Video of Dan Cohen’s Keynote at December 2010 CNI Meeting Available

January 13, 2011

The video of Professor Dan Cohen’s wonderful closing session “The Ivory Tower and the Open Web” is now available on both Youtube (at http://www.youtube.com/cnivideo ) and Vimeo (at http://vimeo.com/channels/cni ).

You can also find a copy of his presentation at http://www.cni.org/tfms/2010b.fall/cni_ivory_cohen.pdf

This is an extremely wide-ranging presentation that I think will be of interest to almost everybody in the CNI community; I know that a number of people who saw the talk live told me that it was so rich, and thought provoking in so many different ways, that they were eager to have a chance to watch it again. Many others were eager to share it with colleagues and students.

A must-see.

January 5, 2011

Happy New Year.

We’ve now collected substantially all of the presentation materials from the fall CNI meeting and linked them to the presentation listing on the CNI web site.

We are starting to roll out the videos from selected sessions. My opening plenary talk is now available both on Vimeo

http://vimeo.com/channels/cni

and on YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/cnivideo

and you can find the new 2010-2011 Program Plan that I discuss on the CNI web site as well. We’ll be making a series of additional videos available over the next few weeks.

As noted in an earlier announcement by Diane Goldenberg-Hart, podcast interviews with participants from the meeting are also now available; also the December CNI conversations recording includes a summary of the meeting.

Assessing Cyberinfrastructure Impact

December 6, 2010

Assessing Cyberinfrastructure Impact

 

Sally Jackson
Chief Information Officer
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

Campus cyberinfrastructure is mostly unplanned, driven by faculty interest and success in attracting grant funding for specific projects. Cyberinfrastructure impact analysis is a methodical procedure for anticipating how any project will affect the rest of the complicated research ecosystem. One way to implement this form of analysis is through use of a rubric that guides an analyst in identifying and evaluating a project’s effects on the campus. This presentation will focus on the rationale for cyberinfrastructure impact analysis and some possible tools for conducting efficient analysis of research proposals.

Digital Forensics and Cultural Heritage

December 6, 2010

Matthew Kirschenbaum
Associate Professor
University of Maryland

Rachel Donahue
Doctoral Candidate
University of Maryland

This presentation will include a summary of findings from the report Digital Forensics and Born-Digital Content in Cultural Heritage Collections, published by the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) in November 2010, as well as from an associated symposium conducted at the University of Maryland in May 2010. This symposium and report, the first to bring together archivists and other cultural heritage specialists with professionals from the legal, law enforcement, and defense communities, is intended as an introduction to the growing convergence between forensic tools and procedures and the requirements of institutions acquiring and maintaining born-digital materials. Topics to be covered include theoretical models, forensics and archival workflows, examples of tools and technologies, data recovery, and the ethics of forensic analysis.

NSF Data Management Plan Requirements: Institutional Initiatives

December 5, 2010

Serge J. Goldstein
Associate CIO & Director of Academic Services
Princeton University

Scott Brandt
Associate Dean for Research
Purdue University

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has issued guidelines for inclusion of data management plans as a part of grant proposals, and many institutions are beginning to examine strategies for meeting these requirements. Units within organizations are also exploring ways to support those needs. This session will examine some of the strategies already being considered or implemented, and representatives from Princeton and Purdue will discuss their campus’s programs.

Video: Web 2.0 and the Study of History from Spring 2010 CNI meeting available

July 27, 2010

The last video from the Spring 2010 CNI meeting is now available; I’ve held off announcing it for a little while because it’s quite special, and I did not want it to be missed in the flood of other announcements.

This presentation describes a wonderful project at the University of Oregon which helps students to understand the uses of primary source materials, and also to think about their own roles as creators of such materials, and as prospective contributors to the collective social record. Technology comes into play, of course, but is very much in the background in some sense. It seems to me that the ideas here can be readily adapted and used by a wide range of institutions. If you are not familiar with this project, the video of this presentation is worth watching.

Here are the details:

VIVO Networking Conference, August 12-13, New York City

July 26, 2010

Over the past few years, we’ve had several presentations at CNI covering a system called VIVO, which originated at Cornell and was designed to help researchers find other researchers with similar or related interests. More recently, with funding from the National Institutes of Health, it has established a national footprint. You can find video of their presentation at the Spring 2010 CNI meeting at
http://www.youtube.com/cnivideo#p/u/3/gRnGAuMMPnk
or

Next month, the VIVO consortium is holding its first meeting. I have included the call for participation below.

National VIVO Conference:

Enabling National Networking of Scientists

August 12-13, 2010

New York Hall of Science

The first annual National VIVO Conference, Enabling National Networking of Scientists, will bring together scientists, developers, publishers, funding agencies, research officers, students and those supporting the development of team science. This two day conference will begin with workshops and tutorials for those new to VIVO, those implementing VIVO at their institutions, and those wishing to develop applications using VIVO. Invited speakers will present regarding the Semantic Web, Linked Open Data and the role of VIVO in support of team science. Panelists will discuss adoption and implementation findings. Feedback sessions will engage participants in requirements gathering and brainstorming regarding future network services. Presenters will discuss mapping, social networking, crowd sourcing, support for societies and other national network applications. Learn more at http://vivoweb.org/conference.

VIVO is an open source, open ontology, research discovery platform for hosting information about scientists, their interests, activities, and accomplishments. VIVO supports open development and integration of science through simple, standard semantic web technologies. Learn more at http://vivoweb.org.
