Hello all, I would like to invite you to the next Metadata and Digital
Repository SIG meeting:
Date: Wed 13 July
Location: HE Academy Engineering Subject Centre, Loughborough University
(http://www.engsc.ac.uk/us/contact/howtofindus.asp)(*See below)
There'll be standards and specification updates and discussion as
relevant, but I'm hoping that we will get lots of projects wanting to
demo and showcase what they have done. The following aren't all fully
confirmed, but we are likely to hear about:
- A regional repository for the West Midlands
(http://www2.worc.ac.uk/wm-share/).
- The Becta metadata creation utility (the curriculum online tagging tool).
- The Middleware for Distributed Cognition software for resource
discovery and resource list creation.
I'm putting together the programme this week, so if you have a project
you would like to talk about, please get in touch. I'll keep the latest
news on the programme as it develops available at
http://metadata.cetis.ac.uk/sig_meetings/
To register to attend, please email me, letting me know your name and
affiliation.
I look forward to seeing you in Loughborough.
Phil
Getting to Loughborough Uni:
Some Scottish followers of this SIG might like to know that flights to
Nottingham East Midlands Airport have improved since we last had
meetings there. There are cheap flights from Edinburgh (EasyJet and BMI
Baby) and Glasgow (BMI Baby). There are Eastern Airways flights from
Aberdeen, but I'm not sure about the cost of these. BMI Baby also fly
from Belfast Int.
The web page covers other options, but *car drivers* should note that
there are building works near to the venue that are taking up parking
space, you should allow time to hunt for a space followed by a pleasant
walk across campus.)
