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.net
).
To minimize travel, particularly for international participants, the meeting is set to coincide with:
- UK All Hands Meeting, Dec 7-9, Oxford - http://www.allhands.org.uk/
- IEEE e-Science, Dec 9-11, Oxford - http://www.oerc.ox.ac.uk/ieee
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 Environments
The Fedora community is progressing from having numerous initial experiments with Fedora, to a number of more stable implementations. Moreover, repository-based environments are increasingly being embedded in the research life-cycle and integrated with research-specific tools. This session will share existing experiences of repository-aware tools for scholarship and research, as well as of 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.
