Dear all
I am looking for setting up
1) a small group of universities, research and other special libraries or information and
documentation centres willing to test principles, concepts, applicability and efficiency of a new
taxonomy, for indexing purposes.
2) A control group of single participants including consultants, freelance, vendors and project
managers generally interested in knowledge organisation.
The taxonomy, Turning The Tide or 3T, is related to cybercrime and cyber security from an
interdisciplinary perspective but its innovative structure makes the experiment relevant for any
library interested in new developments for knowledge organisation of digital collections and open
data.
To register your interest send your personal details, details of your organisation and description of
expected benefits / reason why / motivation to join the 3T group by Monday 30 June 2014.
In order to have plenty of time to prepare for the test and familiarise with some aspects of the
terminology at your own pace the collaborative platform will be available both for group 1 and group
2 during the Autumn 2014.
The actual exercise:
- will took place in three months period in 2015 (provisionally January - March 2015) using remote
access to shared resources 24/7;
- will require participants to fill surveys and index / tag electronic resources (mostly articles and
papers available through open access repositories and free databases but specific collections
arrangements might be agreed in the meantime with the collaboration of single institutions);
- will provide participants with exceptional practical insight and learning opportunities about
retrievability of digital collections and open data.
All welcome!
Kind regards
Brunella Longo
