Authority data held in library systems, including classification schemes find new ways of expanding its potential as shared knowledge structures across the linked data environment. The objective of this conference is to explore such a potential, expanding the value and use of classification as authority controlled vocabulary, from the local perspective to the global environment. We invite experts in authority control, classification schemes and linked data to provide overviews, illustrations and analysis of classification data management and exploitation. Contributions are welcome on high quality, innovative research and practice on the following topics: ? Classification as a component of subject authority control ? Classification authority data formats and modeling ? Classification and multilingual subject access ? Sharing classification data from authority files ? Classification data in the open linked data context CONTRIBUTIONS: Two kinds of contributions are invited: conference papers and posters. Authors should submit a paper proposal in the form of an extended abstract (1000-1200 words, including references, for papers; and 500-600 words for posters). The submission form is provided on the conference website. Proposals will be reviewed by the Programme Committee consisting of an international panel of experts. Each submission will undergo a blind review by at least three reviewers. The Conference proceedings will be published by Ergon Verlag and will be distributed at the conference. IMPORTANT DATES 8 March 2015 Paper proposal submission deadline 23 March 2015 Notification of acceptance & paper submission instructions 15 May 2015 Papers submission (camera ready copy) ORGANIZER: Classification & Authority Control: Expanding Resource Discovery is the fifth biennial conference in a series of International UDC Seminars organized by the UDC Consortium (UDCC). UDCC is a not-for-profit organization, based in The Hague, established to maintain and distribute the Universal Decimal Classification and to support its use and development. UDC is one of the most widely used knowledge organization systems in the bibliographic domain. === From announce at dublincore.net Mon Mar 16 14:34:19 2015 From: announce at dublincore.net (DCMI Announce) Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:34:19 -0700 Subject: [sigCR] =?utf-8?q?EXTENDED_Call_for_Participation_for_DC-2015_in_?= =?utf-8?q?S=C3=A3o_Paulo=2C_Brazil?= Message-ID: ***Apologies for cross-posting*** *EXTENDED CALL FOR DC-2015 PARTICIPATION* DCMI 20th Anniversary International Conference & Annual Meeting September 1-5, 2015 ?

The work agenda of the DCMI community is broad and inclusive of all aspects of innovation in metadata design, implementation and best practices. While the work of the Initiative progresses throughout the year, the annual meeting and conference provide the opportunity for DCMI "citizens" as well as newcomers, students, apprentices, and early career professionals to gather face-to-face to share experiences and knowledge. In addition, the gathering provides public- and private-sector initiatives beyond DCMI that are doing significant metadata work to come together to compare notes and cast a broader light into their particular metadata work silos. Through such a gathering of the metadata communities, DCMI advances its "first goal" of promoting metadata interoperability and harmonization. This year, the annual meeting and conference are being hosted by the Universidade Estadual Paulista--S?o Paulo State University (UNESP) and held in S?o Paulo, Brazil. *=================* *Conference Organizers:* --*Universidade Estadual Paulista*--S?o Paulo State University (UNESP) --*Dublin Core Metadata Initiative* (DCMI) *=================* *Conference Chairs:* --Pl?cida Santos, Professor & Conference Chair Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Brazil --Mariana Curado Malta, Chair, Program Committee CEISE/ISCAP - Polytechnic of Oporto, Portugal Algoritmi Center - University of Minho, Portugal --Silvana Borsetti Gregorio Vidotti, Professor Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Brazil --Fl?via Maria Bastos, CGB Coordinator General Coordination of Libraries Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Brazil From announce at dublincore.net Mon Mar 16 18:10:00 2015 From: announce at dublincore.net (DCMI Announce) Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:10:00 -0700 Subject: [sigCR] DCMI Webinar: "Approaches to Making Dynamic Data Citable: Recommendations of the RDA Working Group" Message-ID: ******************Please excuse the cross postings****************** *DCMI/ASIST Joint Webinar* "*Approaches to Making Dynamic Data Citable: Recommendations of the RDA Working Group*" *:: Presenter:* Andreas Rauber *:: Date:* Wednesday, 8 April 2015 *:: Time:* 10:00am - 11:15am EDT (World Clock: 14:00 UTC http://bit.ly/Webinar-Andreas_Rauber) *:: Registration:* http://dublincore.org/resources/training/#2015rauber *ABOUT THE WEBINAR:* Being able to reliably and efficiently identify entire or subsets of data in large and dynamically growing or changing datasets constitutes a significant challenge for a range of research domains. In order to repeat an earlier study, to apply data from an earlier study to a new model, we need to be able to precisely identify the very subset of data used. While verbal descriptions of how the subset was created (e.g. by providing selected attribute ranges and time intervals) are hardly precise enough and do not support automated handling, keeping redundant copies of the data in question does not scale up to the big data settings encountered in many disciplines today. Furthermore, we need to be able to handle situations where new data gets added or existing data gets corrected or otherwise modified over time. Conventional approaches, such as assigning persistent identifiers to entire data sets or individual subsets or data items, are thus not sufficient. In this webinar, Andreas Rauber will review the challenges identified above and discuss solutions that are currently elaborated within the context of the working group of the Research Data Alliance (RDA) on Data Citation: Making Dynamic Data Citeable. The approach is based on versioned and time-stamped data sources, with persistent identifiers being assigned to the time-stamped queries/expressions that are used for creating the subset of data. We will further review results from the first pilots evaluating the approach. *ABOUT THE PRESENTER:* Andreas Rauber is Associate Professor at the Department of Software Technology and Interactive Systems (IFS ) at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien ). He furthermore is president of AARIT , the Austrian Association for Research in IT and a Key Researcher at Secure Business Austria (SBA-Research). He is co-chairing the RDA Working Group on Data Citation together with Ari Asmi and Dieter van Uytvanck. He received his MSc and PhD in Computer Science from the Vienna University of Technology in 1997 and 2000, respectively. In 2001 he joined the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) in Pisa as an ERCIM Research Fellow, followed by an ERCIM Research position at the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA), at Rocquencourt, France, in 2002. From 2004-2008 he was also head of the iSpaces research group at the eCommerce Competence Center .
