Dates: May 1-3, 2019 Location: Upham Hotel     This third and final specialist meeting on the topic of spatial discovery marks the culmination of prototyping efforts to make research data discoverable on diverse platforms and in a variety of environments. This meeting will expand discussions from the prior meeting held in May 2017, with the substantial new turn toward GIS-enabled search in topic spaces. Exciting recent developments at UCSB include experimentation with the expansion of spatial search in ArcGIS Online to topic spaces and the strengthening of research data curation efforts on campus through an NSF-supported pilot project. In addition to sharing research and development results from UCSB, this meeting seeks to bring together librarians with GIS and information retrieval experts to discuss future prospects for enabling spatial discovery in a university library setting.    For more information, please contact Karen Doehner...

Discovery III, the third and final specialist meeting on the topic of spatial discovery, marks the culmination of research and prototyping efforts to make research data discoverable by location. The meeting will expand discussions from the prior meeting held in May 2017, with the substantial new turn toward discovery in topic spaces. Recent developments at UCSB include experimentation with the expansion of visualization in ArcGIS Online to topic spaces and the propelling of research data curation efforts on campus through an NSF-supported pilot project. In addition to sharing and discussing research and development, the meeting seeks to discuss future prospects for enabling spatial discovery in a university library setting. Building on the productive disciplinary mixes of the 2015 and 2017 meetings,  librarians will again meet with GIS and information retrieval experts. For more information, please contact Karen Doehner...
