22th of october 2015: LIBIS Seminar on the Duraark project and its research data





Seminar:
Michelle Lindlar from the European project DURAARK will present the projects best practice research results on the structuring of architectural 3D data to facilitate the interpretation and interoperability with similar data resources and its curation and long-term preservation for research.
The presentation relates to: standards for architectural 3D data, long-term preservation of research data, and data interoperability. During this session LIBIS and the Digital Lab of KU Leuven will also present their services for researchers. This seminar is offered by LIBIS.  The language of this seminar is English.

Abstract: 
While the majority of data associated with a building is created during the design-to-construction phase, this data is later queried and extended by building owners and facility managers while the building is "in-use". Furthermore, even past the actual lifecycle of a building its data may remain of interest to research and cultural heritage. With the present day planning-to-construction process being a predominantly digital one, long-term availability and interpretability of architectural 3D data requires robust curation and preservation processes. The DURAARK project (2013-2016) is currently developing methods and tools to support this need. Michelle Lindlar is a digital preservation analyst at TIB – the German National Library of Science and Technology. Her main research interest is the alignment of technical and organizational processes and methods for the long-term usability and interpretability of technical information with a focus on complex objects. Within the DURAARK project she leads the Digital Preservation work package.  The emphasis will be on practical applicability.

Workshop on innovation policies for Cultural Heritage Institutions [Budapest, 10 July 2015]

The European project CIVIC EPISTEMOLOGIES is organising a second workshop on Citizen Science in Budapest, 10th of July. KU Leuven was host to the first workshop that presented a first draft of the 'Roadmap for broadening e-Infrastructure deployment to support citizen researchers in digital culture'.

Using the valuable input received during and after the Leuven workshop, a second version of the Roadmap has just been released. This will be the basis for the discussion that we will continue to carry out with our community, both online and in the occasion of the new Workshop in Budapest on 10 July 2015.

You can download and provide input on the Roadmap on the website: http://www.civic-epistemologies.eu/outcomes/roadmap/ 

During the Budapest Workshop both project represenatives and external experts are invited to present interesting cases on Citizen science projects, infrastructure and policy. Roxanne Wyns from LIBIS, KU Leuven will present as keynote some successful examples of citizen science projects.

Europeana Space technical workshop [23th of March 2015, Brussels]

The Europeana Space project, in which KU Leuven and LIBIS are a partner, is establishing a Technical Space as a framework for storing, accessing and processing cultural heritage content and metadata. Based upon IPR licensing, curators, scholars, professional users and developers will be able to search for and manage resources within a safe space, to use and re-use them for the evolution of knowledge and the development of applications.

In this technical workshop the architecture and implementation choices for the Technical Space will be presented, specifically:
  • The Data Infrastructure that includes the retrieval and storage layers for content and metadata from available sources.
  • The Metadata Processing Unit that integrates available services for the management and manipulation of metadata resources.
  • The Access APIs that constitute a set of interfaces that will be made available for the delivery of resources and the creation of applications.
The workshop will allow participants to learn more and experiment with the Europeana Labs, presented and coordinated by Europeana Foundation representatives.

AGENDA – 23rd March 2015, Public session

CIVIC Epistemologies - Workshop on the Roadmap [20 februari 2015, KU Leuven]

Op 20 februari organiseert LIBIS in samenwerking met het MediaLab Institute for Cultural Studies en de National Archives of Sweden een workshop in het kader van het Europese project CIVIC Epistemologies.

Dit project heeft onder andere als taak een Roadmap voor te bereiden voor de ontwikkeling van een e-infrastructuur die samenwerking tussen onderzoekers en burgers naar een hoger niveau kan brengen.

Het project gaat verder dan crowdsourcing en verkiest de term citizen researchers waar burgers een bijdrage leveren aan onderzoek op basis van hun domeinkennis en interesses.

Met de workshop willen we de eerste bevindingen voorstellen aan externe experten en belanghebbenden uit de culturele sector, beleidsmakers, onderzoekers etc.
