Keynote speakers include Jacqueline McGlade, Chief Scientist, United Nations Environment Programme and Paul Berkman, Head of the Arctic Ocean Geopolitics Programme through the Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge and a Research Professor through the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management at the University of California Santa Barbara. *SciDataCon 2014 takes place in New Delhi on 2-5 November 2014: early bird registration remains open until 1 October 2014! http://www.scidatacon2014.org/registration <http://www.scidatacon2014.org/registration>* *Register now to attend the international conference on data sharing and integration to address major global research issues!* SciDataCon 2014 is motivated by the conviction that the most significant research challenges - and in particular the pressing issues relating to global sustainability - cannot be properly addressed without due attention to various issues relating to data. SciDataCon aims to make explicit the connection between concrete and specific challenges to ensure environmental protection, economic prosperity and social well being along with the research questions that arise from these challenges and the necessary role of data policy, management and analysis in addressing these research questions. The effectiveness and credibility of research findings rely on the widest possible availability of quality-assessed and interoperable datasets. Accordingly, with the ambition of building a bridge between important research concerns and related data issues, the programme is structured around four tracks which correspond to the research themes of ICSU's flagship Future Earth programme, while also taking into account the challenges of data science and services. ___________________________ CODATA: International Collaboration for Open Scientific Data, an information leaflet http://bit.ly/codata_info_14-09 Join us at SciDataCon 2014, the International Conference on Data Sharing and Integration for Global Sustainability: http://www.scidatacon2014.org/registration ___________________________ Dr Simon Hodson | Executive Director CODATA | http://www.codata.org E-Mail: execdir(a)codata.org | Twitter: @simonhodson99 | Skype: simonhodson99 Blog: http://www.codata.org/blog Diary: http://bit.ly/simonhodson99-calendar Tel (Office): +33 1 45 25 04 96 | Tel (Cell): +33 6 86 30 42 59 CODATA (ICSU Committee on Data for Science and Technology), 5 rue Auguste Vacquerie, 75016 Paris, FRANCE _______________________________________________ okfn-discuss mailing list okfn-discuss(a)lists.okfn.org https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss Unsubscribe: https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/options/okfn-discuss -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 DRTC Seminar 3 (2014) Bio-ontologies: A case study ABSTRACT The last two decades have witnessed an explosion of biological data in diverse database formats governed by heterogeneous infrastructures. The semantics (attribute terms) and the organizations vary across the databases. Bio-ontologies are used to describe different conceptual frameworks that guide the collection, organization and publication of biological data. The bio-ontologies are a means of communicating and resolving semantic and organizational differences between biological databases in order to enhance their integration and allow interoperability. This seminar includes a short introduction on ontology and its applications followed by short descriptions on bioinformatics, its taxonomy and applications, need for bio-ontologies, ontology library and a case study on cancer ontologies with special reference to the relations.

Europe allows public libraries to digitize material in their possession
by Subbiah Arunachalam 14 Sep '14

14 Sep '14

*Can public libraries (including university libraries) digitize their collection for dissemination to the users? * The European Court of Justice (EJC) states that authors have the right to prohibit the reproduction andcommunication of their works to the public. The court, however, clarified an exception to this right that permits public libraries, for the purpose of research or private study, to make an author's work electronically accessible to library users at electronic reading points within the libraries. The EJC said that* a library would be unable to reali**z**e "its core mission or promote the public interest in promoting research and private study without being able to do this*." However, the court emphasized that printing or electronically transferring an author's work is an act of reproduction, which, if allowed, would require fair compensation to the rights holder.
