[CODE4LIB] Job: Wine Loving Developer at University of California, Davis

2015-12-10 Thread jobs
Wine Loving Developer 
University of California, Davis
Davis, California

**WHO WE ARE**  
The University of California, Davis is one of the world's leading cross-
disciplinary research and teaching institutions. Its internationally renowned
program in viticulture and enology (wine!) is legendary for having educated
some of the most acclaimed winemakers in the world.(UC
Davis is within easy commuting distance of San Francisco, the East Bay, Marin,
and Sacramento. And, I mean, come on! Who else has a Meat Lab on their
campus!)

  
**WHAT**  
Help us build a tool/site to crowdsource the transcription of 4,000 historic
wine labels and visualize that data.

  
**WHERE**  
This is a short-term project (ie not a full-time job) so you can work wherever
your desk currently resides and at whatever point in the day works for you. We
would like to have the option to bring you out for a visit so that you can
meet the team and see the collection so there might be a tiny bit of
California travel required. And then, of course, communicate via Slack, Skype
or Google Hangout.

  
**PROJECT DETAILS**  
The UC Davis University Library is launching a project to digitize the
[Amerine wine label collection](https://www.flickr.com/photos/brantley/sets/72
157655817440104/with/21116552632/) and engage the public to transcribe the
information contained on the labels and associated
annotations. Currently, the only digitally accessible
information about these labels is a single entry in a library database -
making them in effect "hidden" from view. By digitizing
these labels and engaging the public to create a searchable database, anyone
will be able to walk in Dr. Amerine's shoes as he pioneered a path through
mid-century winemaking. By making this resource accessible
digitally to an international audience, the library will be able to help
researchers fill in gaps in their understanding of wine history--- historians,
sommeliers, oenologists -- even novelists looking for period details, or
graphic designers looking for inspiration.

  
The core of the project hinges on creating a tool that allows for the crowd
source transcription of structured data and then makes that data visible to
the end user. How we get there is up to us (and you!).
We're flexible as to the platform you want to use -- whether it's an existing
crowd-sourced transcription tool like SCRIBE or a Wordpress
site.

  
**WHO YOU ARE**  
You're a self-started, motivated and curious about the world. Maybe you need
one more standout portfolio project in order to be the front-runner for your
dream job or just looking for a little something to keep you busy in the
evening.

  
  
**FORMAL STUFF**  
The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer. (And we sell bacon; see first graph).

  
To apply, please send cover letter and resume to the contact email.

Digital Asset Management Consultant
Smithsonian Institution
Washington, D.C.

The Smithsonian's Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) is conducting
a search for a qualified contractor to conduct a detailed requirements
assessment and market analysis for a multi-format Smithsonian Digital Asset
Delivery Service to deliver images, audio, video, and pdf format files from
the Smithsonian Digital Asset Management System (DAMS) repository to external
distribution channels.

  
The DAMS is architected as the Smithsonian's digital vault and asset
repository and is only accessible internally behind the SI firewall by
Smithsonian staff. However, the Smithsonian units have unique and common
requirements to re-use, repurpose, and deliver the assets from the DAMS to
many external channels. The Smithsonian has already
developed an Image Delivery Service (IDS) to address the requirement of
delivering derivative images from the DAMS. The IDS has
proven to be a key element in the delivery of digital assets to Smithsonian
public facing websites including the Collections Search Center (CSC) at
http://collections.si.edu and SIRIS at http://siris.si.edu, and has opened up
the possibility of sharing digital assets across the Smithsonian. SI is
interested in developing capacity to deliver other types of assets stored in
the DAMS.

  
A key task is to evaluate and assess the existing DAMS and IDS asset delivery
functionality and infrastructure, identify the Units' other asset delivery
needs for other formats not supported by IDS, and prepare a
detailed asset delivery requirements document.

  
Qualifications range from experience with digital video, audio, and imaging
file formats, experience gathering system and user requirements, experience
writing systems analysis and requirements documents as well as additional
skills outlined in the SOW.

  
If interested, please send an email directly to Vicki Cataneo at
