Speaker: Dot Porter, Curator of Digital Research Services, Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center, University of Pennsylvania Libraries. Time: Tuesday February 27, 4-5 pm Location:University of Pennsylvania Van Pelt Library, 6th floor, Room 623.
Topic: Dot demonstrated up-close, very cool technologies being used to examine and digitize medieval and early modern manuscripts, as well as create machine-readable descriptive and technical metadata. Dot facilitated a group discussion on how libraries and archives can play a fundamental role in teaching digital humanities.
Jane Greenberg will be presenting her keynote, “Sharing Restricted Data: Challenges, Protocols and Implications for Digital Libraries” tomorrow, November 14th, at the joint 8th A-LIEP Conference/19th ICADL Conference,in Thailand.
Her presentation will examine the challenges associated with sharing restricted data between industry and academia, and consider the role of digital libraries in addressing current obstacles. She will highlight the work being pursed through “A Licensing Model and Ecosystem for Data Sharing” initiative, the NSF Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub (NEHDIH) Spoke data sharing initiative.
The Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub (NEBDIH) workshop, “Enabling Seamless Data Sharing in Industry and Academia” was held at Drexel University, September 29-30, 2016. Participants from industry, government, non-profits and other stakeholders gathered to identify challenges and opportunities, and shape discussion toward accelerated data sharing. The workshop was spearheaded by the NEBDIH’s Data Sharing Working Group and interconnected with the Northeast Spokes award, “A Licensing Model and Ecosystem for Data Sharing” (PI Madden, co-PIs Binnig, Greenberg, Kraska, Weitzner) goals, where researchers are developing a safe and secure data sharing platform that facilitates sharing data that may or may not be open or free between different organizations (industry, academia, government). The workshop was sponsored by Computing Community Consortium, with additional support provided by the Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub; the Metadata Research Center, College of Computing and Informatics, Drexel University; and the Gerri C. LeBow College of Business, Drexel University.
12:00 – 12:20 Introduction of everybody (Jane Greenberg)
12:30 – 1:45 Brainstorming Lunch (Session chair: Sam Madden)
Topic: What are the biggest challenges in sharing data and how can the Sharing Spoke help? Ideas include: Personal Identifiable Information (PII), Restriction of use, Access control, Training, Contribution, Result Sharing, Accountability, etc.
Goal: every group of 5 creates a ranked list of issues.
1:45 – 2:30 Result Presentation: Top Issues (5 min per group)
2:30 – 3:10 Infrastructure Challenges and Opportunities (Session chair: Jane Greenberg)
3:10 – 4:10 Breakout and Coffee: Requirement Gathering (Session: Tim Kraska)
Participants meet at different topic tables derived from topics identified at lunch.
Potential Topics: Personal Identifiable Information (PII), Restriction of use, Access control, Training, Contribution, Result Sharing, Accountability, etc.
Goal: A list of potential options for the data sharing license (e.g., what should the license cover? What is most important?). Each table creates a 5 min presentation per topic. Identify people who are willing to invest in a working group afterwards.
4:10 – 4:40 Presentation of Breakout Results (Session: Tim Kraska)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2016, 8:00 AM-2:30 PM
9:00 – 9:20 Introductions
