Dear MCG'ers,
(this is a separate event from the 'Roadmap for Preservation' project
which Gordon emailed about earlier)
Further to the recent discussion about 'COPE
<http://www.collectionslink.org.uk/discover/sustaining-digital/1766-cope
> ', CIDOC CRM and museum informatics in general, I am pleased to
announce that bookings are now open for a one-day Museum Informatics
Event, which will take place on the 4th June at the National Railway
Museum in York, being organised jointly between the Collections Trust
and the Museums Computer Group.
You can register for the event via Collections Link at:
http://www.collectionslink.org.uk/events/museum-informatics-event
Attendance at the meeting is free, but please be aware that the
Collections Trust is unable to pay for people's travel and accommodation
(we'll pay for the sandwiches and fizzy pop!). Places are strictly
limited (to 30 in total), so please do book asap and do let us know if
you subsequently think you won't be able to make it.
In terms of the agenda, we wanted to open this up to the MCG community
to decide. Mia and I have discussed the following items for inclusion,
but we would really welcome your thoughts, comments and suggestions on
what we need to cover (bearing in mind that we have one day, and
possibly the previous evening in the pub!). Please either share your
views on the following on-list or drop me a line off-list if you're more
comfortable with that.
* Create Once, Publish Everywhere
* Museum data standards and the CIDOC CRM
* Integrated Knowledge & Information Management
* Semantics, documentation and linked data
* Metadata & interoperability
* Museum Information Systems
* Terminology and taxonomy
Many thanks to the National Railway Museum for offering to host and to
Richard Light for making it happen!
Looking forward to an interesting discussion!
Nick
