Delivering and Preserving GIS Data

Half Day [Morning]

  • Darren Hardy, Stanford University, drh@stanford.edu
  • Jack Reed, Stanford University, pjreed@stanford.edu

We will discuss how to set up a spatial data infrastructure (SDI) to deliver GIS data, to manage GIS content in a Fedora repository for preservation, and to establish metadata requirements for good spatial discovery. By the end of the workshop you will have a working SDI! This workshop is a compliment to the GeoBlacklight workshop in the afternoon.

A hand's on introduction to GeoBlacklight

Half Day [Afternoon]

  • Darren Hardy, Stanford University, drh@stanford.edu
  • Jack Reed, Stanford University, pjreed@stanford.edu

GeoBlacklight is a discovery solution for geospatial data that builds on the successful Blacklight platform. Many libraries have collections of GIS data that aren’t easily discoverable. This will be a hands-on workshop, focused on installing and running GeoBlacklight which builds on the morning workshop "Delivering and Preserving GIS Data".

Replace yourself with a painfully complex bash script...or try Ansible

Half Day [Morning]

  • Chad Nelson, chad dot nelson @ lyrasis dot org
  • Blake Carver, Blake dot carver @lyrasis dot org

Abstract:

Ansible is an open source automation and configuration management tool that focuses on simplicity to help make your life as a developer, or a sysadmin, or even a full on devops-er, easier. This workshop will cover the basic building blocks used in Ansible as well as some best practices for maintaining your Ansible code. We will start by working through a simple example together, and then participants will be given time to work on their own projects with instructors providing guidance and troubleshooting along the way. By the end of the session, participants will have a working knowledge of Ansible and be able to write a working playbook to meet local needs.

Intro to Docker

Half Day [Whenever]

Abstract:

Docker (jbfink code4lib journal article) is an open source Linux operating system-level virtualization framework that has seen great uptake over the past year. This workshop will take you through the basic features of Docker, including setup, importing of containers, development workflows and deploying. Knowing when Docker is useful and when it isn't will also be covered. Ideally, every attendee will have ample experience creating and running their own Docker instances by the end.

Code Retreat

Full Day

  • Jeremy Friesen, University of Notre Dame, jfriesen at nd dot edu
  • Additional facilitators welcome; Especially if you have CodeRetreat experience.

Abstract:

"Coderetreat is a day-long, intensive practice event, focusing on the fundamentals of software development and design. By providing developers the opportunity to take part in focused practice, away from the pressures of 'getting things done', the coderetreat format has proven itself to be a highly effective means of skill improvement. Practicing the basic principles of modular and object-oriented design, developers can improve their ability to write code that minimizes the cost of change over time." About Code Retreat

Dive into Hydra

One of: "Half Day [Afternoon]"

  • Justin Coyne, Data Curation Experts, justin@curationexperts.com
  • Bess Sadler, Stanford University, bess@stanford.edu

Hydra is a collaboration of over 30 educational institutions who work together to solve their repository needs by building open-source software. Dive into Hydra is a course that bootstraps you into the Hydra software framework. We'll start at the basics and walk you through the various layers of the Hydra stack. We'll conclude by installing the Worthwhile gem, enabling every participant to walk away with their own Institutional Repository. Participants who have prior exposure to web programming will get the most out of this course. It's recommended (but not required) that you attend "RailsBridge" prior to this workshop.

This is a workshop intended for both end-users of Archivematica (librarians, archivists, systems administrators) as well as developers who are interested in Archivematica feature development, or use of Archivematica back-end features for integration into other projects.

In the morning, the end-users will meet with Sarah for a hands-on Archivematica training session. We will discuss processing configurations, use cases, and installation/hosting options for Archivematica. We will also demonstrate DIP upload to Archivematica's access system, AtoM. During this time, developers will meet with Justin and other Artefactual developers for a hackaton style session focusing on Archivematica development and integration.

For the afternoon, we plan to bring the two groups together to discuss, share use cases, and have breakout sessions focused on specific topics that arose from the morning and afternoon sessions.

When signing up, please indicate if you are an end-user or a developer.
