintaining web archive content and operations * Preservation and sustainability issues and strategies * Institutional and organizational structures and approaches * Collection assessment and metrics * Collection management tools * Description and access Using and researching web archives * User experience and discovery * Legal, ethical or social aspects in accessing content * Tools, APIs and indexing for researching web archives * Research opportunities and challenges presented by web archives Web archive histories and futures * Initiatives and collaborations * Web archive stories and histories * National web domains * Web archives as repositories of 'truth' The programme committee invite proposals for: * 30 minute presentations (i.e., 20 minutes for presentation plus 10 minutes for questions) * 60 minute panel discussions or multi-presentations * Conference themed workshops (proposed length to be agreed with organisers) * Tutorials focusing on particular tools (proposed length to be agreed with organisers) * Posters with accompanying 5 minute lightning talks Proposals for presentations and panels must be submitted as an abstract of between 300 and 500 words.
