CURATEcamp

Born-Digital Workflows CURATECamp
Peter Chan (Stanford University), Don Mennerich (New York University), and Julia Kim (New York University) are planning a CURATECamp around sharing and discussing born-digital workflows.

Brooklyn Historical Society (128 Pierrepont Street, Brooklyn) will host the day-long event on Thursday, April 23rd to bookend NYU's co-hosting of Personal Digital Archiving 2015 on April 24- 26th.

This CURATECamp will differ from the usual curate format. The morning session will consist of scheduled 15 minute presentations on born-digital workflows. After a “birds-of-a-feather” lunch break, the afternoon will breakout, CURATE-style, into several streams to discuss the morning’s presentation (this will be subject to change).

This event is supported by the National Digital Stewardship Residency in New York program, funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and implemented by the Metropolitan New York Library Council in partnership with Brooklyn Historical Society. CURATEcamp is also affiliated with this year's Personal Digital Archiving conference, which will take place April 24–26 at New York University.

On behalf of the CURATECamp organizers-Thanks!

DISCUSSION: #curatecamp on Twitter and #curatecamp on irc.freenode.netnew nike air max 2019

The theme of this CURATEcamp will be bridging the gulf between the Computer Science dominated world of digital libraries research and the LIS dominated world of digital libraries practice. We hope to foster communication between these oft- times disparate groups. Afterall, collaboration and awareness leads to great ideas, right?

This open forum allows for discussions with a diverse group of professionals in a setting in which topics develop organically throughout the day. Visit http://curatecamp.org/pages/how-it-works for more information.

One of the core goals of CURATEcamp is that everyone engages in peer-to-peer learning, collaboration, and creativity to broaden the digital curation community.

Most of all, you’ll be in a position to propose topics, ask questions, get answers, and make connections with your peers in a welcoming environment.  There are no spectators at CURATEcamp...only participants!

"Alongside this year’s Digital Preservation 2013 meeting, I am excited to announce that we will also be playing host to a CURATEcamp unconference focused on exploring the idea of exhibition. For those unfamiliar with unconferences, the key idea is that the participants define the agenda and that there are no spectators, everyone who comes should plan on actively participating in and helping to lead discussions. Everybody who participates should come ready to work."

DUE TO LOW SIGNUP, THE CAMP HAS BEEN CANCELED

Registration for iPRES and signup for iPREShack is now open. An event page is here:

http://wiki.opf-labs.org/display/SPR/iPREShack+-+SPRUCE%2C+OPF+and+CURATEcamp+hackathon+at+iPRES2013

The event

iPREShack is a digital preservation hackathon that will take place during iPRES2013. Attendees will work together to address preservation challenges, and enhance our preservation tools. As well as advancing our ability to perform digital preservation it will be an opportunity for attendees to work with the best technical experts in the field, to advance their understanding of digital preservation, to develop their coding skills and to exchange knowledge and experience in a friendly and collaborative environment.

SPRUCE, OPF and CURATEcamp have been running a variety of digital preservation themed events over the last few years, and bring a wealth of experience to the facilitation of iPREShack. We'll be working hard to put that experience into practice and deliver a productive, and most importantly fun, iPRES hackathon.

But don't take our word for it. We solicit feedback from our attendees using an anonymous online form at the end of each of our events. Here's what attendees said about our last hackathon, held in Leeds, UK in March 2013:

• "(Liked) Developing practical solutions for concete problems; ability to meet up with other developers/practitioners with similar issues;opportunity to exchange knowledge, views and opinions."
• "(Liked) Collaboration between different institutions, all working together to solve issues that were viewed as important to address."
• "(Liked) The communication among people who had worked on different tools. I met lots of people I'd known only over the Internet."
• "As someone who is relatively new to digital preservation in general it gave me a good overview of the different tools available, their strengths and weaknesses and how best to use them."

And these were the responses when we asked if we should run a similar hackathon event on an annual basis:
"Definitely", "Yes", "Absolutely", "Yes, maybe even on quarterly or half-year basis. I believe such events (if focused) are really good to start doing new features, fix existing bugs and more. Also they act as a motivator and keep projects/tools alive.", "Yes", "Yes! Yes! and Yes again!", "YES! At least on an annual basis", "Yes, perhaps even more frequently", "Yes", "Yes!", "PRETTY PLEASE!", "Yes, if not more often", "Yes", "Yes (or more frequently)", "Yes, if not more often".

There will be a CURATEcamp at DLF again this year!

Last year we had a theme designed to bring together Coders and Catalogers and it was a lot of fun.  This year we haven't picked a theme, so we may go with an open discussion.  If you feel strongly about a theme, or want to help run the camp, please let us know in the comments or mail declan at declan dot net.  Thanks!

There's a new CURATEcamp in the works! From:

http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2012/06/curatecamp-processing-p...

Alongside this year’s NDSA/NDIIPP conference, DigitalPreservation 2012, we are excited to try out another kind of meeting, an unconference. In conjunction with DigitalPreservation 2012 we are going to play host to a CurateCamp. For those unfamiliar with unconferences, the key idea is that the participants define the agenda and that there are no spectators, everyone who comes should plan on actively participating in and helping to lead discussions. Everybody who participates should come ready to work.

We are focusing this camp on the idea of processing, bringing together the computational sense of the word with the archival sense of it. We are particularly excited about bringing together archivists and curators with software developers and engineers to do some creative thinking and tinkering. You can read up on the topic below. We will be opening up registration for the camp, and posting information about where exactly in the DC metro area we will be hosting the event, but we wanted to make sure those interested could put it on their calendars now. The camp will be the last day of DigitalPreservation 2012, July 26th and it is being facilitated by myself and Leslie Johnston from the Library of Congress and Meg Phillips, Electronic Records Lifecycle Coordinator at the National Archives and Records Administration and Mark Matienzo, Digital Archivist at Yale University.

If you are interested in participating, or just have ideas for things you would love to see campers engage with, take a minute to post a comment about an idea you have for a session in the comments of this post. Consider posing some questions you would like the group to think about tackling in some of the sessions.

Processing Data/Processing Collections

Processing means different things to an archivist and a software developer. To the former, processing is about taking custody of collections, preserving context, and providing arrangement, description, and accessibility. Processing, in its analog archival sense, also includes a lot of preservation, (stabilization, preliminary conservation assessment, and the dreaded “re-housing”). To the latter, processing is about computer processing and has to do with how one automates a range of tasks through computation. When a cultural heritage organization’s work is organized around processing digital objects, these two notions of processing intermingle. This CurateCamp unconference is intended to put these two notions of processing together in whatever ways can be imagined by the curators, archivists, librarians, scholars, software developers, computer engineers, and others that attend.

Potential topics and considerations could include:

Automated inventorying and file characterization
Computational determination of hierarchical arrangement
Format validation & migrations
Automated metadata extraction
Potential roles for entity extraction in subject cataloging
Dynamically generated description
Malware scanning
Pattern & fuzzy searching for PII, SSNs, etc
Automated access restrictions
Generating visualizations and using them as access tools
Human computation’s potential role in cultural heritage collections
Machine learning and digital collections
Using name authority linked data
Processes for geo-refferencing
Potential uses of facial recognition tools for identifying individuals in collection imagesnew nike air max 2019

EDIT 9/5/12

It's a wrap!  We exchanged ideas, shared best practices, and took notes at the first CURATEcamp to be held at the Society of American Archivists annual meeting. This was a successful event where archivists and technologists came together for a day-long discussion of data curation and digital archives.
