[Holly Miller]

Today's Informal Lunch Talk will be:

When: Today Noon, Monday, May 16, 2011
Where: 104/105 Candle House on the MBL Campus (map)
Who: Andrew Maffei, WHOI
Title: Uses of the Drupal CMS Collaborative Framework in the Woods Hole Scientific Community

Summary:

This talk is a survey on the use of the Drupal Content Management System (CMS) in a number of different science projects in the Woods Hole science community.  It is intended that snapshots of local websites, a discussion of use-cases they are intended for, and technology choices made in their design, will help the audience to get a feel for the amount of value it would have in their own projects. The final segment of the talk focuses on the emergence of semantic technologies in Drupal and an example strategy for database interoperability.

About the speaker:

Andrew Maffei is a Senior Information Systems Specialist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. After playing roles of scientific programmer, system administrator, pc/mac team lead, and network manager over the past 25+ years at WHOI he finds himself migrating from the realms of computer and network interoperability into the realm of data interoperability. His  primary focus at WHOI is to try to think strategically and act prudently to help ocean scientists make best use of old and new data/metadata through improved data stewardship, careful governance, a sharp & continuous focus on intended use-cases, among other things.

This information is also on the wiki page.

See you there!
