Hi All
Those of you heading to Open Repositories 2009 may be interested in
our SWORD Futures workshop. We're taking registrations for this now.
Info at https://or09.library.gatech.edu/workshops.php and below:
SWORD Futures
Please join us for the SWORD Futures workshop. We'll start the
workshop with a SWORD 'show and tell' session where developers and
repository managers will demonstrate what they have done with SWORD
and why, with some time for questions at the end. (1.5-2 hours)
This will be followed by a discussion session where we're intending to
split up into three parallel groups (1 hour):
1) Registering SWORD http headers - this group will look at
recommendations for registering new headers in line with best practice.
2) Passing deposit intentions with SWORD - this group will discuss
whether this a useful direction for SWORD, and what these intentions
may be?
3) Packaging - this will be a discussion and recommendations group
around how we can usefully standardise metadata and/or packaging
formats. We'll also look at including OAI-ORE.
The workshop will conclude with a feedback session (30 mins)
The workshop will be for 30-50 people.
We would also welcome suggestions for other topics to cover. Please
email us at [log in to unmask] to book a place on the workshop and let
us know if you have any ideas for subjects you'd like us to look at.
You can also twitter us at http://www.twitter.com/swordapp with your
suggestions.
Cheers
Adrian
