Dear all,
*Deadline extension*
The program committee is looking to create a diverse GLAM conference that
truly serves the global community. To achieve this goal, we would like to
accept submissions not only from established GLAM projects and communities,
but also from emerging communities / developing countries / groups just
starting out their GLAM endeavors.
Looking at the submissions so far
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:GLAM_TLV_2018_open_submissions>,
we have decided to extend the content submission
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAMTLV2018/Program> deadline *till next
Monday, May 7th, at midnight *(wherever you are in the world). We are
hoping this extension will encourage more submission from developing
countries, emerging community and allow for a more diverse program.
*Tips*
In the past week I've been asked repeatedly if I have tips for good
submissions. The best tip I can offer is -- no matter if your GLAM
partnership / project is well established or you are just starting out,
make sure your submissions offers an added value beyond "this is what we
did in our project", i.e. focus on what you leaned and how it could be of
use by others in the GLAM community.
GLAM on,
Shani.

Dear all,
I'm happy to report that the content submission process
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAMTLV2018/Program/Submit> for the
GLAMWiki Conference 2018 is now open! Submissions will be accepted *till
April 30th*, so feel free to start drafting your proposals.
Please note that submissions for scholarships
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM_TLV_2018/Scholarships> will open
tomorrow via a different process and the actual registration will take
place later on in June. We'll notify you every step of the way. :)
Looking forward to reading your submissions,
Shani (on behalf of the organizing team and the program committee).
Hello all!
Hope this email finds you well. We are sending this message to select
community mailing lists and all previous recipients of a Wikimedia
Foundation Rapid Grant.
We have an announcement regarding the closure of the Rapid Grants [1]
program between May 14 - June 30, 2018. This year we've received a lot of
interest in the program and this quarter we've almost doubled the amount of
grants offered to the community compared to last year's quarter. You can
look at our spending analysis
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Resources/Grants_spending_analysis>
[2] for
reference. Unfortunately, this means we've expended our funds for this
fiscal year. The last date we will be receiving an application for a rapid
grant before the closure will be *Friday, May 11, 2018*.
We encourage *Wiki Loves Earth* participants to apply for a Rapid Grant by
May 11, 2018 to receive support for their project.
The grant program will be open again to receive grant requests starting *July
1, 2018*. At this point we will be implementing the following changes:
1. There will be a minimum of *$500 USD* for grant requests
2. Applications will only be accepted between the *1st - 15th of each month*.
This is to help with our current workflow and to allow us to be more
responsive to your requests.
If you have any questions, please email us at rapidgrants(a)wikimedia.org.
Best regards,
Woubzena

We are pleased to announce that Red de Leon (User:Alternativity) has
been hired by the Bantayog ng mga Bayani[1][2] (“Monument to Heroes”),
a Philippine foundation that maintains a museum and library dedicated
to the heroes and victims of the Ferdinand Marcos dictatorship, as its
first Wikipedian in Residence. As far as we know, this is also the
first ever Residence project in East and Southeast Asia. The project
will last for three months from April to June 2018.
As a Wikipedian in Residence, Red will be working with a small team to
help the digitize portions of Bantayog's library as well as to improve
coverage of topics related to the Marcos regime in Wikipedia and its
sister projects. He will also serve as a liaison between Bantayog and
the Wikimedia community by organizing events and workshops, and plan
to help the Filipino Wikimedia community grow by sharing his skills as
a Wikipedian to Bantayog’s constituency of museum visitors, library
researchers, and supporters.
If you are interested, you can check out the project page[3] on the
Outreach Wiki where more information about the project and its output
will be posted.

------------------------------
SPECIAL TRACK on METADATA & SEMANTICS for CULTURAL COLLECTIONS &
APPLICATIONS
Part of the 12th International Conference on Metadata and Semantics
Research (MTSR 2018),
October 23 – 2018, Limassol, Cyprus.
Submission deadline: June 15th, 2018
Proceedings will be published in Springer CCIS series
AIM AND SCOPE
Cultural Heritage collections are essential knowledge infrastructures
that provide a solid
representation of the historical background of human communities.
These knowledge infrastructures are constructed from and integrate
cultural information derived from diverse memory institutions, mainly
libraries, archives and museums. Each individual community has spent a
lot of effort in order to develop, support and promote its own
systems, tools and metadata for the management of cultural
information, mainly related to its particular resources and use.
In this framework, the management of the cultural information has to
deal with challenges related
to (i) metadata modeling, specification, standardization, extraction,
(semantic) enrichment,
mapping, integration, effective use, and evaluation, (ii) knowledge
representation as
conceptualization to provide the context for unambiguously
interpreting metadata, and
(iii) information integration from different contexts for the
provision of integrated access,
reuse and advanced services to users.
At the same time, there are also inter-domain efforts targeted to
semantically align data (research
data, educational data, public sector information etc.) to cultural
information. New challenges
are also emerged from the need to incorporate cultural information
into the new publication paradigms, where a variety of resources
(data, metadata, processes, results, etc) are linked and integrated,
providing better shareability and reusability. Currently, Linked
(Open) Data, as part of the Semantic Web Technology, is having a major
role in modernizing cultural heritage collections. Providing to users
the possibility to re-use and integrate data into their own systems is
currently more than a need, given that transparency and access to
information is a prerequisite. A critical factor to the effectiveness
of many aspects of all the above efforts is the quality of metadata,
as interpreted by its context and use and evaluated by the proper
measures and methods. Many institutions and aggregate infrastructures
are dealing with the poor quality of metadata that inevitably results
in poor integration, search and reuse, while their enrichment, in
terms of contextualization, co-referencing, alignment, etc, is really
challenging.
The aim of this Special Track is to maintain a dialogue where
researchers and practitioners working on all the aspects of the
cultural information will come together and exchange ideas about open
issues at all stages of the cultural heritage information life cycle.
The track also welcomes works related to semantics and applications
for new approaches to cultural information publication and sharing, as
well as to interlinking to other datasets published in the Semantic
Web universe.
TOPICS
The papers in this special track should be original and of high
quality, addressing issues in areas
such as:
* Cultural Heritage metadata models, standards, ontologies, knowledge
organization and representation systems
* Cultural Heritage information integration, interoperability and mappings
* Automated extraction of metadata, entities, and patterns from
Cultural Heritage resources
* Metadata manual or automated (Semantic) enrichment and search
* Metadata quality metrics, tools and services
* Linked Open Data approaches in the Cultural Heritage domain
* Publication, linking and citation of Cultural Heritage information
and resources
* Large volume content management
* 3D models-indexing, storage and retrieval approaches
* Infrastructures for sharing content
* Digital Curation workflows and models
* Provenance and preservation metadata for Cultural Heritage digital
resources
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Authors can submit either full papers (12 pages) or short papers (6
pages). Submitted papers have to follow the LNCS proceedings
formatting style and guidelines.
The submitted papers will undergo the same peer review as the
submissions for MTSR 2018 and accepted contributions will be published
in the MTSR 2018 proceedings (Springer CCIS series). Authors of
accepted papers will be asked to register to the Conference and
present their work.
Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit extended and
revised versions of their papers
for possible publication in selected international journals, including
the International Journal of
Metadata, Semantics and Ontologies (Inderscience), and Program (Emerald).
More information on submission can be found at the MTSR 2018 call for
papers web page (http://www.mtsr-conf.org/index.php/call-for-papers).
