'''Please include a "Contact/Responsible Individual" name and email address so we know who is willing to put on the proposed precon.
'''
==Full Day==

=== Hacking Content ===

What is the future of getting library information and resources into users’ hands at the right time and with appropriate context and relevancy. Learning management systems, library guides, Web-scale discovery systems-plenty of tools to choose from and still we see lots of opportunities for improvement. Let’s pick them apart and brainstorm ideas for projects that could address weaknesses in one or all of these systems. If you’re interested in these issues, challenges and conundrums join us for a day of thinking, dreaming and scheming. All skill sets and backgrounds needed.

Speakers/Facilitators will be:
- Thom Cox - Manager of Library Information Technology Services - Tufts University
- Ken Varnum – Web Systems Manager - University of Michigan Libraries
- Evviva Weinraub – Director, Emerging Technologies and Services - Oregon State University Libraries

Contact: Margaret Mellinger - margaret dot mellinger at oregonstate dot edu

=== Developing applications using REST web services ===

Been hearing about web services but don’t know where to start to build something? Have you built applications that use read services but are stumped by OAuth, Content Negotiation and HTTP Headers? Come dig in and learn how to build applications that interact with both read and write REST services. We’ll cover the basic principles and practices of REST services and discuss the Atom Publishing Protocol as a REST service and its extensibility. The group will examine and test the CouchDB HTTP API by building a simple list creation tool. You’ll learn how OCLC’s platform web services leverage Atom to expose the data and business processes from OCLC’s library systems. By the end of the session, you’ll know the basic principles of REST services, be able to perform Create, Read, Update and Delete operations via REST and be able to authenticate to REST services via API keys and OAuth.

Come ready to learn and code!

==Half Day Morning==

=== Linkfest ===

We've had talks and sessions galore about Linked Data at code4lib in past years. Let's focus on linking. Bring data you want to publish and link to or link from and your ideas about new ways we can push data linking into being part of our regular approach to how we put our libraries' content and services on the web. At the start of the session we'll run a quick poll to see who wants to link to what and how, and we'll pair or group up and get to work from there. May a kajillion links bloom!

If you need an "intro to linked data" we can prep a good list of readings/talks to review before you come. But please come ready to link!

=== [[Digging into metadata: context, code, and collaboration]] ===

Working with library/archival metadata is difficult. This preconference will tackle pressing questions and will show some of the intricacies of metadata (including AACR2/MARC) with exercises to demonstrate why inconsistencies exist in the data. What steps can the cataloging & metadata community take to help improve the quality of this data? What tools & techniques could help? Rules have evolved over time leaving dirty legacy data. Systems have impacted--and will continue to impact--data structure & design. How can this data be aggregated and refined for use in a new emerging data environments? What assumptions can safely be made and when do you need to inquire about local practice? We will end with a hack-fest where you can ask questions of experienced catalogers and get help with your metadata related problems. Bring your laptops and data.

2011-08-15T14:28:07Z

Joshuago78:

Nominations for invited speakers for Code4Lib 2012. Alphabetical order.

==Daniel Chudnov==
Let's get back to basics and back to community. Instead of a name from outside of the community lets go with someone from the community. Besides his many accomplishments as a coder for libraries, Dan Chudnov is also one of a handful of people responsible for he first code4lib conference. From hs web site:

Daniel Chudnov is a librarian and programmer in the Office of Strategic Initiatives at the Library of Congress. Previously, he worked as a software developer at the Yale Center for Medical Informatics, and contributed to several free software projects for libraries while working at the MIT Libraries and the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library at the Yale University School of Medicine. He is a frequent speaker and author on technology and the importance of free software in libraries, and he writes a monthly column for Computers in Libraries magazine. He started the oss4lib weblog and listserv in 1999 to promote the use of free software in our community.

Daniel earned an MS at the School of Information in 1997 and studied Economics and Japanese as an undergraduate, both at the University of Michigan. In 2005, he received the LITA/Brett Butler Entrepreneurship Award from the Library & Information Technology Association of the American Library Association.

He has been cancer-free since 1993.

==Brian Fitzpatrick==
Brian leads several of Google's Chicago engineering efforts, including Transparency Engineering and The Google Affiliate Network. He also started and leads Google's Data Liberation Front, a team that systematically works to make it easy for users to move their data both to and from Google. Lastly, he serves as internal advisor for Google's open source efforts.
Prior to joining Google, Brian was a senior software engineer on the version control team at CollabNet, working on Subversion, cvs2svn, and CVS. He has also worked at Apple Computer as a senior engineer in their professional services division, developing both client and web applications for Apple's largest corporate customers.
Brian has been an active open source contributor for over thirteen years. After years of writing small open source programs and bugfixes, he became a core Subversion developer in 2000, and then the lead developer of the cvs2svn utility. He was nominated as a member of the Apache Software Foundation in 2002 and spent two years as the ASF's VP of Public Relations. He is also a member of the Open Web Foundation. Brian has written numerous articles and given many presentations on a wide variety of subjects from version control to software development, including co-writing "Version Control with Subversion" (now in its second edition) as well as chapters for "Unix in a Nutshell" and "Linux in a Nutshell."
Brian has an A.B. in Classics from Loyola University Chicago with a major in Latin, a minor in Greek, and a concentration in Fine Arts and Ceramics. Despite growing up in New Orleans and working for Silicon Valley companies for most of his career, he decided years ago that Chicago was his home and stubbornly refuses to move to California.

==Tony Hirst==
AKA Psychemedia, Tony's job is to help redistribute the future. He does interesting things with library, government and education data. Here is his own bio which describes things pretty well.

Tony Hirst is a Lecturer in the Department of Communication and Systems at The Open University and regular blogger at [http://blog.ouseful.info/ OUseful.info]. With a background in electronics and artificial intelligence, he has authored on OU courses ranging from robotics to information skills, and most recently a course on computer game design and appreciation. He is passionate about open and lifelong education, and is actively involved in developing course models to support informal as well as formal education. As a self-proclaimed mashup artist, he gives regular workshop and conference presentations on how to create novel information services from freely available web tools and applications such as Google Spreadsheets and Yahoo Pipes, as well as creating compelling network visualisations using tools such as a Gephi. An Arcadia Fellow at the University Library, Cambridge in 2009, he has spent many years berating academic libraries about the changing world of information around them. Since posting a widely circulated map based visualisation of MPs’ travel expenses in Spring 2009, he has become increasingly interested in the practice of data journalism and the use of visualisation techniques as a way of making sense of complex data sets, as well as co-founder of [http://getthedata.org/ getTheData.org], an open public data question and answer site. This approach is complemented by his work on the public document consultation platform [http://writetoreply.org/ WriteToReply] which is helping government departments and policy makers think differently about the nature of commentable documents. (source: [http://blog.ouseful.info/about/ | OUseful.Info, the blog…])

== Damon Horowitz ==
Damon Horowitz is a philosophy professor and serial entrepreneur. He recently joined Google as In-House Philosopher / Director of Engineering, heading development of several initiatives involving social and search. He came to Google from Aardvark, the social search engine, where he was co-founder and CTO, overseeing product development and research strategy. Prior to Aardvark, Horowitz built several companies around applications of intelligent language processing. He co-founded Perspecta (acquired by Excite), was lead architect for Novation Biosciences (acquired by Agilent), and co-founded NewsDB (now Daylife).

==Hanson Hosein==

Hanson Hosein is the Director of the Master of Communication in Digital Media program at the University of Washington in Seattle. He’s also an award-winning journalist and filmmaker. He specializes in storytelling, social media strategies and business models of communication.

His film, Independent America: The Two-Lane Search for Mom & Pop was an early exercise in the use of digital technology in storytelling and an ongoing interaction with an audience. Self-produced and self-financed, the award-winning documentary has been broadcast internationally, and airs regularly on the Sundance Channel in the United States. Perhaps more importantly, grassroots groups across America continue to screen the film as a tool to promote local economies. Hanson’s latest film, Independent America: Rising from Ruins focuses on how small business helped resurrect New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, despite ruinous city policies favoring big box stores.

Hanson won Emmy and Overseas Press Club awards for his NBC News coverage “The Fall of Kosovo.” He was NBC’s Middle East Producer and MSNBC.com correspondent from 1997 to 2001. Prior to that served as an investigative producer at “NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw.”

==William Turkel==
From his page at http://history.uwo.ca/faculty/turkel/ - Project Director, Digital Infrastructure for the SSHRC Strategic Knowledge Cluster

NiCHE: Network in Canadian History & Environment

"In my research and teaching I draw on, integrate and try to extend a number of different disciplines: environmental and public history, the histories of science and technology, 'big history', STS, computation, and studies of place and social memory."

Bill is an engaging and inspiring speaker who groks what we are trying to do with code4lib. I've seen him speak at THATCamp, Access 2009, and at code4lib north; his ability to bridge his interdisciplinary interests with what matters to us library hackers is unparalleled. He'd be a perfect fit and when I asked him this past spring if he'd consider speaking at code4lib he was willing and interested. --dchud

HAMR: Human/Authority Metadata Reconciliation

2011-02-07T21:33:24Z

Joshuago78: /* Draft Matching Algorithm */

[[HAMR: Human/Authority Metadata Reconciliation]]

Sean Chen, Tim Donohue, Joshua Gomez, Ranti Junus, Ryan Scherle

A tool for a curator to determine whether the various fields of a metadata record are correct. Takes a metadata record, locates any identifiers (e.g., DOI, PMID). Retrieves a copy of the metadata record from an authoritative source (e.g., CrossRef, PubMed). Displays a human-readable page that compares fields in the initial record with fields in the authoritative record. Each field is color-coded based on how well it matches, so the curator can quickly identify discrepancies.

Narrowing the focus for today:
* Dublin core (maybe qualified)

[[HAMR: Human/Authority Metadata Reconciliation]]

Sean Chen, Tim Donohue, Joshua Gomez, Ranti Junus, Ryan Scherle

A tool for a curator to determine whether the various fields of a metadata record are correct. Takes a metadata record, locates any identifiers (e.g., DOI, PMID). Retrieves a copy of the metadata record from an authoritative source (e.g., CrossRef, PubMed). Displays a human-readable page that compares fields in the initial record with fields in the authoritative record. Each field is color-coded based on how well it matches, so the curator can quickly identify discrepancies.

Narrowing the focus for today:
* Dublin core (maybe qualified)
* framework that allows multiple authority sources
* NOT focusing on author names ([http://www.orcid.org/ ORCID] is already working on this), except the fact that they are strings, and we'll do basic string matching
* 1 to 1 matching. Even if you want to eventually match with multiple authorities, you'd only do one at a time
