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.
