Hydra Connect 2016: Lightning talk proposals
This list is now closed and the talks are being scheduled.
The Hydra Connect 2016 Program Committee has left space on the Wednesday morning for up to 24 lightning talks of no more than five minutes each. If you’d like to take one of these slots to share some ideas/concerns/rants/raves or whatever, please sign up below.
We're asking for your name and email address (obviously), a title, a very brief description (if the title is not self-explanatory) and a target audience (All, managers, devs, sysops etc). This last will allow us to group together talks aimed at a similar audience. If there are more proposals than we can fit, the Program Committee will decide which to accommodate - this is not "first come, first served" so don't be put off adding to the list if it is already getting long!
| Name | E-mail address | Title | Description (optional) | Target audience (All, managers, devs, sysops etc) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trey Pendragon | tpendragon@princeton.edu | Plum at Princeton | An introduction to our workflow ingest tool featuring IIIF manifest generation, structure administration, object re-ordering, and support for multi-volume works. | All |
| Steven Anderson | sanderson@bpl.org | Migrating from MODS to Linked Data RDF | This is a topic that could be of interest to many folks. Members of the MODS and RDF Descriptive Metadata Subgroup will be hosting a breakout session later in the day and this is by way of a trailer and an invite. | Developers and Metadata folks |
| Ruth Kitchin Tillman | rtillman@nd.edu | Results of a Survey on Rates of Faculty Self-Deposit in Institutional Repositories | Presenting the initial results of a survey of 81 institutional repositories–reports in terms of numbers, notable corrolations. | All |
| David Cliff | d.cliff@northeastern.edu | Making XML Schema Validation more reliable | When the Library of Congress was recently attacked, we noticed an important part of our workflow ground to a halt - XML schema validation had failed. We've developed a gem that allows for schema mirroring and offline validation/rspec testing, which we hope might be of use to others. | Developers |
| Mike Giarlo | mjgiarlo@stanford.edu | Sufia and CurationConcerns Usage (sharing data from annual survey) | For the past few years I've been distributing a survey to gauge usage of Sufia (and, this year, CurationConcerns) and to get a sense of what direction the community wants the components to go in. I'd like to report back to you all on what the latest data says, and share a rough roadmap for 2016-2017. | All |
| Matt Zumwalt | matt@protocol.ai | Introduction to IPFS and IPLD for Libraries & Archives | An introduction to IPFS, IPLD and how the decentralized web solves long-standing problems for Libraries, Archives and anyone who uses linked data. | All |
| Justin Coyne | jcoyne85@stanford.edu | IIIF in Hydra | The Hydra-in-a-Box team in conjunction with Princeton has added IIIF image and presentation API support to Hydra. Come see how we're going farther together with open APIs. | All |
| Eric O'Hanlon | elo2112@columbia.edu | Hyacinth: One Year Later | Follow-up to last year's presentation about Columbia's Hyacinth editor. Lots of changes / progress since the last presentation. Many TODOs have been TODONE. Hyacinth is a metadata editor, batch Fedora ingest tool and content publishing application that is becoming more and more integrated into our digitization, cataloging and front-end presentation workflows. Built on top of Hydra, but not Blacklight, with a JavaScript-and-AJAX-heavy front-end for many search/editing features. Currently Fedora 3, but hopefully moving toward Fedora 4 early next year. Still under development with additional planned features. I'd love to present and get feedback. | All |
| James Griffin | griffinj@lafayette.edu | Virtual Machines for Hydra using Vagrant, Packer, and Atlas | Generalizing from discussions within the GIS Data Modeling Working Group, this talk aims to address the potential benefits and risks involved in attempting to integrate Vagrant Boxes (virtual machine images) into software development and service deployment life cycles. | Developers, Sysops |
| Alicia Cozine | alicia@curationexperts.com | Monitoring Hydra | A brief walk through on concerns related to monitoring and alerting a production Hydra stack. | Ops |
| Jack Reed | pjreed@stanford.edu | Blacklight Heatmaps | Yes! Another Blacklight mapping plugin! This one is super cool with features like performant solr clustering, indexing multiple types of geometry (bounding boxes and points!) | All |
| Jeremy Morse | jgmorse@umich.edu | Fully-encoded text in Hydra | A report of Michigan's early-stage investigation into building support for fully-encoded text in Hydra, with an eye towards migrating level-4 TEI texts from DLXS and possibly including EPUB 3. | All |
| Chris Awre | c.awre@hull.ac.uk | Jisc Research Data Management Shared Service | An overview of the Jisc Research Data Management Shared Service initiative in the UK, looking to establish a set of infrastructural components that academic institutions can combine to provide an overall RDM solution. Hydra has been shortlisted as one of the repository components that an initial group of pilot institutions can use. | All, particularly those interested in RDM |
| Jeremy Friesen | jfriesen@nd.edu | We added Sipity workflow to CurationConcerns | Sipity, long the envy of the Hydra community, has support for multiple, configurable complex workflows. At it's heart is a state machine, which allows users with certain roles to take actions which trigger notifications, and custom code. I'll demonstrate how we've brought this to CurationConcerns. | All |
| Benjamin Armintor | Cavendish: Fedora, LDP, BlazeGraph | Cavendish endeavours to be both an implementation of LDP and a laboratory for elaborating Fedora 4 APIs as extensions of the LDP specification. We are also interested in better understanding how the constituent frameworks of a Fedora 4 implementation influence the way its core model is understood- in this case, building a Fedora on a triplestore. Cavendish is built on BlazeGraph. | RDF and Fedora communities | |
| Steven Ng | steven.ng@temple.edu | Ruby and Rails resources for new and not so new Hydra Developers | A lightning fast overview of free or cheap, cool and useful Ruby and Rails web sites, blogs, podcasts, videos, and users groups for new and not-so-new Hydra developers. I'll talk fast, but don't worry, I'll post the links on-line before the talk. | Devs |
| Chris Bartos | bartos.25@osu.edu | Handle System integration with Sufia | Quick overview of the implementation of Handle System (https://www.handle.net) support into a Curation Concerns / Sufia application. | Devs |
| Corey Hinshaw | hinshaw.25@osu.edu | Developing a Hydra application with Docker | Hydra applications can interact with a number of backing services (Fedora, Solr, Redis, job runners, etc). Using Docker to run these services locally can potentially simplify the development environment and reduce on-boarding time. | Devs |
Jon Dunn | jwd@iu.edu | HydraDAM2 Update | Quick update on the current status and future directions of the NEH-supported HydraDAM2 project atIndiana University and WGBH, which is building a Hydra / Fedora 4 - based digital preservation repository system focused on the needs of audiovisual media. | All |
| Peter Binkley | peter.binkley@ualberta.ca | Performance Profiling Tools used for HydraNorth | We encountered big performance hurdles with our Sufia6 based application HydraNorth, and this is a quick overview of tools we used to help us monitoring and profiling the performance of our application, and restoring sanity to our team. | Devs |
| Weiwei Shi | weiwei.shi@ualberta.ca | Fedora OAI Provider | An overview of the work we did to improve performance on the Fedora OAI provider by adding a MapDB index to ModeShape. The modified version of fcrepo4-oaiprovider has brought the response time for a full ListRecords from 4 minutes down to 25 seconds. | Devs |
Ellen Ramsey & Dave Goldstein | ecr2c@virginia.edu dpg3k@virginia.edu | Live Demo of Libra 2 ETD Repo (Sufia 7) | A brief look into the depositor experience UI resulting from architecture choices we've made in our now-live Sufia 7 implementation for ETDs at UVA. See our "micro service" approach in action via custom, modular admin and search services. | All |
