Session at Science Foo Camp on personal digital identity for scientists
My colleague up in Manchester Duncan Hull (who goes by the splendid alias 'dullhunk') reports on his blog that he recently attended the annual Science Foo Camp at the Googleplex in California. Of particular note is the following:
..In the afternoon, I ran a session on The Invisible Scientist: Personal Digital Identity on the Web, Problems and Solutions. After a short set of introductory slides we discussed some solutions to identifying scientists digital contributions, not just electronic journal publications but wiki edits, blog posts, software development, ontology and database curation etc...
Sounds like great fun and would have been super-cool to be there (alas, SciFoo is invite-only). I sincerely hope Duncan will report more later on these discussions, I'll be sure to highlight his post here if he does. In the meantime, have a look at his excellent slides on slideshare.net.
