The aim of this session was to discuss what needs to happen if we wish to pursue a joint 2CUL Mellon grant to support our respective Linked Data for Production (LD4P) projects. This grant request would constitute a companion proposal to the larger grant Stanford is seeking to create and support a cloud space for a suite of LD4P initiatives using LC's BIBFRAME model. The idea for a 2CUL proposal arose from a two-day meeting on LD4P, held at the Library of Congress on March 19-20. Representatives from Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia (Bob, Kate, and Melanie), and Cornell (Jason, Naun, and Jim) attended that meeting.
...
- In addition to sharing grant management tasks, and possibly collaborating on technical components, what other benefits do we expect to derive from working together on LD4P?
- What are the explicit goals for our respective projects within and beyond the scope of the proposed grant?
- How will we articulate our interest in evaluating user response to our project data in the context of the grant?
Pending further local discussion, Bob speculates that Columbia is likely to request a smaller share of any 2CUL LD4P grant request we put together. In that case, it might make more sense for Cornell to submit the proposal rather than Columbia.
Xin will ask Michelle and Nini to schedule a follow-up meeting for the four of us on Monday to review conclusions from the separate Columbia and Cornell meetings taking place later this week.
