The RDAP summit will focus the state of institutional repositories in the academy and government agencies and efforts toward interoperability across these emerging systems. Clifford Lynch will keynote the meeting and the summit will include panels that focus on different approaches to building and operating IRs, efforts to support national (e.g., NSF?s data stewardship requirements) and scholarly (e.g., open and commercial publishers) linkages to IRs, and open discussions about the future of IRs and digital libraries.

The lecture will take place at the downtown Hyatt Regency Lexington Hotel (401 West High Street) at 4PM, in conjunction with the annual Public Health Systems and Services Research (PHSSR) Keeneland Conference. A reception will follow the lecture. The lecture will be the first in an annual series funded by the American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T). This year's lecture funding went to the School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) of the University of Kentucky. Other co-sponsors include the UK College of Communication and Information Studies (CCIS), the College of Public Health (CPH), and the Ohio River Valley chapter of ASIS&T (ORVASIST). Dr. Fuller's speech will focus on her work on developing health information systems (from individual patient records to building integrated databases and tools to support disease surveillance). She will discuss how the established model of information systems to support intervention is leading to what she calls "prevention informatics," in which information systems help prevent disease in the first place. She will discuss how the use of information and communications technologies for improving health in low resource settings. She believes that many of the information systems problems in developing countries are mirrored in a variety of ways in the United States. Dr. Fuller is a Professor in both the School of Public Health and the Information School, of the University of Washington. Professor Fuller is also Co-Director of the UW Center for Public Health Informatics. She received her BA (Biology) and MLS (information Science) degrees from Indiana University and her PhD (Information Science) from the University of Southern California. Dr. Fuller is a Fellow of both the American College of Medical Informatics and the Medical Library Association (MLA).

The effects of the World Wide Web and more recently Web 2.0, computers, and telecommunications on societies have emerged to cover new form of social cyberspace as reference to digital society or e-Society. In fact, the e-Society is the result of an emerging era of digitalizing different forms of multimedia information making time and space compression a constant evolving task. E-Society represents a revolutionary change in the way people interact with each others? beyond countries boundaries. It provides individuals, such as end-users and organizations, the ability to easily share and publish corporate data, visions, and strategies. Nonetheless, with this emerging social interaction and the wide range of shared data, several privacy and confidentiality concerns arise. Mechanisms used to harvest social information represent a privacy threat for users in many situations and such concerns fall beyond security administrators? duties and target end-users in their daily tasks. Approaches proposed in the literature to provide safe data publishing have several drawbacks related, on one hand, to the heterogeneous types of data addressed, and, on the other hand, to complexity in specifying privacy and security rules. Topics ------- The aim of the 1st International Workshop on Security and Privacy Preserving in e-Societies is to pin down the latest techniques, studies, and approaches related to security and privacy preserving in the digital society in the following (but not limited) topics: * Access control * Content protection * Data protection * Database security * Data association detection * Data integrity * Information hiding * Inference detection * Inference elimination * Knowledge discovery and privacy * Multimedia mining threats * Multimedia security * Multimedia privacy * Multimedia hiding * Network security * Network intrusion detection * Quantifying threat * Social networks security * Social networks privacy preserving * Security and privacy policies * Security metrics * Secure cloud computing * Watermarking and steganography * Wireless and mobile security Accepted papers will be published by ACM and fully indexed by ACM Digital Library and DBLP (pending). Important Dates --------------- Full Papers Submission: March 31, 2011 Notification of Paper Acceptance: April 30, 2011 Camera Ready Papers: May 15, 2011 Submissions ----------- Papers should be submitted in electronic form (PDF) using the conference website. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper.

While conceptually very simple, the linked data model is a significant departure from our current models that are based on records and database technologies. We'll cover the underlying entity-relationship structure, "triples" and "statements," the importance of identifiers and vocabularies. In addition, we will look briefly at the functionality that this model supports and the user benefits that come with it. Linked Data, Tools and Technologies Date: March 15th 2011 11:30pm ? 12:30pm Cost: ASIS&T Members: $25 Non-Members: $59 Presenter: Karen Coyle Register at http://www.asis.org/Conferences/webinars/2011/linked-data.html The Semantic Web Activity of the W3C defines the basic requirements for linked data functionality, starting with four rules and moving on with specific standards for data definition, identification, and discovery. This webinar will describe some of the basic data and software standards, as well as demonstrate implementations such as existing registries and vocabularies. Some of the issues for discussion will be data and vocabulary maintenance, the question of data provenance, and techniques for metadata extension. We will briefly explore some current linked data activities in cultural heritage organizations. Speaker: Karen Coyle Karen Coyle is a librarian with over thirty years of experience with library technology. She now consults in a variety of areas relating to digital libraries. Karen has published dozens of articles and reports, most available on her web site, kcoyle.net. She has served on standards committees including the MARC standards group (MARBI), NISO committee AX for the OpenURL standard, and was an ALA representative to the e-book standards development that led to the ePub standard.
