*** Apologies for any cross-posting ***
The Open Repositories 2009 Conference, to be held in Atlanta next week,
will see the launch of a Fedora Commons Solutions Community around the
idea of a "Scholars Workbench". If you will be attending the conference
please come along to the inaugural BOF session which will be advertised
there. (Amongst other things we shall be canvassing views on that most
important of issues: where best to put the apostrophe?!? Should it be
"Scholars' or Scholar's"?)
The Community will gather existing information on how scholars use and
generate information, and how they manage it, capturing experience that
can be shared. It will specifically examine how digital repositories can
support the management of information in the support of all aspects of
scholarship. Repositories could be the core systems used, or they could
underpin the use of other systems through integration with
research-specific tools. How can the tools used for scholarship and
research be repository-aware, and vice versa?
If you can't join us there (and even if you can!) bookmark the
Community's new presence on the Fedora Commons wiki at:
https://fedora-commons.org/confluence/display/FCCWG/Scholars+Workbench
and help us start to build up this Community knowledge resource.
