<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">Call for Proposals for Open Repositories 2016: Illuminating the World<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">The Eleventh International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2016, will be held on June 13th-16th, 2016in Dublin, Ireland. The organizers are pleased to issue this call for contributions to the program.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">As previous Open Repositories have demonstrated, the use of digital repositories to manage research, scholarly and cultural information is well established and increasingly mature. Entering our second decade, we have
an opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been and, more importantly, where we’re heading. New development continues apace, and we’ve reached the time when many organizations are exploring expansive connections with larger processes both inside and outside
traditional boundaries. Open Repositories 2016 will explore how our rich collections and infrastructure are now an inherent part of contemporary scholarship and research and how they have expanded to touch many aspects of our academic and cultural enterprises.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">The theme of OR2016 is “Illuminating the World.” OR2016 will provide an opportunity to explore the ways in which repositories and related infrastructure and processes:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">* bring different disciplines, collections, and people to light;<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">We welcome proposals on these ideas, but also on the theoretical, practical, technical, organizational or administrative topics related to digital repositories. Submissions that demonstrate original and repository-related
work outside of these themes will be considered, but preference will be given to submissions which address them. We are particularly interested in the following themes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">SUBMISSION PROCESS<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">Conference Papers and Panels<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">We expect that proposals for papers or panels will be two to four-pages (see below for optional Proposal Templates). Abstracts of accepted papers and panels will be made available through the conference's web site,
and later they and associated materials will be made available in an open repository. In general, sessions will have three papers; panels may take an entire session or may be combined with a paper. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will be considered
for inclusion, as appropriate, as an Interest Group presentation, poster or 24/7.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">Interest Group Presentations<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">The opportunity to engage with and learn more about the work of relevant communities of interest is a key element of Open Repositories. One to two page proposals are invited for presentations or panels that focus
on the work of such communities, traditionally DSpace, EPrints, Fedora, and Invenio, describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories involving issues specific to these technical platforms. Further information about
applications for additional Interest Groups and guidance on submissions will be forthcoming.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">24x7 Presentations<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">24x7 presentations are 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Proposals for 24x7 presentations should be one to two-pages. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24x7 presentations will
be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated discussion / question and answer session involving the audience and whole block of presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of
like work across many institutions, and presenters the chance to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional poster.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">"Repository RANTS" 24x7 Block<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">One block of 24x7's will revolve around "repository rants": brief exposés that challenge the conventional wisdom or practice, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is misguided, or perhaps just
missing altogether. The top proposals will be incorporated into a track meant to provoke unconventional approaches to repository services.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">"Repository RAVES" 24x7 Block<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">One block of 24x7's at OR2016 will revolve around "repository raves": brief exposés that celebrate particular practice and processes, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is right. The top proposals
will be incorporated into a track meant to celebrate successful approaches to repository services.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">Posters<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">We invite one-page proposals for posters that showcase current work. Attendees will view and discuss your work during the poster reception.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">2016 Developer Track: Top Tips, Cunning Code and Illuminating Insights<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services. OR2016 will feature a Developer Track and Ideas Challenge that
will provide a focus for showcasing work and exchanging ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">Building on the success of last year's Developer Track, where we encouraged live hacking and audience participation, we invite members of the technical community to share the features, systems, tools and best practices
that are important to you. Presentations can be as informal as you like, but once again we encourage live demonstrations, tours of code repositories, examples of cool features and the unique viewpoints that so many members of our community possess. Submissions
should take the form of a title and a brief outline of what will be shared with the community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">Further details and guidance on the Ideas Challenge will be forthcoming.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">Developers are also encouraged to contribute to the other tracks as papers, posters, 24x7 presentations, repository raves and rants 24x7 blocks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="NO-BOK">OR2016 will again run a Scholarship Programme which will enable us to provide support for a small number of full registered places (including the poster reception and banquet) for the conference in Dublin. The programme
is open to librarians, repository managers, developers and researchers in digital libraries and related fields. Applicants submitting a paper for the conference will be given priority consideration for funding. Please note that the programme does not cover
costs such as accommodation, travel and subsistence. It is anticipated that the applicant’s home institution will provide financial support to supplement the OR Scholarship Award. Full details and an application form will shortly be available on the conference
website.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
