Pacific Neighborhood/Electronic Cultural Atlas
Meeting, Be
This is quite a special meeting that I've been fortunate to
attend a few times over the years, and I'm honored to be doing one of
the keynotes this year. ECAI has a long history of groundbreaking,
intellectually challenging and important work, and I'm sure a good
deal of it will be featured here.

Submission Deadline: July 31, 2012
Invitation to Participate
It's our pleasure to announce that the 2012 PNC Annual Conference
and Joint meetings will be held in Berkeley from December 7th to
9th. The conference is being hosted by ECAI (Electronic
Cultural Atlas Initiative) and the School of Information at UC
Berkeley with the collaboration of the UC Berkeley East Asian
Library.
Since ECAI is the primary host of the meeting this year we will be
integrating ECAI participation into the entire conference.
The conference theme is "New Horizons: Information Technology
connecting Culture, Community, Time, and Place".
Looking to the future, supporting collaboration and shared knowledge,
this year's conference will encourage participants to explore
several streams of interest and discover relationships between
them.
The proposed streams include:
Collaboration - Building a
Collaborative Research Universe - collaboration tools and knowledge
integration
Community - Digital humanities
and social sciences in the interest of society
Virtual Cultural Information
Management - Visualization, Analysis, and Interaction - 3D
data, multimedia, and virtual museums
Digital Text - New horizons in
text integration, analysis, and visualization
Cultural Atlases - Integration,
Visualization and Complexity - regions, themes, and change
over time
Open Knowledge - Sharing
Cultural Heritage - Semantic Web, Linked Open Data, and related
technologies
Further information on the program and proposed
panels can be found on the ECAI website at: http://ecai.org/activities/PNC2012
Since its initiation in 1993, the annual PNC Conference has become a
key meeting for access to digital research on the Pacific Rim. It is a
forum for interaction between scholars, technicians, librarians,
museum professionals, educators and anyone working with cultural
materials and technology. Please join us at Berkeley in December
to learn the latest development in this fascinating field.
