The workshop will bring together developers and non-technical practitioners to explore the issues around image-based metadata. Starting with a programme of lightning talks where participants can share experiences, explain problems and pitch ideas, the day will focus on providing participants with practical solutions to image metadata problems. The workshop offers a unique opportunity for participants from a technical and non-technical background to work together to find ways to improve the delivery of services dealing with images. The event requires no previous experience, just an interest in metadata and images and a willingness to explore working together. 2011-02-15T10:00:00Z 2011-02-15T17:00:00Z DevCSI Challenge DevCSI Challenge DevCSI Challenge - Take all our video, twiter, blog, hash tag (#devcsi, #dev8d, #jiscri) content and create a spectacular navigable / browsable showcase / dynamically updated visualization of our content! 2011-02-16T09:40:00Z 2011-02-16T09:41:00Z Elsevier SciVerse Elsevier SciVerse 2 minute summary of Elsevier SciVerse Challenge.

What makes Dexy so Sexy for creating beautiful code documentation? Maybe the reason programmers don't write enough documentation is that the tools are awful. Wikis and blogging tools are great when you are using them for the type of writing they are intended for, but for documentation where you need to mix programming languages with the natural kind, they really aren't suitable. As a result, documenting code is usually a frustrating process that doesn't have the fun of writing code nor the satisfaction of writing prose. With Dexy, the integration of code and prose happens seamlessly and painlessly, so you can hack example scripts together and then write explanations using your favourite tools for each task and without ever losing your sense of flow. Dexy's literate approach means that it's easy to maintain your documentation over time, and its powerful and customizable filter system gives you tremendous control over how you present your code. Dexy also makes it easy to re-use your examples, for productivity as well as consistency across multiple types of documentation. Dexy works beautifully with version control systems and your favourite command line tools, and is a great, unobtrusive addition to any documentation or computational research workflow. . 2011-02-16T14:00:00Z 2011-02-16T14:15:00Z LUCERO: Linked data at the Open University LUCERO: Linked data at the Open University The Lucero project at the OU is producing open linked data.

The Archives Hub is an aggregation of archival metadata from repositories across the UK; Copac provides access to the merged library catalogues of libraries throughout the UK, including all national libraries. In each case the aim is to provide Linked Data according to the principles set out by Tim Berners-Lee, so that we make our data interconnected with other data and contribute to the growth of the Semantic Web. The talk will touch on data modelling, the selection of vocabularies and the design of URI patterns. It will look at the practical realities of how we are turning the Archives Hub EAD data and Copac MODS data into RDF XML, and then loading it into triple stores. The talk will conclude with a look at some of the main opportunities and barriers to the creation and use of Linked Data.

Events like these are sometimes called 'Hack Days'. We will be encouraging developers to talk about the systems and resources they have created and how they can be discovered, disaggregated, presented, remixed and tracked. We hope these teams will come up with some imaginative and innovative ideas. The event will culminate in a series of presentations from the teams about the work they have carried out. 2011-02-17T15:45:00Z 2011-02-17T16:00:00Z SPARQL 1.1 SPARQL 1.1 SPARQL 1.1 -- storing and querying webby data TNG.

It is designed to be a general-purpose language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is a compiled language - it compiles directly to JVM bytecode, yet remains completely dynamic. Every feature supported by Clojure is supported at runtime. Clojure provides easy access to the Java frameworks, with optional type hints and type inference, to ensure that calls to Java can avoid reflection. Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. When mutable state is needed, Clojure offers a software transactional memory system and reactive Agent system that ensure clean, correct, multithreaded designs. See what I did last year http://www.learningclojure.com/2010/01/clojure-dojo-method-of-heron-of.html 2011-02-16T14:00:00Z 2011-02-16T16:00:00Z Scala (1415-1615) Scala Scala is a general purpose, practical, object-oriented/functional-hybrid programming language that runs on the JVM. It's type-safe and has a performance profile very similar to Java, but has the expressiveness of dynamic languages like Ruby and Python. Some Java users are treating it as a "power Java", some are using it as a scalable back-end for other applications (Twitter), some are using it as a half-way house between Java and Python/Ruby. In the workshop, we will look at some of the features of the language, learn the syntax and start using it to build something in a Coding Dojo. To participate, it is strongly recommended that you download a recent version of the Scala compiler/runtime - 2.7 or 2.8 branch (the version installed by apt-get on Ubuntu or Debian Sid/Squeeze is fine). Familiarity with Java is useful; I've included code sample comparisons to Java, C#, Python and Ruby. For the Coding Dojo, we will be using SciTE on a Linux machine. 2011-02-17T14:15:00Z 2011-02-17T16:15:00Z Blackboard (1000-1200) Getting your Educational Tools into the Hands of Faculty and Students The institutional VLE is the most used web-based system on campus, just behind webmail. If your institution uses Blackboard’s VLE, learn how easy it is to get started with developing Blackboard plugins called “Building Blocks.” This session will walk you through how to build your first Blackboard plugin in under 10 minutes and move on to more advanced topics including how to use open standards to connect your existing teaching and learning tools (no matter which language they are written in) to the institutional VLE with minimal effort. This workshop spans over the lunch break between 12.30 - 13.30 2011-02-16T10:00:00Z 2011-02-16T12:00:00Z SciVerse Challenge (1200-1500) - (Lunch 1300-1400) OpenSocial Gadgets for Scientific Search – “Apps for Science” Challenge This workshop will introduce OpenSocial for Science and you learn to create an app for scientific search.

With over 900 million users the OpenSocial platform is by far the biggest alternative to the Facebook platform for Social Networks. The next web not only uses social networks as its building blocks but also is based on pluggable apps like you download apps on your mobile phone to customize your personal needs. Developers build gadgets or apps using HTML5 and JavaScript. Apps access full-text articles, abstracts and citations and scientific web search results, and mashup with open APIs and open data from the web. SciVerse consists of ScienceDirect, Scopus and Hub and offers access to 10 million scientific articles, 40 million abstracts and 15 million researchers. SciVerse is the leading OpenSocial platform for scientific search and discovery. 2011-02-16T12:00:00Z 2011-02-16T15:00:00Z Molly1 (1500-1700) Molly1 Installing and configuring a mobile web application with Molly 2011-02-16T15:00:00Z 2011-02-16T17:00:00Z PreservationTools (1600-1800) Preservation Tools Introduction to Digital Preservation & Long term access CHALLENGE Innovation ISSUES - Storage - Long term access - Rendering - Formats and obsolescence SOLUTIONS - Migration - Emulation R&D PLANETS DIGITAL PRESERVATION - Plato Planning - Testbed - Planets Core Registry OPF, a community of practitioners and developers for long terms access solutions and practices WORKSHOP 1.

The session is aimed at developers with little prior experience of working with RDF, to help them to get quickly up-and-running with an RDF query service, and will involve hands-on installation of an RDF triple store and query engine on your own laptop, then submitting a few simple SPARQL queries using command line scripts. The software used will e Fuseki (from the Jena project) and Curl. To get the most out of this, have the following software installed on your laptop: * Java 1.6 - http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp * Curl - http://curl.haxx.se/download.html * Mercurial - http://mercurial.selenic.com/ - this will be used to pull sample data and queries from a Google Code repository. If time permits, I'll spend a little time on techniques for using SPARQL queries to do simple inference, and optimizing SPARQL query performance. Please note, this session is intended to be hands-on HOWTO, not a general introduction to RDF. The aim is to provide a few simple tools that can be used experimentally to support and reinforce "book learning" about RDF. 2011-02-17T12:00:00Z 2011-02-17T15:00:00Z Image Understanding For Computers (1500-1700) Getting the computer to understand images We take for granted that we can understand the world around us using our senses. But we have to use special techniques to allow computers to understand things like images in a useful way. OpenCV is a library of these techniques where most of the hard work is done for you - you just need to understand why you would use them. This workshop will take you through the basics of using OpenCV, and use the python bindings to take you through some examples of image capture, analysis, tracking and comparison to recognise items in images and to show simple face detection. Find me at least an hour before the session if you want help installing OpenCV with the python bindings. 2011-02-17T15:00:00Z 2011-02-17T17:00:00Z SWORD 1.3 - 2.0 (1000-1200) SWORD 1.3 - 2.0: how to prototype your client in CURL, and how to build one in Python.

Learning to love writing documentation, and making code a thing of beauty by using Dexy and other tools The goal of this workshop is to get you up and running with Dexy. After this workshop you will be ready to start trying Dexy on your own projects, or as a tool for exploring/contributing to other open source projects. This is a hands-on workshop so you will need to bring a laptop running Mac or Linux, with Python 2.6 or 2.7 installed, and Dexy installed as per the instructions on http://dexy.it/install (make sure you install the 'common' extras). Dexy does run on Windows but this is relatively untested and many of the filters do not work, so if you are on a Windows laptop then please install a Linux virtual machine and install Python and Dexy on that. Please install the garlicsim and garlicsim_lib Python packages: easy_install garlicsim easy_install garlicsim_lib Please also install R http://r-project.org, and then within R run install.packages("rjson") 2011-02-17T12:00:00Z 2011-02-17T14:15:00Z Adv.

It stays in the state even after the signal has stopped. This is one of the fundamental building blocks of computers. This workshop will cover how to make and view the state of a NOR gate using a transistor and how to combine two NOR gates to make a basic flip flop. It should take about an hour for a logically minded person who's never done anything like this before. (If we get lots of signups people can work in groups of two) 2011-02-16T14:00:00Z 2011-02-16T15:00:00Z RFID Hacking 1 (1100-1300) RFID Hacking 1 RFID hacking ideas for projects 2011-02-16T11:00:00Z 2011-02-16T13:00:00Z Kinect Hacking 1 (1100-1300) Kinect Hacking 1 Learning how to play with Kinect 2011-02-17T11:00:00Z 2011-02-17T13:00:00Z Arduino Hacking with blinky lights (1630-1800) Advanced Arduino Hacking Project - Blink Light Extravaganza Arduino Hacking Project - Blink Light Extravaganza.
