The Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG), also known as the Taxonomic Databases Working Group, is a non-profit scientific and educational association that is affiliated with the International Union of Biological Sciences. TDWG was formed to establish international collaboration among biological database projects and related services. Promoting the wider and more effective dissemination of information about the World's heritage of biological organisms for the benefit of the world at large, TDWG focuses on the development of standards for the exchange of biological/biodiversity data. TDWG promotes the use of standards through the most appropriate and effective means and acts as a forum for discussion through holding meetings and through publications, especially the recently launched open access journal, Biodiversity Information Standards and Science. This presentation will focus on areas of possible collaboration by the larger networked information community around bioinformatic standards, areas where TDWG collaborates with other biodiversity organizations such as the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL), and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).
Wikis, Rubrics and Views: An Integrated Approach to Improving DocumentationTed Habermann
For many years scientists and data managers have focused on creating metadata that supports the discovery of available data. This is important, but once data sets are discovered, users need metadata that supports use and understanding of those data. This talk describes a system developed to support the required metadata improvements using wikis, rubrics, and metadata views. The wikis provide a mechanism for the community to record experiences and lessons learned and provide high-quality examples. Rubrics provide a mechanism for consistent and clear quantitative evaluation of the completeness of metadata records. The results displays include integrated links to the wiki. Views provide views with connections to the wiki and on-going interactive learning. These tools can be used with metadata from any standard and can facilitate translation of the metadata between multiple standards.
Are you considering digitizing your paper-based assets? If yes, check this presentation which discusses PDF/A. It also talks about the challenges of digitizing and preserving paper-based documents.
The webinar will discuss the concept for designing of TAPipedia, an information sharing platform currently being developed as part of the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP), with members of the TAP CD Expert Group and Chairs of the TAP Global Task Force & TAP Steering Committee. TAPipedia is expected to help TAP members and other stakeholders address a number of challenges relevant for a more coherent delivery of Capacity Development (CD) for Agricultural Innovation System (AIS). TAPipedia will assist TAP members to present, explain and communicate the Framework on CD for AIS, so that it may be more easily tested, improved, adopted and implemented by stakeholders. TAPipedia will also allow stakeholders at different levels to share their own applied and context specific CD for AIS resources and to discover such knowledge from different partners and regions.

The Canadian Linked Data Initiative: Charting a Path to a Linked Data FutureNASIG
As libraries prepare to shift away from MARC to a linked data framework, new convergences in the metadata production activities of our libraries' technical services units, special collections, and digital libraries are becoming possible. In September 2015, the Canadian Linked Data Initiative (CLDI) was formed to leverage the existing collaboration between the Technical Services departments of Canada’s top 5 research libraries and the Library and Archives of Canada. Working cooperatively, our objective is to provide a path to linked data readiness for our institutions and leadership for the adoption of linked data by libraries across Canada. To achieve this goal, partner libraries are working across departments and institutions to create new workflows and tools and adapt to a new conceptual understanding of descriptive metadata. This presentation is a preliminary report on the progress made in five key areas of interest: digital collections, education and training, MARC record enhancement, evaluation of linked data tools and vendor supplied metadata. Building on existing initiatives, the CLDI is investigating the potential of integrating linked data elements into digitized collections, as well as MARC-based bibliographic and authority records, with the aim of fostering new and interesting pathways for resource discovery. To strengthen and expand the professional knowledge of staff, partner institutions are collaborating in the production of educational and training materials related to linked data principles and practices. The evaluation and potential development of linked data tools is another area of concentration. Finally, with the goal of changing workflows upstream, the CLDI is working to engage publishers and vendors in the linked data conversation. In addition to reporting on the work undertaken in the first year of the project, this presentation will also cover lessons learned and outline some of the new opportunities gained from working on a collaborative project that spans across multiple boundaries.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

open source solutions Fedora was selected as
the underlying architecture
– Flexibility with great promise for the future
– Commitment to preservation principles
– Fez was the initial front end (later changed
to Islandora)
8. ADR Background (cont.)
• Launched project with $445,000 of self-
granted local funds
– 18 month launch window
– Funding supported hardware platform &
staffing
– Local sites would do their own digitization
– Staff placed at consortium offices in Denver
– Ongoing costs to be split among
participants after 18 month self-funded
launch
9. Key Launch Issues
• Selecting the platform after review
• Developing policies, guidelines and procedures

Repository (ADR) is to provide services
for the preservation of and access to
digital assets inherent to the research,
information, and education missions of
the Alliance member institutions.”
19. ADR Vision Statement
“The vision of the ADR is to serve as a
standards-based repository and
infrastructure supporting a diverse set
of applications, services, and discovery
tools that offer long-term management,
secure storage, preservation solutions,
and - when possible - open access to
digital assets of enduring value, as
determined by the Alliance institutions.”
20. Governance & Structure
Alliance Board
ADR Directors
ADR Member ADR Services
Committee Staff
Working Groups/
Subcommittees
22. Content Identification Policy
The ADR supports the ability to make
persistent reference to materials deposited
Materials form an important part of the
scholarly dialogue and record
Each digital object has two unique identifiers
within the ADR: a PID and a Handle
Handles and PIDs are never reused and
remain unique to the object
23. Metadata Policy
The ADR will use MODS as a normalizing
metadata schema
All objects in the ADR will have, either
included or created at the point of ingest, a
MODS metadata data stream
The ADR staff will support the creation,
inclusion, and mapping of other standards-
based schemas (MARC, VRA, DC, etc.)
28. 2012
• Islandora site launches
• DuraCloud production use
• Continuing feature development with DGI
• Hardware update
• Policy review
29. Post-Migration Policy Review
Remove specifics that only applied to
original repository model
Check new platform against policies
How does it fulfill the policies?
Does it create any new policy
requirements?
