Agenda and Notes, July 5, 2006

1. Need for better technical support for production Registry (highlighted by loss of power in Vestal last week) -- Jon

2. Review of Roadmap progress and priorities.

3. Feedback from Stuart subsequent to entering three GEM vocabularies

4. NSDL Annual Meeting presentation proposal:


Positioning NSDL in Broader Contexts: the NSDL Registry Project

Registries provide important functions for digital libraries, particularly where controlled vocabularies and web infrastructure meet. The NSDL Registry Project, completing its first year, brings together developing W3C and ISO standards, NSDL vocabulary development, and experience with research-level registries building internationally. As part of this presentation, Stuart Sutton, co-PI of the project, will discuss the new Simple Knowledge Organization Standard (SKOS), the basis of the NSDL Registry’s approach to controlled vocabularies. Diane Hillmann, co-PI, will discuss Registry services, the development strategy for the remainder of the project, and, with Jon Phipps, demonstrate the Registry itself. Time for discussion will explore how NSDL projects can use the Registry, and how they can begin to take advantage of this essential service.
