Joint meeting of Fedora UK&I and Fedora-EU User Groups, 8 December 2009, Oxford, UK

After the successful Fedora-EU meeting at Aarhus in September last year, we invite you to join us this year in Oxford, on December 8, 2009. Numerous people were calling for this event, and we are particularly grateful for the support of Fedora-UK&I, the local team in Oxford, and the DReSNet eScience Network (http://www.dresnet.netImage Removed).

To minimize travel, particularly for international participants, the meeting is set to coincide with:

Please register for the meeting at: http://www.doodle.com/9awg6y5cmkpf8a62

The meeting will be structured in two half-day sessions:1. Fedora -based e-Research EnvironmentsThe Fedora community is progressing from having numerous one of lots of initial experiments with Fedora, to one with a number of more stable implementations. Moreover, Also repository-based environments are increasingly being embedded embedding in the whole research life-cycle and integrated integrate with research-specific tools. This session will share existing experiences of on repository-aware tools for scholarship and research, as well as of (vice versa) repository-based research environments.

This session will be moderated by the 'Scholars Workbench Solution Community' (http://www.fedora-commons.org/confluence/display/FCCWG/Scholars+Workbench)

2. Fedora Content Modelling

This session dives into the foundations of Fedora content modelling, addressing issues such as definition and use of ontologies, cooperation of repository objects and the triplestore, service definition and deployment, best practice and software tools, as well as looking at the roadmap for development of Content Modelling in upcoming Fedora versions.

This session will be moderated by the Danish Fedora group.

Who Should Attend?

The meeting is intended for people already acquainted with using Fedora. Please share your current activities: demo your research environments and tools, share your research on content models, or simply contribute your ideas and concerns. If you do want to present something, please forward brief statements of intent or abstracts.

Points of Contact

We are looking forward to seeing you in Oxford !The half-day will comprise a series of short presentations from those working in the field of supporting researchers using repositories, reporting both work undertaken and directions that are emerging based on local experience. Contribution is coming primarily from the Fedora community, but there will also be input from DSpace and EPrints perspectives to highlight the common need to understand how repository-based environments can best support research.
