BIOfid is a specialized information service currently being developed to mobilize biodiversity data dormant in printed historical and modern literature and to offer a platform for open access journals on the science of biodiversity. Our team of librarians, computer scientists and biologists produce high-quality text digitizations, develop new text-mining tools and generate detailed ontologies enabling semantic text analysis and semantic search by means of user-specific queries. In a pilot project we focus on German publications on the distribution and ecology of vascular plants, birds, moths and butterflies extending back to the Linnaeus period about 250 years ago. The three organism groups have been selected according to current demands of the relevant research community in Germany. The text corpus defined for this purpose comprises over 400 volumes with more than 100,000 pages to be digitized and will be complemented by journals from other digitization projects, copyright-free and project-related literature. With TextImager (Natural Language Processing & Text Visualization) and TextAnnotator (Discourse Semantic Annotation) we have already extended and launched tools that focus on the text-analytical section of our project. Furthermore, taxonomic and anatomical ontologies elaborated by us for the taxa prioritized by the project’s target group - German institutions and scientists active in biodiversity research - are constantly improved and expanded to maximize scientific data output. Our poster describes the general workflow of our project ranging from literature acquisition via software development, to data availability on the BIOfid web portal (http://biofid.de/), and the implementation into existing platforms which serve to promote global accessibility of biodiversity data.
Von der Gruppenarbeit zum Community Building – der "Digital Creative Space" der SUB Göttingen
(2018)
Bibliotheken stehen vor der Herausforderung, Lernorte mit virtuellen Angeboten kombiniert weiterzuentwickeln, digitale Lernumgebungen zu integrieren, all dies mit den Nutzerbedürfnissen abzugleichen und räumlich ansprechend umzusetzen. An der SUB Göttingen wurde mit der Konzeption eines Digital Creative Space der Versuch gestartet, all diese Aspekte zu berücksichtigen und mit Studierenden gemeinsam einen innovativen Lernort zu kreieren. Im Laufe des Projektes wurde klar, dass der Weg einen wichtigen Teil des Ziels darstellt: Den Studierenden sollte kein fertiges Angebot präsentiert, sondern stattdessen ein wachsendes Experimentierfeld zur Verfügung gestellt werden, das sich abgestimmt auf die aktuellen und zukünftigen Bedürfnisse entwickeln soll und kann.
Im Juli 2018 hat die Managementkommission ihre Arbeit für die Amtsperiode 2018 bis 2021 aufgenommen. Die Managementkommission greift neue Entwicklungen in der Managementdiskussion auf und bereitet die relevanten Managementthemen für die bibliothekarische Berufsöffentlichkeit und Bibliotheksleitungsaufgaben auf. Sie regt die Erprobung in der Praxis an. Einen Schwerpunkt legt die Kommission auf die Vermittlung von Methoden und Techniken. Zur Weitergabe des Wissens organisiert sie Seminare, Workshops und Gesprächsrunden.
All linguistics should be media linguistics, but it is not. This thesis is presented by using linguistic landscapes as an example. LL research does not belong to the traditional core of either mainstream linguistics or media linguistics. This is why not everything within power has been done yet to make full use of their thematic, conceptual and methodological possibilities. Visible signs in public space, however, are an everyday phenomenon. You have to pull out all the stops to research them extensively. The distinction between linguistics and media linguistics turns out to be counterproductive. But this does not only apply to the case of linguistic landscapes. It also stands for any comprehensive investigation of language and language use. (Exceptions may be very narrow questions for specific purposes.) The above thoughts are supported by a database of the project „Metropolenzeichen“ with more than 25.000 systematically collected, geocoded and tagged photographs.
