20 Dec '20

*Five-day International Workshop on “Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation”* *February 22 – 26, 2021* *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) the research community will enable us to achieve this. *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 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 artifacts (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: 14th December 2020 - Registration closing date: 10th January 2021 - Date of workshop: 22 - 26 February 2021 *For details please visit the workshop website ► https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech/ Thanking you, Sincerely, Team SemTech2020 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Smart Libraries in Srinagar
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 20 Dec '20

20 Dec '20

This news shows that public library movement is not dead yet in India ==================================================== SSCL to establish 2 Smart Libraries in Srinagar: Dr Shahid Srinagar: Two state-of-the-art Smart Libraries are being established in Srinagar city as a part of the joint collaboration between Srinagar Smart City Ltd (SSCL) and Department of Libraries & Research (DL&R), J&K. This was announced by District Development Commissioner, Srinagar, Dr Shahid Iqbal Choudhary during his visit to the SPS Library Srinagar this morning. Dr Shahid, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of the Srinagar Smart City project, said that one library each would be established in potential and uncovered South and North city areas of Srinagar to cater to the large population of readers including students, senior citizens, women and children. He said as a part of the collaboration between SSCL and DL&R, suitable space and funding for the infrastructure would be provided by SSCL while the books and the staff would be arranged for these libraries by DL&R. He said these libraries would be different from the traditional public libraries by offering both formal and informal spaces for the readers with a variety of facilities including dedicated areas for students, senior citizens, women and children. These libraries, he said will be also provided with WiFi, printing, scanning and photocopy facilities and cafeteria so that interested people can spend time in a leisurely ambience. “These libraries will also offer study material, both hard copy and in e-format to the students for competitive examinations like NEET/JEE/CAT/IAS/KAS etc,” he said and added that the citizens can also meet as a group free of charge in the open library space which would be having a comfortable seating arrangement. Dr Shahid said the Smart Libraries concept is a part of the project on how to reposition the public libraries in an environment of new social and technological challenges. “This novel project is aimed at rediscovering how the public and academic libraries move forward and adapt to new technologies, new communities, new user needs and information behaviours,” he said. He said valuable suggestions were also welcome from the citizens on how to make these proposed libraries more attractive and productive. The suggestions, he said can be mailed to the District Administration Srinagar at email dcsgr-jk(a)nic.in or the Libraries Department ( librarieskmr123(a)gmail.com) Senior officials of the Libraries Department Kashmir accompanied the DDC during his visit to the SPS Library and briefed him about various ongoing activities including automation and digitization of rare books and manuscripts. The Department of Libraries & Research has, on the initiative of the Director Libraries & Research, Mr Mohammad Rafi embarked on massive infrastructure upgradation of libraries including automation and digitization. The Department has formulated a DPR for Rs 3 crore for construction of Model Library at Baramulla under National Mission on Libraries (NML) while a similar project is under formulation for SRS Library Jammu. The Department is also establishing IT Hubs in SPS Library Srinagar and SRS Library Jammu to facilitate the students. The Department also plans to introduce the concept of Mobile Libraries in J&K to take the literary mission to the Panchayat-level. The Department has earmarked around Rs 1.50 crore during the current fiscal for construction of new library building at Aishmuqam and upgradation of public libraries at Kulgam, Budgam, Kreeri and Chrar-e-Sharief out of which Rs 70 lakh have been released to the R&B Department for immediate execution of works. There are at present 71 Libraries functional in Kashmir Division including 3 Central Libraries, 10 District Libraries, 23 Tehsil Libraries, 8 Block Libraries, 20 Border Block Libraries and 7 Shrine Libraries. ============ https://indiaeducationdiary.in/sscl-to-establish-2-smart-libraries-in-srina… Dr P Vyasamoorthy -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

‘Preprint first’ publishing at *eLife* <https://nature.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2c6057c528fdc6f73fa196d9d…> Starting next July, open-access journal *eLife* will review and publish only papers that have already been posted on a preprint server <https://nature.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2c6057c528fdc6f73fa196d9d…>, such as bioRxiv, medRxiv or arXiv.

Second LISA distinguished lecture delivered by Prof.Anil D. Sahasrabudhe Chairman AICTE
by Pandurang Konnur 13 Dec '20

13 Dec '20

Dear Professional Friends, LIS academy profusely thanks all the admirers and supporters of the initiatives of Academy. The Second LISA distinguished lecture was delivered by Prof.Anil D. Sahasrabudhe Chairman AICTE on "Role of Libraries in implementation of NEP-2020 Framework". The lecture was attended by more than 300 Library professionals across India on both WebEx and YouTube platforms. Prof. Sahasrabudhe’s talk addressed many critical issues of the LIS Profession currently, which is at crossroads due to several changing dynamics. NEP's expectations from the libraries in the coming years are well articulated in his talk and set a new direction and benchmark for the library community. His holistic views of reinventing and repositioning libraries in the learning ecosystem have set a road map to academic librarians at various levels. The lecture video has been placed on LIS Academy YouTube Channel at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBUaID8NUjY I am very happy to bring to the notice of this forum that Prof.Sahasrabudhe and Prof.Karisiddappa have admired the role of Librarians in serving the community of information users. During the question hour in response to the suggestions I made on behalf of the Technical Institution Librarians, Prof.Sahasrabudhe has also assured the LIS professionals’ that he will immediately consider to issue necessary directives to all the institutions under AICTE across the country to treat the Librarians as one among Academic Staff and also assured to form a committee to recommend the staff pattern for Technical Institutions in the country. As proposed to the VTU, LIS Academy will submit a proposal through VTU, to the AICTE for necessary implementation. I humbly submit to all the LIS Professionals to support the initiatives of LIS Academy and help us to help the Profession at large. Thank & Regards, P.V.Konnur President, LIS Academy. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Also, he talks on different pertinent issues related to open access, publishing trends, APC issues, some policy initiatives- their possible status, etc. From this conversation, one might trace the important events that gave impetus to open access discussions in India and elsewhere, and the people who inspired Madhan.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 213, Issue 15
by Ashok Asundi 11 Dec '20

11 Dec '20

Dear Dr, Viranjaneyalu, I am glad to know that your are conducting FDP for LIS professionals. I also saw the topics to be dealt in the programme which are well set with ensuing trends. But I have a suggestion, over the years I have observed and it is also well expected that LIS professionals, both teachers and practioners lack Domain Knowledge. I have enjoyed being excellent domain knowledge myself gained over the years. When I was a student of BLibSc at KUD we had paper on General Knowledge and our Prof. M.R.Kumbhar would arrange, lectures by Teachers of the University departments on their respective subjects. It helped me when I did my Ph.D. (The knowledge of Anthropology). So I would suggest to include a topic on Domain Knowledge (Universe of Knowledge) perceived by Dr. Ranganathan's Spiral of Scientific Method. This is for your kind information and action.
