The University of Queensland is committed to growing the opportunities for Indigenous people to lead and conduct their own research. One important strand in developing this innovative research culture is ensuring that appropriate governance is in place for Indigenous data.
This event will present a panel of Indigenous researchers, data custodians and data stewards discussing current developments in this field including:
Panellists: Rose Barrowcliffe, Robert McLellan, Lesley Acres. The discussion will be facilitated by Grant Sarra.
When: 4–6pm, 30 September 2024
Where: Anthropology Museum, Michie Building, The University of Queensland (St Lucia Campus)
The Language Data Commons of Australia infrastructure is based on widely-accepted standards such as Research Object Crates and the Oxford Common File Layout. The project has been running for more than three years and the processes and tools for aligning data with these standards are now well-developed. This workshop aims to show the application of those tools to data in a variety of formats to efficiently migrate material to the LDaCA standards.
The hands-on workshop is intended for data librarians and other professionals who are interested in these issues, but participation is open to anyone who is prepared to work on language data. Participants will have some experience of working with code and/or metadata and will commit to bringing datasets which they work with (or are responsible for) to use in the practical exercises which will make up a large part of the workshop. We will also have example datasets available and we also are open to the possibility of participants working in teams based on complementary skills.
Leader: Peter Sefton
When: 3 - 5 September 2024
Where: Engma Room (Room 3.165), Coombs Building, Australian National University

If your university or organisation would like to host a workshop, please contact us.
Our webinar series was a joint initiative with the Language Technology and Data Analysis Laboratory (LADAL) at the School of Languages and Cultures, The University of Queensland.
LDaCA has previously run regular online office hours, jointly hosted with the Australian Digital Observatory (ADO). This activity will not continue in 2024, but LDaCA and ADO are developing an alternative model to help Australian researchers working with linguistics, text analytics, digital and computational methods, social media and web archives.
In the meantime, you are welcome to contact us by email at ldaca@uq.edu.au with your technical questions, research problems and rough ideas to get advice and feedback from the combined expertise of our ARDC research infrastructure projects. No question is too small, and even if we don’t know the answer we are likely to be able to point you to someone who does.
