Revision as of 09:06, 25 May 2018

19-20 June 2018 in Copenhagen

Venue

Natural History Museum of Denmark
Administration
Gothersgade 130
DK-1123 Copenhagen

Scope

During the first day of the workshop, participants will present existing (and planned) implementations of stable specimen identifiers. We will discuss pragmatic actions to improve the stability of individual implementations and the conistency of the entire system. Conclusions will be part of a CETAF best practice documentation providing the guideline for future implementations.

On the second day, we will focus on the interoperability of Linked Open Specimen Data between collections as well as interoperability with external ressources. Expected outcomes are 1) agreed measures for improving the semantic richness of collection data and 2) agreed joint projects demonstrating the potential of specimen LOD. There will also be the opportunity for external participants to discuss interoperability between infrastructures and the role of CETAF IDs.

We ask the participants

• to prepare an informal presentation of their (existing or planned) identifier implementation, which covers 1) the software platform used, 2) the choice of data elements and standards, 3) measures ensuring stability/persistence of identifiers, and 4) your questions, and
• to bring ideas for potential smaller projects demonstrating the potential of Linked Open Collection Data.

During the workshop, we will jointly document our ideas and decisions in a Google Doc file, which will provide the basis for the minutes and best practices documentations.

Logistics

Transport

By public transport to Nørreport Station

The venue is in close proximity (ca. 3 minutes walk) to Nørreport Station, the main hub of public transport in Copenhagen. The next crossing is Nørre Voldgade/Gothersgade, with the Botanical Garden's main entrance at the facing corner.

From the airport

The the metro from the airport (Terminal 3) to Nørreport Station (ca. 15 minutes; there are only two metro routes, both will go to Nørreport Station). You will need a ticket valid for three zones (DKK 36.00). For guidance from Nørreport Station. Taxi from the airport to Gothersgade 130 (ca. 25 minutes) will cost about DKK 250.

By train

Many trains will go directly to Nørreport Station. If yours doesn't, take bus **5C** headed for **Husum Torv** or **Herlev Hospital** or S-Train **A** headed for **Farum St.** from Copenhagen Central Station (Hovedbanegården) to Nørreport Station. Busses will go roughly every 5 minutes, the S-Train every 10-15 minutes. You will need a ticket valid for two zones (DKK 24.00).

Hotels

Hotel Arthur (http://www.arthurhotels.dk/hotel-kong-arthur/) ca. DKK 1000/night
Ibsens Hotel (http://www.arthurhotels.dk/ibsens-hotel/) ca. DKK 850/night
Hotel Christian IV (https://www.hotelchristianiv.dk/en/) ca. DKK 900/night

There is good public transport in Copenhagen, and the venue is close to Nørreport Station, so it should be relatively easy to get to the meeting form hotels farther away.
