*The Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM)* is seeking a creative and driven
Wikipedian In Residence (WIR) to improve coverage of their collections on
Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata. PAMM is a modern and
contemporary art museum dedicated to collecting and exhibiting
international art of the 20th and 21st centuries.
MUSEUM: https://www.pamm.org
The WIR would be helping PAMM establish Wikipedia programming
institution-wide. The Wikipedian In Residence will work closely with the
digital team at PAMM with access to curators and staff for support and
training.
DIGITIAL LEAD: https://www.jaymollica.com
On Wikidata, the WIR will add structured data and expand items about
painting objects, artists, collections, installations, exhibits, and
events. On Wikimedia Commons, photos of living artists will be taken and
added with appropriate categorization. On Wikipedia, the WIR will improve
articles about PAMM's artists, their key collections, and the notable art
movements of which they are a part. The WIR will also engage community
through edit-a-thons, virtual events, and staff trainings.
They WIR will have a dedicated, expert strategic advisor helping them
onboard into the role and plan their activities with weekly check-ins and
ongoing support.
ADVISOR: https://www.wikiblueprint.com
A good candidate will have some (but not necessarily all) of the desired
skills and experience. We encourage a diversity of candidates to apply even
if your resume doesn't meet every qualification.

SPECIAL TRACK on METADATA & SEMANTICS for CULTURAL COLLECTIONS &
APPLICATIONS
Part of the 16th International Conference on
Metadata and Semantic Research (MTSR 2022),
November 7th - 11th 2022, London, UK
Paper Submission Deadline: 28th August, 2022
http://www.ionio.gr/labs/dbis/mtsr2022/
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
===========================================
NEW Submission deadline: SEPTEMBER 12, 2022
===========================================
Proceedings will be published in Springer CCIS series. CCIS is
abstracted/indexed in Scopus, SCImago,
EI-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews, DBLP, Google Scholar. CCIS volumes are
also submitted for the
inclusion in ISI Proceedings.
** AIM AND SCOPE
Cultural Heritage collections are essential knowledge infrastructures that
provide a solid
representation of the historical background of human communities. These
knowledge infrastructures
are constructed from and integrate cultural information derived from
diverse memory institutions,
mainly libraries, archives and museums. Each individual community has spent
a lot of effort
in order to develop, support and promote its own systems, tools and
metadata for the management
of cultural information, mainly related to its particular resources and use.
In this framework, the management of the cultural information has to deal
with challenges related to
(i) metadata modeling, specification, standardization, extraction,
(semantic) enrichment, mapping,
integration, effective use, and evaluation, (ii) knowledge representation
as conceptualization to
provide the context for unambiguously interpreting metadata, and (iii)
information integration from
different contexts for the provision of integrated access, reuse and
advanced services to users.
At the same time, there are also inter-domain efforts targeted to
semantically align data (research
data, educational data, public sector information etc.) to cultural
information. New challenges are
also emerged from the need to incorporate cultural information into the new
publication paradigms,
where a variety of resources (data, metadata, processes, results, etc) are
linked and integrated,
providing better shareability and reusability. Currently, Linked (Open)
Data, as part of the
Semantic Web Technology, is having a major role in modernizing cultural
heritage collections.
Providing to users the possibility to re-use and integrate data into their
own systems is currently
more than a need, given that transparency and access to information is a
prerequisite. A critical
factor to the effectiveness of many aspects of all the above efforts is the
quality of metadata,
as interpreted by its context and use and evaluated by the proper measures
and methods. Many
institutions and aggregate infrastructures are dealing with the poor
quality of metadata that
inevitably results in poor integration, search and reuse, while their
enrichment, in terms of
contextualization, co-referencing, alignment, etc, is really challenging.
The aim of this Special Track is to maintain a dialogue where researchers
and practitioners working
on all the aspects of the cultural information will come together and
exchange ideas about open issues
at all stages of the cultural heritage information life cycle. The track
also welcomes works related to
semantics and applications for new approaches to cultural information
publication and sharing, as well
as to interlinking to other datasets published in the Semantic Web universe.
TOPICS
The papers in this special track should be original and of high quality,
addressing issues in areas
such as:
* Cultural Heritage metadata models, standards, ontologies, knowledge
organization and representation systems
* Cultural Heritage information integration, interoperability and mappings
* Automated extraction of metadata, entities, and patterns from Cultural
Heritage resources
* Metadata manual or automated (Semantic) enrichment and search
* Metadata quality metrics, tools and services
* Linked Open Data approaches in the Cultural Heritage domain
* Publication, linking and citation of Cultural Heritage information and
resources
* Large volume content management
* 3D models-indexing, storage and retrieval approaches
* Infrastructures for sharing content
* Digital Curation workflows and models
* Provenance and preservation metadata for Cultural Heritage digital
resources
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Authors can submit either full papers (12 pages) or short papers (6 pages).
Submitted papers have to
follow the LNCS proceedings formatting style and guidelines.
Submissions should be original and not previously submitted, published and
under review to other
Conferences or Journals.The submitted papers will undergo the same peer
review as the submissions
for MTSR 2022 and accepted contributions will be published in the MTSR 2022
proceedings (Springer CCIS
series). Authors of accepted papers will be asked to register to the
Conference and present their work.
Selected papers might be considered for a revised and extended version to
be published in a range of
international journals, including the International Journal of Metadata,
Semantics and Ontologies
(Inderscience), and Data Technologies and Applications (previously
published as Program, Emerald).
More information on submission can be found at the MTSR 2022 call for
papers web page.
IMPORTANT DATES
September 12th, 2022: NEW Submission deadline!
September 30th, 2022: Notification of decision (Acceptance/Rejection)

Program information:
The CC Certificate for GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) is
a professional development training for institutions or community groups
engaged in cultural heritage. As more GLAMs adapt to increasingly online
audiences and users, they often seek Creative Commons legal tools,
expertise and community support. Cultural heritage institutions share a
common goal with Creative Commons: to make knowledge and culture globally
accessible.
In the CC Certificate for GLAM, community members will develop capacity in
opening access to cultural heritage. They will develop a deeper
understanding of open licensing and copyright considerations with
digitization projects, Rights Statements, Traditional Knowledge Labels,
working with the public domain, and more.
CC Certificate for GLAM participants will also gain access to a global
community of professionals and activists working toward similar cultural
and policy changes in their own cultural heritage institutions.
Best,
Jennryn
