** Apologies for cross-posting ** The next meeting of the Fedora UK&I User Group will be jointly held with the Fedora EU Group on 8th December. The meeting will take place at the SERS Offices in Osney Mead - see http://www.sers.ox.ac.uk/contacts/map for details. Coffee will be at 9:30am, with the meeting proper starting at 10:00am. To register, please use the Doodle link at http://www.doodle.com/9awg6y5cmkpf8a62. We look forward to seeing you in Oxford. The day is split into two halves, as follows: 1. Fedora-based e-Research Environments: the Scholars Workbench 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). This community recognises that repositories can offer much to support scholars across disciplines, and also across repository platforms. The morning will also thus receive input from EPrints and DSpace developments to inform the broader landscape. Speakers during the morning are: * Chris Awre, University of Hull - The Hydra initiative: underpinning repository interaction for research support * Matthias Razum, FIZ Karlsruhe - eSciDoc-based Virtual Research Environments * James Toon, National Library of Scotland - tbc * Mark Hedges, Centre for eResearch, King's College London - Fedora for scientific data repositories * Les Carr, University of Southampton - Institutional Research Data Management - a 10 year blueprint * Stewart MacDonald, University of Edinburgh - tbc * Andrew Treloar, Australian National Data Services (ANDS) - Metadata for Re-Use: the Australian National Data Service and the role of Institutional Repositories * Andreas Hense, Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences - Fedora-based Portal for Geo-tagged Audio Comments with a Mobile Client 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. Proposed talks during the afternoon to inform discussion include: * Thornton Staples - Fedora Commons and Duraspace Update * Richard Green - Content models in the Hydra Project * Lina Krantz/Uwe Klosa - Integration of Fedora's Messaging into DiVA * Frank Schwichtenberg - eSciDoc Content Models using CMA and ECM * Gert Schmeltz Pedersen - Fedora Content Modeling at DTU Library * Asger Blekinge-Rasmussen / Kåre Fiedler Christiansen - Content Model Driven Software Regards, Chris ******************** Chris Awre Head of Information Management Academic Services University of Hull Hull HU6 7RX T. 01482 465441 M. 07545 422674 E.
