Finding your edge at the edges by Kristof De Wulf at TEDxGhent. The future ain’t what it used to be. In today’s world of acceleration, automation and accessibility, we are expected to be ’relieved’ from working, learning and owning. But if we take away the very things that provide us with a sense of accomplishment and purpose in life, what is left for us humans? The more human-like machines take over our functions, the more we are left with a feeling of emptiness, says Kristof De Wulf. In his talk, he shares his thoughts on how we can overcome this feeling by going to the edges of our normal brain functioning. Kristof is co-founder and CEO of InSites Consulting, currently the world’s 3rd most innovative marketing research agency. He has won several awards and is a proud member of Switch & Shift’s League of Extraordinary Thinkers.

Harvesting Repositories: DPLA, Europeana, & Other Case Studieseohallor
Join this discussion on the benefits and process of harvesting to aggregators such as DPLA, Europeana and other aggregators. Through case studies we'll outline three stages of the process, including 1) mapping, migrating, and normalizing data in open source digital repositories, 2) making use of the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI - PMH), and 3) reaping the benefits of increased exposure. Presenters welcome lively discussion and questions from participants of all technical backgrounds and skill levels.
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.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

Identification and contribution of resources for AVLIN:ASKIA
1. Identifying resources for ASKIA and modalities
for Member countries contributing virtual
resources to be included in ASKIA portal as a part
of the African Virtual Library and knowledge hub
Antonin Benoît DIOUF
3rd AVLIN Experts Group Meeting
4th African Internet Governance Forum (AfIGF)
6-8 September 2015, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
2. OUTLINE
• Concepts & Definitions
• Identifying resources for ASKIA
• Modalities for member countries contributing virtual
resources
3. Concepts & Definitions
ASKIA?: we must agree on what we are talking about
• Information?: from data which are raw content; data have no meaning or value themselves.
When data are grouped together (comparisons can be made), they become information
• Knowledge?: is information that is in context and therefore useful for action. Both Data &
Information are parts of Knowledge.
• Scientific Information?: journal articles, conference papers and datasets of various kinds
• Traditional Knowledge?: is it excluded?
verbal expressions (stories, epics, legends, folk tales, poetry, riddles, etc.),
musical expressions (folk songs and instrumental music),
expressions by action (dances, plays, ceremonies, rituals and other performances) and
tangible expressions that must be fixed on a permanent material (drawings, designs, paintings
(including body-paintings), carvings, sculptures, pottery, mosaics, jewelry, basket work, textiles,
carpets, costumes, musical instruments, etc.)
4. Type of resources
• Prints: books, serials
• Multimedia: optical materials
• Audiovisual documents: Magnetic
records (VHS, Audio tapes,…)
• Manuscripts
• Research Data
• Artefacts: museum objects
Online
&
Offline
5. Producers
• Universities
• Research centres and Institutes
• Government, Public Administration & Entreprises
• Regional and Sub-regional Organizations
• Private Companies & Industries
• …
6. Identifying Resources for ASKIA:
Universities & Research Institutes
This kind of Scientific Knowledge and Information (SKI)
should be the core of ASKIA Portal and be available via:
•their own catalogues, Institutionnal Repositories, Digital
Libraries and Archives (online & offline)
•aggregative catalogs and Digital Libraries and Archives at a
national level: Library consortia, national documentation
centres, National Libraries
•aggregative catalogs and Digital Libraries at international
level: sub-regional projects, regional projects,
7. Identifying Resources for ASKIA:
Universities & Research Institutes
(Academic World)
To identify academic resources
that will sustain the portal, we
have two potential starting
points.
8. Identifying Resources for ASKIA:
Universities & Research Institutes
Africa in OpenDOAR
• 128 repositories for
• 22 countries
Rank 5
9. Identifying Resources for ASKIA:
Universities & Research
Institutes
Africa in OpenROAR and Celestial
• 101 repositories
Repository type chart
Software
Countries
10. Identifying Resources for ASKIA:
Government & Public administration
• Legal information:
legislation from
parliament, international &
foreign agreements
• Data & statistics: Open
data (national portals)
• Administrative
documentation: official
reports, Development
Plans & Visions
11. • Patents related to industrial property: African Intellectual
Property Organization (OAPI), African Regional
Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO)
• Annual reports
• Statistical Data
Identifying Resources for ASKIA:
Companies
12. Some Initiatives that can (must)
be taken in consideration
• Système d’information scientifique et technique (SIST) and its national bodies (12): e.g., Senegal
http://www.sist.sn
• African Digital library support Network (ADLSN) http://adlsn.org
• Virtual Library of the West African Economic and Monetary Union: 8 French speaking countries (ongoing
process)
• SOHA Project: Open Science in Haiti and Africa: http://www.projetsoha.org/ . Upcoming DICAMES
(Institutional Repository of CAMES)
• ALORA project (CERDOTOLA, Cameroon): https://alora.cerdotola.com/
• Network of National Libraries, Archives and Museums of Central Africa (Launch workshop planned for 15-
17 September 2015 in Douala Cameroon)
• National & Academic Digital libraries…
…The IDEA: mapping of all these programs and projects
13. Modalities for Member countries
can be considered as ASKIA guidelines for contributors
Scope
• The Portal aggregates records for published African scientific knowledge & information in all formats. Documents must be in the
public domain or offered under terms of use intended to promote research and scholarship. The participation to ASKIA should
be endorsed by a national authority of the country (e.g., Ministry of Higher Education & Scientific Research) based on a MOU
proposed by ASKIA. The national authority should act as a focal point for ASKIA and coordinate locally the contribution to ASKIA
in concordance with local mandates & policies related to Open access to the national scientific resources
Structure
• Contributed records must be in a compliant metadata format such as: MARC, MARCXML, MODS, or Dublin Core format. They
must be elaborated with functionalities that can help a future mapping with other repositories within the portal. This will be
helpful for a future integration of ASKIA within the Open Linked Data map and Semantic Web.
Linked
texts
• Records should include, as well as possible one or more fully-formed hyperlinks to a high-quality, fully digitized content freely
available (e.g. not password-protected or IP-dependent), and downloadable through the contributor's website. Ideally, a full-text
search should be possible.
Methods
of delivery
• Acceptable means of transmitting contributions include, but are not limited to, e-mail attachment, File Transfer Protocol (FTP),
Open Archives Initiative (OAI) harvest using PMH Protocol.
14. Modalities for Member countries
An inspirating
Model?
6 countries in Africa - 18 mandates & policies
Ideally, countries
should already
have their own
mandates &
policies related to
Open Acces to
information and
knowldege
