[CODE4LIB] Final week to book for "Making metadata work", ISKO-UK/BCS/DCMI joint event

[DCMI Announce]

Dear Colleagues,

*Making metadata work*
Monday 23rd June 2014 - BCS Office, 5 Southampton Street, London WC2E 7HA.

Please don't forget to book for this popular event before the deadline of
16 June. There are still places for the afternoon session, with an array of
first class speakers. See more  at <
http://www.iskouk.org/events/metadata_June_2014.htm#introduction>.

The  morning workshop and  tutorial are already full booked. We're sorry to
disappoint anyone who's missing them, but we hope to repeat the Sharepoint
tutorial on another date - possibly 15 Sept and/or 26 November. Do please
let us know if you are interested.

*Afternoon meeting on 23 June* (Plenary, 14.00 – 18.00)
Martin White: The importance of metadata for high quality Search
Sean Bechhofer: Wf4Ever: metadata for “Research Objects”
Mark Sandler: Semantic Media: a new paradigm for navigable content for the
21st century
Richard Ranft: Enhancing discovery of the British Library's audio
collections
Antoine Isaac: A portrait of Europeana as a Linked Open Data case (in
progress)
Andrew MacFarlane: Analysing creative image search queries to determine
important facets

The speakers and presentations are described in more detail on our website
at  . As usual
there will be more networking, wine and nibbles from 18.00.

*Morning options*
*a) Tutorial: Metadata management in Sharepoint* (10.00 -12.00)
While Sharepoint 2013 offers more metadata capabilities than ever before,
the range of options can make it hard to implement the most effective way.
Management of controlled vocabularies is a particular challenge. This
tutorial will enable you to pick the brains of an experienced consultant,
Marc Stephenson of Metataxis.
*b) Workshop: Vocabularies and the potential for linkage* (9.30 – 12.30;
now fully booked)
Various approaches to the linkage of value vocabularies (KOSs) and/or
element set vocabularies (metadata schemas) will be described by
Pierre-Yves Vandenbussche (Fujitsu, Ireland), Dan Brickley (Google), Gordon
Dunsire and Stella Dextre Clarke, with emphasis on the opportunities as
well as the barriers to widespread adoption. After that is a case study
from Johan De Smedt and Agis Papantoniou, both of TenForce, that draws on
more than one technique. The subsequent discussion will address the
prospects for take-up, aiming to help participants with application or
development of similar techniques and projects.

*Registration fee and booking*
Full day, including lunch and a choice of tutorial or workshop: £120 (or
£70 for members of ISKO, IRSG or DCMI and for full-time students);
Afternoon only: £60 (or £25 for members of ISKO, IRSG or DCMI and for
full-time students).
*Booking is open at*  <

[CODE4LIB] Job: Digital Humanities Postdoctoral Fellowship at McMaster University

[jobs]

Digital Humanities Postdoctoral Fellowship
McMaster University
Hamilton

The Lewis & Ruth Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship,
located in Mills Memorial Library at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario,
invites qualified candidates to apply for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship.

  
Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellowship

Posting Date: May 30, 2014

Application Deadline: June 30, 2014

Position Start Date: September 2, 2014

Position End Date: August 31, 2016

Supervisor: Dr. Sandra Lapointe

Remuneration: $45,000/year

This position is included within the Canadian Union of Public Employees
("CUPE") Local 3906 Unit 3, representing Post-Doctoral Fellows.

  
Background

  
The Sherman Centre increasingly engages in a wide range of activities that
support and build the McMaster digital humanities (DH) community. A critical
need that has become apparent in the course of this work is the inclusion of
DH skill instruction, methodology, and theory in the curriculum, both at the
undergraduate and graduate levels. From the vantage point of the Sherman
Centre, we see this as the beginning of a clear trend toward increased
interest in introducing students to text mining, data analytics, and GIS and,
in general, increasing their technical fluency and competency.

  
General scope

  
Working under the leadership of Professor Sandra Lapointe (Philosophy - also
Academic Director of the Sherman Centre) and Dale Askey (Administrative
Director of the Sherman Centre), the postdoctoral fellow will begin to address
substantively this emerging demand for DH integration into the curriculum. In
alignment with their own DH research agenda, the fellow will, in close
collaboration with other Sherman Centre staff:

  
assess faculty interests, needs, and goals with regard to DH curriculum

offer consulting to faculty and graduate students to enable them to begin to
include DH elements in their courses

create multimedia content-primarily video-that offers short and focused
introductions to basic concepts and skills

engage library staff in other functional areas to draw their expertise into
the DH space and connect them to faculty who need support

support the further development of the Sherman Centre makerspace

connect with other nascent digital humanities initiatives in the region.

Beyond these activities, the fellow will participate in the life and
activities of the Sherman Centre and represent it at key DH events such as the
Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) and the annual Digital Humanities
conference (at the institution's expense).

  
Qualifications

  
Candidates must be recent Ph.D. recipients in the humanities (degree date 2011
or later) with an established digital humanities research agenda. The Ph.D. is
the only eligible degree and must be in hand by September 1, 2014. The optimal
candidate will have a Ph.D. in a discipline represented amongst [McMaster's
graduate programs](http://www.humanities.mcmaster.ca/graduate/index.html),
although applications from any humanities discipline will be accepted.
Demonstrated skills in areas such as data visualization, coding, text
analysis, or GIS are highly desired. International scholars are invited to
apply, however preference will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent
residents.

  
How to apply

  
Please forward a CV, cover letter, names and contact information for three
references, and a sample/portfolio of DH project work to [Chris Nicol, HR
Coordinator](http://library.mcmaster.ca/contact/chris-nicol). Please contact
[Dale Askey](http://library.mcmaster.ca/contact/askey-dale) or [Sandra Lapoint
e](http://www.humanities.mcmaster.ca/~philos/people/profile_lapointe.php) if
you have general questions about the position.

  
McMaster University is strongly committed to employment equity within its
community, and to recruiting a diverse faculty and staff. The University
encourages applications from all qualified candidates, including women,
members of visible minorities, Aboriginal persons, members of sexual
minorities and persons with disabilities.

On a similar note, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Pigsonthewing has 
just (today / yesterday depending on timezone) been appointed Wikipedian 
in residence at ORCID. He has tons of experience in museums, galleries 
and archives and is a great person to get in touch with in this kind of 
area.
