L J Haravu -
by Deva, Eswara-Reddy B 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

I am extremely sorry to note the demise of Veteran Librarian and documentalist Mr LJ Haravu. I know him right from 1976 during my tenure as the University librarian of A P Agricultural University. He joined the International Crops Research Institute (ICRISAT) in 1980 s succeeding S Datta. A soft spoken thorough gentleman he was, has mentored several budding librarians in Hyderabad and elsewhere. May his soul rest in peace. Deva Eswara Reddy Associate Professor , Texas A&M University , Texas, United States.

International Workshop on “Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation (SemTech2020)” from 6-10 July 2020 at DRTC, ISI Bangalore
by Narendra Kumar Bhoi 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Dear All, It gives us immense pleasure to inform you that the Documentation Research and Training Centre, Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore is going to organise an International Workshop on “Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation (SemTech2020)” from dated 6-10 July 2020. *Five-day International Workshop on* *“Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation”* *July 6 – 10, 2020* *Documentation Research and Training Centre* *Indian Statistical Institute* *Bangalore, India* Workshop website: https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech *About the workshop:* Data is the basic unit of every information communication and dissemination activity. It is the single most important input for every informed decision and policymaking (societal, scholastic, political, economic, etc.). However, the huge amount of available data including experimental data, sample data, survey data, library data, census data, etc., are not being used to their fullest potential as much of the data being saved and accessed via computers is primarily designed for human use and consumption and is not really amenable for machine processing. The need is to transform the data into a machine-processable format so that it becomes amenable to software interpretation, reasoning, inferencing, doing analytics, and question answering (e.g., *find me all those works of Rabindranath Tagore that have been translated into other languages*.). The techniques and technologies developed within the Semantic Web (SW) and Linked Data (LD) research community will enable us to achieve this. Continue reading https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech *Who Should Attend and Why? * The SemTech2020 is designed for researchers, practitioners, and professionals dealing with data and information cutting across domains and disciplines from both the academia and industry. The following are some of the skills that the attendees would acquire on completion of the Workshop. The workshop will enable the participants in learning the procedure of: - producing knowledge artificats (ontology); - producing data in multi-machine-readable formats with minimal effort; - mixing data collected from various sources in different formats; - integrating the data with the knowledge artifacts giving meaning to data; - producing data in machine-processable formats that can be used by AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems for doing smart jobs (e.g., reasoning, decision making); - LD creation and publication on the Web; - data sharing and communication with the scientific community. *Topics:* - Knowledge Graph - Data modelling, Ontology design - SW Tools and Technologies (e.g., RDF, RDFS, OWL, SPARQL) - *F*indable, *A*ccessible,* I*nteroperable and* R*eusable (FAIR) - Knowledge Graph Application - Ontology-based repositories, services - Data Integration - Linked Data - LD Publication and Access - Data Visualization *Important Dates:* - Registration opening date: 16th March 2020 - Registration closing date: 25th May 2020 - Date of workshop: 6 - 10 July 2020 *For details please visit the workshop website ► https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech/ <https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech/>* *With thanks & regards,* *Narendra Kumar Bhoi* *Senior Research Fellow* Documentation Research and Training Centre Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore e-mail: nkb(a)drtc.isibang.ac.in narendrakumarbhoi(a)gmail.com Website: https://sites.google.com/site/narendrakumarbhoi/

I am shocked to hear sad demise of Shri L J Haravu. I knew him since my joining ICAR service at Nagpur from 1980s. He was long associated with ICRISAT,Pattancheru. I was deputed to hands on training at ICRISAT under Sri Haravu who exposed me to various facets of Agricultural Librarianship. He was a true library professional with modern outlook. We have lost one of the leading library professionals. Let his soul be at rest in peace. Y M Patil Retd. Librarian, RRI, Bengaluru.

Building Bridges for Social Justice in Global Publishing: Seeking the Mexican Perspective: The Serials Librarian: Vol 0, No 0

Building Bridges for Social Justice in Global Publishing: Seeking the Mexican Perspective: The Serials Librarian: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0361526X.2020.1731858?journalCo… At the NASIG 2019 Conference, the presenter outlined how the dominance of English-language publishers based in the Global North negatively impacts researchers in Puebla, Mexico. Universities in the Global South must compete in world-wide university ranking systems, which intensifies the pressure to compete with researchers in the Global North to publish in journals of the Global North in order to demonstrate global competitiveness and local career standing. To support those competitive publishing expectations, institutions of the Global South must also subscribe to English-language journal packages of the Global North, thus locking in a cycle of academic publishing dominance. Meanwhile, Latin America is developing quality Open Access (OA) alternatives. In May 2018, the presenter received funding from a NASIG grant to interview journal editors and librarians at universities in Puebla, Mexico. Through these interviews, the presenter sought to explore challenges for researchers publishing in Global North journals, discuss the role of OA at the interviewees’ institutions, consider the future outlook for OA in Mexico, and examine the social justice implications of the academic journal publishing ecosystem. The presenter reported on findings from the interviews and invited members to discuss how engagement with researchers from the Global South can help the global scholarly communication ecosystem become more equitable. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
