If you are looking to do interesting things with Citation Data and related tools, this event is for you!

 

Future Citation Data Hack days is a FREE event (includes accommodation and food) for developers and experts who are interested in the area of Citation Data, areas of interest include:

  • Business intelligence
  • Research management
  • Big Data
  • Novel use cases
  • Future directions
  • Open data
  • Linked Data / RDF / Ontologies
  • Using Hadoop
  • Amazon Web Services / Cloud services
  • Working with APIs, both open and commercial

This event has been organised between DevCSI, the JISC Citation Data directions project. It aims to bring together software developers, project managers, and experts particularly in the area of Citation Data Analysis.

Hack days are a place for like minded people to get together, to have an opportunity to discuss issues relevant in the area, experiment in a focused way on prototyping systems and even hacking them together. It also aims for people to explore current ways of doing things and how they could be improved.

We are hoping that people will come together to form small teams/groups, to discuss issues, work on paper/real prototypes, datasets, APIs. All participants will be able to share their own examples, expertise and opinions via the lightning sessions, discussions and informal networking opportunities.The event will culminate in a series of presentations from the teams in terms of the work they have carried out.

Please visit the Future Citation Data Ideas page for the people are interested in. Please add a new posting, or reply to existing ones to express your interest.

 

 We really want developers to do interesting things with Citation Data and available APIs
