It will take a good bit of work to get ACM, IEEE, and ASIST to work out a funding model so the timing may be right. Whoever sponsors OR (CNI etc.) will also have to work out logistics. The JCDL steering committee leaders are Rick Furuta, Ed Fox, and Edie Rasmussen.

Open Repositories and RDAP seem to be geared primarily towards the practitioner side of the practice-research spectrum, whereas my impression of JCDL and its peers are more towards the research side. If OR and RDAP become less about practice than theory, then I can see practitioners losing interest -- and they need events to share best practices, tools, and tips. Additionally, both OR and JCDL seem like rather long meetings when you factor in pre-conferences and post-conferences. I wouldn't want them to be any longer, and I rather like that RDAP is as short as it is. I see a real need for conferences like OR and RDAP for those of us who have boots on the ground, and I do hope they remain separate. If RDAP is to be merged into JCDL, I would hope that the relationship would be similar to RDAP's relationship with IA Summit, which is to say that one can attend RDAP without needing to drop extra dollars on a longer, less relevant conference (for some of us). My two cents. -Mike On 06/15/2011 03:05 PM, William L Anderson wrote: > Gary et al., I just attended OR2011, but am unable to be at JCDL this > year.

Perhaps, if we were to join forces with JCDL or another conference, we could try to organize it as a pre-conference workshop, so we'd have a day or two to discuss the 'practical' side of things, but those people who were interested in the academic/research side could still hit both. I mean, as much as research is nice, I'm more interested in being able to implement systems, rather than spend a few months/years studying the problem and trying to come up with an abstract solution. I've actually had to keep from laughing at some conferences when people are presenting as 'new' studies stuff that people in the trenches could've told 'em years ago. -Joe From michael at psu.edu Tue Jun 21 15:59:47 2011 From: michael at psu.edu (Michael J.

The only downside I can dream up is that if RDAP is but one of many pre-conferences, there's a lot going on that might keep potential RDAPpers away from our event. We ran into that at Open Repositories when we ran a CURATEcamp pre-conference -- which of course few if any of the Hydra and Duraspace folks could attend since their sessions were at the same time. -Mike From mdawnweaver at gmail.com Thu Jun 23 13:50:24 2011 From: mdawnweaver at gmail.com (Misty Melissa Weaver) Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2011 10:50:24 -0700 Subject: [Rdap] [Rdap-planning] Keynote selection time In-Reply-To: <4E03741C.6020804@psu.edu> References: <4DDFC93E.1070508@psu.edu> <4DE01099.8030304@psu.edu> <4DE8FC6E.5050800@psu.edu> <4DFF5283.40900@psu.edu> <29E39FEB-7524-4ADA-BD36-999085ABE2A9@annoying.org> <4E03741C.6020804@psu.edu> Message-ID: I've added a Panel suggestion to the Themes & Format Google Document, starting with the Lesk & Chen Panel.

Next up is selection of a keynote address. There are three choices for RDAP12: * Robert S. Chen * Chris Barnes * NO KEYNOTE If you vote for no keynote, the time that would have been allotted will be given to an extra panel. We have two drafts of the program format, one w/ keynote and one w/o, so we have planned for both scenarios. Biographical information about each of the keynotes follows, as well as the link to the poll. Let's aim to wrap up voting by close of business on Friday, July 1st. * Robert S. Chen is the director of CIESIN and a senior research scientist. He served as CIESIN?s deputy director from July 1998 to April 2006 and as CIESIN?s interim director from May 2006 to January 2007. Dr. Chen is also the manager and co-principal investigator of the Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC), a data center in the NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information System. He is currently secretary-general of the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) of the International Council for Science (ICSU) and a member of the new ICSU ad hoc Strategic Coordinating Committee on Information and Data (SCCID). ... As secretary-general of CODATA, Dr. Chen has co-led efforts to develop implementation guidelines for the data sharing principles for the Global Earth Observing System of Systems (GEOSS), and is currently a member of the Data Sharing Task Force of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO). With support from ICSU, he is helping to lead a CODATA initiative to develop a Polar Information Commons aimed at promoting stewardship of polar science data and information. He contributed to CODATA?s activities at the second World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), including co-authoring of an editorial in Science with former CODATA president Shuichi Iwata of the University of Tokyo. * Chris Barnes is Director of NEPTUNE Canada (2001-), the large Canadian ocean megaproject that will help transform the ocean sciences.

For those not familiar with AGU, there's a 100% conference acceptance rate, as anything not selected for an oral session is given a poster slot. (And oral sessions are allocated by how many abstracts are submitted for a given topic). Now, normally, there's a one-abstract per person limit, but there's an exception for both the education & public affairs, and so besides of the "Architectural Components for Science Data Repositories and Archives" mentioned below, I'm also a convener of "ED22: Distributing Science Data for Re-Use", . Submit abstracts at the same place below, but the session description is at: http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/scientific-program/session-search/241 Feel free to pass this along to any other folks you think might be interested. -Joe Begin forwarded message: > From: "Hughes, John S (3880)" > Date: June 28, 2011 12:17:23 PM EDT > To: Todd King , Joe Hourcle , Joe Hourcle > Subject: AGU Fall Meeting - December 5-9, 2011 > > Hi Joe and Todd, > > Can you distribute the following on your respective colleague email lists, for example, SPASE and RDAP? > > Many thanks, > Steve > > =============== > > Dear colleagues, > > We are convening a session titled "IN04: Architectural Components for Science Data Repositories and Archives" at the Fall 2011 AGU, to be held in San Francisco during December 5-9. The abstract below provides the scope of the papers in this session: > > "Research and development across the space science communities have resulted in a wealth of information system architectural components for building data repositories and archives. These include registries, search and access protocols, search strategies, domain ontologies, data dictionaries, glossaries, and architectural standards. Many of these components are open source and in some cases supported by a community of developers. This session invites papers that describe both emerging and mature architectural components, their integration, and how they are being used to meet the expectations of modern scientists for science data discovery, access and use." > > Please consider submitting an abstract to this session. Please note that the submission site is open now at http://agu-fm11.abstractcentral.com/. > > The deadline for submission is 4 August 23:59 EDT, much earlier than in previous years. > > Our apologies if you get this note more than once due to use of multiple mailing lists. > > Regards, > Conveners: > Daniel J.
