==== Workshop/Demo 4:00pm - 5:00pm ====

Modeling Concepts as Linked Data RDF, '''''Steven Anderson & Eben English''''', ''Boston Public Library''

"How does your library exist in the Linked Data world? Is it a foaf:Organization, a schema:Organization, org:Organization, etc? Once you've decided that, what properties does your library have? For example, is it called by an rdfs:label, or skos:prefLabel, or dcterms:title, or something else entirely? These questions don't have a single correct answer, and therein lies the challenge of modeling data in RDF. Whether it's descriptive metadata, digital object relationships, or places, people, and things, you need to understand the options for mapping data and the pros and cons each mapping brings. This workshop will not be a presentation, but a collaboration: we are relying on attendees to provide concepts they've struggled to map in the Linked Data world. We would then go through the process of discussing as a group how to map those concepts and see if we can come to agreement as to the best approach(es)."

Call for Volunteers coming soon.

Hosting a conference is incredibly complex, and it cannot be done without the help of the entire community. If you are interested in being an awesome person and applying your skills to a particular part of the Code4Lib 2017 conference, create an account on this wiki and sign-up for one or more of the groups below (please provide a contact). Each committee must have a Primary Contact (chair), Secondary Contact (co-chair), and Documentarian (secretary). The role of the Documentarian is to transcribe key information to future conference committees, such as timelines, costs, process, etc. Feel free to improve the summary statements for each of the committees. When adding your name, please indicate 'v' if you are a veteran on the committee so that we ensure committees are not made up entirely of newbies.

We will assign a local contact (LPC) to each committee.

=== Reception at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia / Mütter Museum , Tuesday, March 8th ===

All attendees are invited to join us for a "disturbingly informative" opening reception at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, home of America’s finest museum of medical history. [http://muttermuseum.org/ The Mütter Museum] displays its beautifully preserved collections of anatomical specimens, models, and medical instruments in a 19th-century “cabinet museum” setting.

The reception includes an open bar and free access to the museum exhibits from 5:45PM through 7:45PM. We will also provide a selection of vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore friendly appetizers featuring: Pennsylvania flatbreads, a locally-sourced variety of sausages, and a Mediterranean spread that includes three different varieties of hummus and other plates.

=== LibTechWomen Meetup, Wednesday, March 9th ===

An informal meetup for women and their friends in library technology organized by [http://libtechwomen.org/ #libtechwomen]. No need to RSVP. We'll make sure there's an announcement ahead of time, and some of us will be in the hotel lobby at 5:15 to point people in the right direction.

When: Wednesday, March 9th - 5:30pm - 7pm

Where: [http://www.nationalmechanics.com/ National Mechanics] ([http://nationalmechanics.com/philadelphia-restaurant-menu menu]) at [http://nationalmechanics.com/philadelphia-hours-directions 22 South 3rd St]

Come have a drink (soda is a fine choice!) Eat a snack or a big meal. Stay as long as you want. We just want a good time for the community to connect and chat.

NOTE: There is a small chance we might overcrowd National Mechanics. If we do, there many options within one block. We'll make sure to coordinate such "satellites" if need be.

Questions? Contact [mailto:deibel@uw.edu Kate]

=== Play and Share in the Conference Hotel, Wednesday, March 9th ===
A large space in the conference hotel will be available for conference attendees to gather and socialize, play games and share goodies. We will be providing tables and chairs for Board Game Night ([https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y9Iz_tLu6j0gUAeq3iVWQTdSAIDOFaJryzswXF41tgs/edit#gid=0 list of games being brought]), and some attendees are planning to organize an acoustic jam session. You are also welcome to bring stuff to share, from craft sodas and beers to baked goods to local treats ([https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23cannoli4lib&src=typd #cannoli4lib]).

Beer/drink activities will be in Hamilton. Boardgames are in Bromely/Claypoole (if you want quiet) or in Hamilton with the music/drinks.

If you would like to play, sing, or just request a song (Board Game Night folks might want to do this!) put title and lyrics here (if you can get chords, awesome, but optional):
