This paper describes an ontological framework for game description. Games are a multi-billion dollar industry and are cultural heritage objects studied by a growing number of scholars. The conceptual model described here supports the description of both individual games and relationships among games, their versions and variants for more effective discovery, more reliable provenance, and detailed scoping of copyright, patent, and trademark claims.

This tutorial is a thorough and deep introduction to the DL field, providing a firm foundation: covering key concepts and terminology, as well as services, systems, technologies, methods, standards, projects, issues, and practices. It introduces and builds upon a firm theoretical foundation (starting with the '5S' set of intuitive aspects: Streams, Structures, Spaces, Scenarios, Societies), giving careful definitions and explanations of all the key parts of a 'minimal digital library', and expanding from that basis to cover key DL issues. Illustrations come from a set of case studies. Attendees will be exposed to four Morgan & Claypool books that elaborate on 5S, 2012-2014. Complementing the coverage of '5S' will be an overview of key aspects of the DELOS Reference Model and DL.org activities. Further, use of a Hadoop cluster supporting DLs will be described.

In 2011, Google launched the Google Art Project, an ever-growing repository of artworks from Museums around the globe, quickly followed by the expanded Google Cultural Institute. Efforts like these with the cultural sector use a combination of Google technologies and expert information provided by partner institutions to create unique online experiences. Spurred on by our partners, we've been adding features to our platform - content hosting, embeddable image viewers, exhibit creation tools - and making Google technology work for Museums - high-resolution imaging, mobile publishing, and experiments in VR. Building these projects requires a deep understanding of library, archival, and museum practices and standards as well as providing tools that can be used by a wide array of partners at different stages of cataloging and digitization. So, how are we doing? We'll discuss reactions to the work so far, present some of our latest attempts to do more with cultural heritage online, and talk about how Google would like to further engage with cultural partners.

We address the tasks of recovering bibliographic and document structure metadata from scholarly documents. We leverage higher order semi-Markov conditional random fields to model long-distance label sequences, improving upon the performance of the linear-chain conditional random field model. We introduce the notion of extensible features, which allows the expensive inference process to be simplified through memoization, resulting in lower computational complexity. Our method significantly betters the state-of-the-art on three related scholarly document extraction tasks.

As public libraries become increasingly digitalized they become producers of Big Data. Furthermore, public libraries are often obliged to make their data openly available as part of national open data policies, which have gained momentum in many countries including USA, UK, and Denmark. However, in order to utilize such data and make it intelligible for citizens, decision makers, or other stakeholders, raw data APIs are insufficient. Therefore, we have developed PivotViz that is a comprehensible visualization technique, which combines parallel coordinates and pivot tables. It provides, a multidimensional visual interactive pivot table for analysis of library transactions -- loans, renewals, and returns of books and other materials across location and time. The paper presents the PivotViz technique and discusses its prospects based on implementations in two publicly available versions using open data from the two largest municipalities in Denmark. Examples of analysis results from these data illustrate the power of PivotViz.

We describe a web archiving application that handles server errors using the most recently archived representation of the requested web resource. The application is developed as an Apache module. It leverages the transactional web archiving tool SiteStory, which archives all previously accessed representations of web resources originating from a website. This application helps to improve the website's quality of service by temporarily masking server errors from the end user and gaining precious time for the system administrator to debug and recover from server failures. By providing pertinent support to website operations, we aim to reduce the resistance to transactional web archiving, which in turn may lead to a better coverage of web history.

We describe the mobile app emph{Mobile Mink} which extends Mink, a browser extension that integrates the live and archived web. Mobile Mink discovers mobile and desktop URIs and provides the user an aggregated TimeMap of both mobile and desktop mementos. Mobile Mink also allows users to submit mobile and desktop URIs for archiving at the Internet Archive and Archive.today. Mobile Mink helps to increase the archival coverage of the growing mobile web.

In this half-day tutorial, we will show 1) how the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) Data Capsule can be used for non-consumptive research over collection of texts and 2) how integrated tools for LDA topic modeling and visualization can be used to drive formulation of new research questions. Participants will be given an account in the HTRC Data Capsule and taught how to use the workset manager to create a corpus, and then use the VM's secure mode to download texts and analyze their contents.
