Pelagios Visualisation talk with Olivia Vane
by Gethin Rees 06 Sep '22

06 Sep '22

Dear Friends and Colleagues, *Pelagios Network **Visualisation **Activity’s annual open talk with Olivia Vane, 28 September 2022, 5pm BST (online through Zoom)* This year we are excited that Olivia Vane will speak to us about her work on data visualisation for *The Economist* <https://www.economist.com/>. Examples of the beautiful visualisations of geographical and temporal data that Olivia has created working in cultural heritage, humanities research and now journalism can be found here <https://oliviavane.co.uk/projects>. The talk follows those in previous years delivered by Elijah Meeks and Johanna Drucker. Olivia joined *The Economist*’s Data Journalism team in 2021 after a number of years writing software in the Digital Humanities. She previously did a PhD visualising digitised museum collections and later was a member of the Living with Machines <https://livingwithmachines.ac.uk/> research project at The British Library and The Alan Turing Institute. This talk is a behind-the-scenes look at making data visualisations at *The Economist *— projects ranging across election data, popular culture, and politics and economics. Olivia will shed light on how these projects move from prototypes to the final published version, and contrast making data visualisations in journalism with her time in research. Don't miss it! 1. Sign up using the form at https://bit.ly/OliviaVane-SignUp 2. Put the date in your diary (you can use one of the links below) and await joining instructions.

MTSR 2022 - deadline extension - SPECIAL TRACK on METADATA & SEMANTICS for CULTURAL COLLECTIONS & APPLICATIONS
by Sofia Zapounidou 02 Sep '22

02 Sep '22

Call for Papers, apologies for cross-posting DEADLINE EXTENSION!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPECIAL TRACK on METADATA & SEMANTICS for CULTURAL COLLECTIONS & APPLICATIONS Part of the 16th International Conference on Metadata and Semantic Research (MTSR 2022), November 7th - 11th 2022, London, UK Paper Submission Deadline: 28th August, 2022 http://www.ionio.gr/labs/dbis/mtsr2022/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ =========================================== NEW Submission deadline: SEPTEMBER 12, 2022 =========================================== Proceedings will be published in Springer CCIS series. CCIS is abstracted/indexed in Scopus, SCImago, EI-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews, DBLP, Google Scholar. CCIS volumes are also submitted for the inclusion in ISI Proceedings. ** 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. Submissions should be original and not previously submitted, published and under review to other Conferences or Journals.The submitted papers will undergo the same peer review as the submissions for MTSR 2022 and accepted contributions will be published in the MTSR 2022 proceedings (Springer CCIS series). Authors of accepted papers will be asked to register to the Conference and present their work. Selected papers might be considered for a revised and extended version to be published in a range of international journals, including the International Journal of Metadata, Semantics and Ontologies (Inderscience), and Data Technologies and Applications (previously published as Program, Emerald). More information on submission can be found at the MTSR 2022 call for papers web page. IMPORTANT DATES September 12th, 2022: NEW Submission deadline! September 30th, 2022: Notification of decision (Acceptance/Rejection) October 16th, 2022: Camera-ready papers due November 7th - 11th 2022, MTSR Conference will take place at the University College London, London, UK SPECIAL TRACK CHAIRS * Michalis Sfakakis, Dept.

Program information: The CC Certificate for GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) is a professional development training for institutions or community groups engaged in cultural heritage. As more GLAMs adapt to increasingly online audiences and users, they often seek Creative Commons legal tools, expertise and community support. Cultural heritage institutions share a common goal with Creative Commons: to make knowledge and culture globally accessible. In the CC Certificate for GLAM, community members will develop capacity in opening access to cultural heritage. They will develop a deeper understanding of open licensing and copyright considerations with digitization projects, Rights Statements, Traditional Knowledge Labels, working with the public domain, and more. CC Certificate for GLAM participants will also gain access to a global community of professionals and activists working toward similar cultural and policy changes in their own cultural heritage institutions. Best, Jennryn Jennryn Wetzler Director of Learning and Training Creative Commons <https://creativecommons.org/> CC licenses are celebrating 20 years of sharing creativity and knowledge. Show your gratitude by supporting our 20th Anniversary Campaign. <https://www.classy.org/give/313412/#!/donation/checkout?c_src=website&c_src…>
