JCDL Workshop of possible interest: Integrating Digital Library Content with Computational Tools and Services ( 6/19 in Austin). Pardon the forward! -Jodi Begin forwarded message: > From: "J. Stephen Downie" <[log in to unmask]> > Date: April 9, 2009 10:35:15 AM EDT > To: undisclosed-recipients: ; > Subject: [Asis-l] CFP: JCDL 09 Workshop On Integrating Digital > Library Content, with Computational Tools and Services > Reply-To: [log in to unmask] > > Workshop On Integrating Digital Library Content > with Computational Tools and Services > > A Full Day Workshop > > 19 June 2009 > ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL 2009) > Austin, Texas, USA > > See http://www.music-ir.org/sgdl-workshop/sgdl-cfp.pdf for a more > complete CFP. > > INTRODUCTION > Over the past ten years, the development, deployment and use of “first > generation” digital libraries (DL) have matured into a stable use > paradigm: the browsing, searching and then retrieving of digital > materials. With recent strides being made in the areas of data mining, > high performance computing, semantic web, linked-data, and web- > services, > etc. exciting new opportunities are arising to create “second > generation > digital libraries” (SGDL) by extending the standard DL use paradigm to > include the analysis of the retrieved materials in a tightly > integrated > manner. It is the purpose of this workshop to bring together all > those that are interested in creating SGDL systems by making this > analytic extension to the DL use paradigm a reality. > > The workshop organizers are currently involved in several SGDL > technology projects that deal with both humanities and scientific > data sets: > > 1. Networked Environment for Music Analysis > (NEMA; http://nema.lis.uiuc.edu) > 2. Metadata Data Offer New Knowledge (MONK; http://monkproject.org) > 3. MyExperiment (http://myexperiment.org) > 4. Networked Environmental Sonic-Toolkits for Exploratory Research > (NESTER; http://nester.lis.uiuc.edu) > 5. The Software Environment for the Advancement of Scholarly Research > (SEASR; http://seasr.org) and its Meandre infrastructure system > (http://seasr.org/meandre). > > In order to encourage the exchange of technologies, experiences and > ideas, the workshop is soliciting participants drawn from the > following > communities: > > 1.CONTENT SPECIALISTS > > a. Content Scholarship: Researchers, scholars and educators with > interest in more fully engaging with and more fully exploiting the > content of digital libraries and similar repositories of digital > materials > > b. Content Provision: Digital librarians, digital archivists and data > curators, etc. who want to better serve their users by providing > extended mechanisms by which uses can select, manipulate and then > perform sophisticated analyses on the selected materials. > > 2. DEVELOPMENT SPECIALISTS > > a. Digital Library Development: Digital library software developers > and > administrators, etc. who are engaged at the coding level with the > creation, modification and/or administration of digital library and > digital repository software. > > b. Tool and Service Development: Computer scientists, semantic > web/linked-data experts, web-services developers, data mining > researchers, computation musicologists, and digital humanists, etc. > who > are developing analytic tools that should be better integrated into > digital library and digital repository installations. > > > 3. Call for Participation: > > We invite the participation of all interested parties. You may > participate at one or more level(s): > > 1. Presenter > 2. Panelist > 3. General Participant Presentations and/or demonstrations are > solicited > that cover such topics as: > > 1. Prototype or deployed systems that have SGDL capabilities > 2. Prototype or deployed analytic toolkits that could play a role in > creating SGDL systems > 3. Use case scenarios based upon actual or intended SGDL capabilities > 4. Intellectual property issues surrounding content accessibility and > exploitation > 5. Intellectual property issues surrounding the integration of foreign > tools into extant DL systems > (i.e., license incompatibilities). > 6. Interface, security and user management issues > 7. Computational infrastructure issues (i.e., providing compute cycles > for the analyses and storage of results) > 8. Standards, either extant or proposed, that can help generalize the > integration process across unique collections and tools > > > Formal papers are not required. However, we do want to have an > extended > abstracts 2-4 pages (JCDL format) for the demos and presentations > along > with appropriate presentation materials (copies of slides, > charts, etc.) for inclusion in the workshop information package. > > Submission requirements: > > Whether you want to participate as a General Participant, Presenter > and/or Panelist, we would like you to contact the Workshop Chair ASAP. > We would like to have your name, background information, contact > information, and the level at which wish to participate. For those > wishing to present we would also appreciate brief abstract of your > proposed lecture/demonstration along with any special equipment > requirements. (NOTE: this does not constitute formal registration; > it is > merely a means by which we can better plan the workshop). > > Submission Information: > > Send all expressions of interest, proposals, and questions, to the > Workshop Chair (with the subject line: SGDL Workshop), > > J.
