Jody Perkins Digital Scholarship Librarian Center for Digital Scholarship Miami University Oxford, OH 45056 513.529.0135 ------ DARIAH, DiRT, and DHCommons, as a first step in their international effort to produce a registry of digital humanities resources (e.g., projects, people, institutions, methods, tools, educational resources) has produced a draft of a taxonomy of scholarly activities and objects that will act as the back-end to this proposed registry. This taxonomy has been developed for use by more than just our joint project, however, being developed for use by any community-driven site or project that aims to make information relevant to digital humanities more easily discoverable. The taxonomy is expected to be particularly useful to endeavors aiming to collect information on digital humanities tools, methods, projects, or readings. The initial partners that have committed to adopting the taxonomy are DARIAH?s Zotero-based bibliography, the DiRT (Digital Research Tools) directory, and centerNet?s DHCommons project directory. DARIAH-EU has also committed to using this taxonomy as a basis for further development into a more complex ontology of digital scholarly methods, ensuring the continued updating and existence of the work presented here. In order to make this taxonomy as widely useful as possible, we hope to collect broad input from the community. To this end, we are asking you for your input. A draft of the taxonomy exists as a Google Doc here: http://bit.ly/17UsWiU. Anyone with this link can comment on the document. Please leave comments in the document itself, or email the taxonomy coordinators listed at the end of this email. Feedback will be open until Friday, September 27th. After that point, the coordinators will review and incorporate comments, with the goal of putting the taxonomy in place on DiRT, DHCommons, and DARIAH?s Zotero bibliography in early October. This already usable taxonomy will then be further developed into a full-blown ontology by the NeDiMAH project in Europe and maintained beyond that time by DARIAH. We are not trying to produce the mother of all ontologies. Instead, we are trying to produce something that is useful, that can be updated easily, and that will be maintained for many years. If you are interested in having your voice heard in this endeavor, please take a few minutes to read through the document and give us your input. On behalf of all the coordinators in this project, I would like to thank you in advance for your input. Feel free at any time to email any or all of us with any questions you may have.

The program is extremely rich in content and will draw attendance from scholars and practitioners from information related fields all over the world. The conference program focuses on research and technological development on the latest issues affecting information environments, information phenomena, and information users. The program sets to provide a wide range of research topics and related practical issues such as cloud-based metadata, biomedical research, social informatics to collective information seeking, adoption of social media, digital humanities and human information interaction, among others. We hope that the discussions generated by the papers, panels and posters will contribute to expand our understanding of information problems and to help us in better addressing them in our research and professional endeavors. Keynote speaker: Jorge Garcia, a Montreal-based expert in the area of business intelligence and data management. His work involves the assessment and implementation of information technologies. This year, the Annual Meeting follows the 9th International Conference on Knowledge Management (ICKM), another great venue for learning about developments in information and knowledge management. The presence of ICKM attendees at ASIS&T Annual Meeting should provide additional opportunities for great discussions. http://asis.org/asist2013/ .
