Dear Colleagues (apologies for cross posting)
This is a free two day workshop (which includes free accommodation)
jointly organised by the Research Revealed and DevCSI projects, more
information about the event can be found here:
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/events/devcsi/linked_data_hackdays/
The event will bring together software developers, research information
managers, researchers, librarians and linked data experts who are
interested in hacking linked data, systems and services.
Tool developers and the users of research data tools rarely have
opportunities to experiment in a focussed way on hacking systems
together; this workshop will facilitate collaboration between technical
and non-technical people with the opportunity for rapid prototyping to
produce solutions to real, practical scenarios in the UK FE and HE sectors.
Events like these are sometimes called 'Hack Days' where we will be
encouraging participants to form teams to talk about where they see the
potential for linked data systems and approaches for the sharing of
content and the promotion of research information across the UK and
globally. We hope these teams will come up with some imaginative and
innovative ideas. The focus will be on practical solutions to scenarios
such as "how can my system automatically discover research
collaborators?" and tackling issues such as harvesting versus the
querying of SPARQL endpoints, or the requirements for data security in
the context of inter-institutional information sharing. The event will
culminate in a series of presentations from the teams about the work
they have carried out.
Research Revealed have kindly set up a wiki
(http://bit.ly/LoDWorkshopWiki) to facilitate collaborative team working
before, during and after the event. You will need to register before you
can get access to it.
