| Abstract: | Teaching the library and information community how to remix information : Yee articulates a framework that he is using to teach LIS students how to remix information with XML and web services. Because information remix comes across as a grab bag of techniques, students need a framework for learning a particular example of remix in depth so they can understand remixing in a broader context. In his talk, he reflects on using Flickr as a paradigmatic example in elucidating remix to LIS students. -- Chasing Babel : "Two Paths to Interoperable Metadata [1] proposed a model for metadata translation that offers substantial gains over models based on the current community standard, which usually involves an XSLT implementation. In this presentation, Smith discusses implementation issues with the Semantic Equivalence Expression Language (Seel), their alternative to XSLT [2]. He shows how Seel eases the complex task of change management because it represents a more faithful computational model of the metadata translation problem. --The Case for Code4Lib 501c(3) : Libraries face tremendous challenges to create effective and responsive institutions in a Googlezon world. But the type of leadership that is needed so far hasn't materialized. If it isn't going to come from the administrators, let it come from the coders. In this talk Tennant will build a case for establishing Code4Lib as a nonprofit library software cooperative. A financial structure would allow code4lib to put real resource's both financial and human into bringing libraries into the 21st century. |
