Report: Managing Research Data Hack Day
Friday, May 11th, 2012The Innovation Support Centre at UKOLN has announced publication of an event report on the recent DevCSI Managing Research Data Hack Day held in Manchester.
New Event: Hacking Bibliographic Data
Tuesday, May 1st, 2012DevCSI in co-operation with the Open Biblio Project, Open GLAM and OKFN is seeking expressions of interest from software developers, project managers, librarians and experts in the area of bibliographic data in respect of a free event being planned for 12 – 14 June 2012 in London.
The event will offer anyone with a particular interest in bibliographic data the opportunity to discuss the issues they see as relevant in this area, experiment in a focused way on prototyping systems and even hacking them together. It also intends to encourage people to explore current ways of doing things and consider how they might be improved. It is hoped the event will give participants the chance to form small groups to discuss bibliographic data issues, work on paper and/or real prototypes, datasets and APIs. The event will culminate in a series of presentations from the teams in terms of the work they have carried out.
If you are interested in this area, please email Mahendra Mahey at UKOLN and indicate if you would like to attend. Please let him know of the aspects of bibliographic data in which you are interested, since your responses will influence the planning of the event.
