Dear all,
Find attached an advert from colleagues at the Performing Arts Data
Service. I'm forwarding this to archaeology lists because the programme
includes an ADS contribution which will be relevant to many on these
lists too, so don't be fooled by the apparent performing arts focus.
Please contact Iain Wallace for more information (details below).
All best wishes,
William

The Bluffer's Guide to Metadata
An AHDS Workshop, organised by the
Performing Arts Data Service
Glasgow: Wednesday 25th June 2003
http://appserver.pads.arts.gla.ac.uk/PadsStatic/workshops/
Invitation
The Performing Arts Data Service (PADS) is holding a one-day workshop at
the University of Glasgow, on Wednesday 25th June. The workshop will
address the documentation of digital resources, with particular focus on
the needs of Arts and Humanities researchers and data creators in the HE
sector.
Documentation is becoming increasingly important in the digital world,
not just to aid resource discovery, but also to ensure the long term
viability of digital materials in a constantly changing environment.
This workshop will cover the use of different kinds of metadata, and why
such documentation is so important for the successful completion of any
digitisation project. Special emphasis will be given to the lessons that
can be learned from interdisciplinary research, and the challenges
involved in recording information about temporal events.
Who should come?
This event will be of interest to all researchers involved in the
creation, dissemination and use of high quality digital research
resources in the Arts and Humanities. The workshop will be of special
interest to those who are preparing an application for one of the
funding schemes organised by the Arts and Humanities Research Board or
the Joint Information Systems Committee.
How much does it cost?
£30 per person. A buffet lunch and refreshments will be provided.
