Vote soon if you have not yet voted! http://bit.ly/rdap12topicvote Best, -Mike, on behalf of the RDAP12 planning committee From michael at psu.edu Wed Aug 10 14:50:21 2011 From: michael at psu.edu (Michael J. Giarlo) Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2011 14:50:21 -0400 Subject: [Rdap] Suggest an RDAP12 demonstration session Message-ID: <4E42D2ED.1080604@psu.edu> Folks, The RDAP12 planning team is working on fleshing out the panels we all recently voted on. One of the top vote-getters was demonstration sessions, and we'd like to devote the latter half of day 2 to demos -- we did this at RDAP10 but not RDAP11. Would you like to see anything in particular demonstrated? Make a suggestion and we'll do our best to accommodate it. Just email me back, either on-list or off-. We hope to release this month a draft program with panel topics slotted in, after which panel moderators will be identifying panelists. The six panels that will be on the RDAP12 program are: 1. NSF DMPs and Data Management Policies 2. Discovery 3. Training 4. Linking data to literature 5. Sustainability 6. Curation service models Best, -Mike From jqin at syr.edu Wed Aug 10 16:32:24 2011 From: jqin at syr.edu (Jian Qin) Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2011 16:32:24 -0400 Subject: [Rdap] Fwd: Faculty Searches - Syracuse University School of Information Studies References: <75822E125BCB994F8446858C4B19F0D71750B1BBFD@SUEX07-MBX-04.ad.syr.edu> Message-ID: <366E614C-EC80-495F-B9AB-EE7FE82094CB@syr.edu> This announcement has been posted to multiple mailing lists. Please excuse the duplication. Begin forwarded message: From: Milton L Mueller > Date: August 10, 2011 4:27:53 PM EDT To: "ISTFAC at LISTSERV.SYR.EDU" > Subject: Faculty Searches - Syracuse University School of Information Studies Reply-To: Milton L Mueller > Faculty Searches Syracuse University's School of Information Studies (The iSchool) is soliciting applications to join its renowned and interdisciplinary faculty. The iSchool will be hiring for multiple positions and welcomes applications from emerging and established scholars. Located at the center of the picturesque Syracuse University campus in a recently custom-renovated building, we seek entrepreneurial colleagues with a passion for innovative scholarship, a desire to work with others on interdisciplinary projects and enthusiasm for teaching. With an enrollment of 70 doctoral students, 550 masters students and 450 undergraduates, led by 42 full-time faculty and over 100 part-time faculty, the iSchool pursues excellence in both research and teaching. It hosts seven research centers and laboratories with recognized strengths in virtual collaboration, natural language processing and information retrieval, Internet governance and telecommunications policy, digital literacy, information management, digital libraries, information and network security, online survey research and others. More broadly, Syracuse University is committed to Scholarship in Action. There are campus-level initiatives on aging-in-place, Internet governance, sustainability, urban education, as well as strategic partnerships with J.P. Morgan Chase, IBM and others that are reflected in a focus on Global Enterprise Technologies. We seek scholars whose research activities complement and extend those of current faculty members. The iSchool has designated the following three areas for expanding our research capabilities: 1) e-Science / Data science, 2) Entrepreneurship and 3) Social Media. E-Science is a broad category that includes technology-supported scientific collaboration, development of digital collections (e.g., digital humanities), access and retrieval tools, and computational social science involving large-scale quantitative data and data analysis skills. Entrepreneurship involves the study or practice of innovation in markets and firms, and the analysis of practices that encourage or discourage the generation of commercially valuable new ideas in information and communication systems. For us, Social Media studies is a broad field that includes the analysis and study of online social networks, innovative uses of technology and the combinations of social network analysis techniques with other methods to provide new insights into the social, economic and political impact of networked digital technologies and the new forms of organization and interaction formed around them. The ability to obtain research grants and other external funding sources will be considered a competitive advantage in our evaluations, as will evidence of teaching experience and a strong commitment to teaching excellence. While rank and years of experience for these positions are open, a completed Ph.D. in a relevant field of study is required. This noted, we will also consider outstanding ABDs with a strong expectation of successfully defending their theses by August 2012. Applicants must submit a cover letter outlining their interests (including the rank they are seeking); a curriculum vitae; a statement describing research and teaching interests and accomplishments; and the names and contact information of at least three references to: . We are interested to learn of the candidate's experiences with innovative teaching approaches, online course delivery, and mastery of technology-oriented course topics core to our several programs. Strong candidates will be contacted and asked to provide research samples and a teaching portfolio or other evidence of teaching experience. Please do not submit these items with the initial application. We will begin screening applicants on 1 November, 2011 and continue accepting applications until the positions are filled. Given the nature and number of our needs, we expect the search to continue through Spring, 2012.

This year we would be willing to demonstrate the latest component of this open source framework and its deployment in the next generation Planetary Data System. Title: "An Open Source Registry for Research Data Repositories" The registry is based on a standard registry reference model and is designed to manage objects defined by the domain experts. It performs object identification, versioning, tracking, subscription/notification, indexing, classification, and object association, i.e. the basic functionality of most research data repositories. The registry is configured for a specific domain using an ontology or information model created by domain experts. We would also demonstrate how this framework could be configured for use within other RDAP community domains.
