Darren gave and overview  of the Geo4Lib Camp planned for January. 

Geo4Lib Camp website:  Geo4LibCamp 2016

The agenda (so far) is here: https://geo4libcamp2016.sched.org/

Consider moving Metadata and Data Management session to Monday and Moving the GeoBlacklight session to Tuesday.

Breakout sessions will happen on Tuesday and Wednesday

Geospatial Metadata session:

We may need participants to have ArcGIS installed for creating metadata - kim will investigate

Ideas for Breakout sessions:

  •    Gazeteers
  •    Methods to query GeoNames
  •    Experience from implementers of GeoBlacklight? What worked? What was needed? Best practices, Operational characteristics, etc...
  •    Integrating GeoHydra into an existing Hydra environment
  •    Issues in FEDORA 4
  •    Geospatial metadata and RDF
  •    Lifecycle of managing data objects (GIS robot suite) 
  •    Strategies for de-duplicating data/metadata, versioning
  •    GeoBlacklight 1.0 planning
  •    Strategies for harvesting metadata from other institutions for discovery
  •    Grants proposals
  •    Major pain points in deploying solutions

    Darren will share position statements from participants in order to highlight other topics of interest from attendees.

 Eliot Jordan, Update on Data Modeling
