[Sigcr-l] ASIS&T AM 2010 - potential panelists?

Thu Jan 21 22:04:42 EST 2010

Hi, Allyson, Diane and all,
1. If we could have a FRBR-family related session it will match the idea of the year of cataloging research.
Our FRSAD final report should be out by then.  FRAD was published in 2009.  Yin Zhang and Athena Salaba's research on FRBR's implementation may be part of this, if not presented at ASIST yet. Allyson also have lots to say about this since the special ASIS Bulletin on FRBR.

2. The ASIST Standards Committee may focus on the updates of W3C standards, including SKOS (2009), OWL 2, and the new HTML5 "microdata" vocabularies.
For SKOS it will be great to have an implementation-related session.  If SIG-CR would like to co-sponsor this, we (the Standards Committee) will be very glad to work with you.

Hi Diane and all,
As I said in Vancouver, I would like to work on a panel highlighting cataloging research, to connect up with ALA/ALCTS's declaration of 2010 to be the year of cataloging research.  I think there were others in the room who were interested in helping (Jane G? other?).

Dear SIG CR Members,

ASIS&T has announced the 2010 Annual Meeting CFP - see below.

If anybody would be interested in serving on a panel oriented toward any of
CR's interest areas, please let me know, and I will be happy to facilitate
its organization - or, at the very least, bring like-minded individuals
together for brainstorming. Here are the panel submission requirements, from
the CFP:

"Proposals for panels (4-6 participants maximum) are invited on topics that
include emerging cutting-edge research and design, analyses of hot or
emerging trends, opinions on controversial issues, analyses of tools and
techniques, and contrasting viewpoints from experts in complementary
professional areas. Panels are not a substitute for a set of contributed
papers, but must have a cohesive theme and promote lively interaction
between panellists and audience members. Submit two to four pages that
provide an overview of the issues to be discussed by the panel. Proposals
should also list panellists who have agreed to participate and indicate the
qualifications and contribution that each panellist will offer."

Announcements are coming soon regarding the CR workshop.

Thanks,
Diane Neal
Chair, SIG CR

reviewing committee to ensure that the conference meets your high
expectations for standards and quality. A team of respected reviewers,
experts in their fields, will assist with a rigorous peer-review process.

submissions accordingly.

Track 3 - Information Systems, Interactivity and Design
Track 4 - Information and Knowledge Management

science, each may be focused by additional elements.
