noticings is a flickr based game to get people uploading and tagging photos in flickr.

Noticings are interesting things that you stumble across when out and about. For example: perplexing pavement markings, a discarded photo, and a ceramic space invader are all noticings.

Players are awarded points for things like spotting the first thing in a neighbourhood, or noticing something every day for a week.

You play Noticings by uploading your photos to Flickr, tagged with ‘noticings’ and geotaggedwith where they were taken. We’ve got a page with the rules and some instructions to help you out.

They offer an iPhone app to upload and to tag your images directly from your iPhone.

The 3rd International Provenance and Annotation Workshop (IPAW’2010)
Troy NY, USA, June 15-16, 2010

Interest in and needs for provenance are growing as data proliferates. Data is increasing in a wide array of application areas, including scientific workflow systems, logical reasoning systems, text extraction, social media, and linked data. As data increases and as applications become more hybrid and distributed in nature, there is increasing interest in where data came from and how it was produced in order to understand when and how to rely on it.

== Topics ==

This workshop builds on a successful line of provenance and annotation workshops (http://www.ipaw.info/). It aims to bring together a broad range of provenance researchers and users in order to discuss progress in and open research problems related to provenance and annotation. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Provenance models
* Architectures and data management techniques for provenance data
* Provenance requirements and use cases
* Provenance-aware reasoning
* Provenance-aware Semantic Web applications and technologies
* Presentation techniques and tools for provenance data
* Security and privacy issues for provenance data
* Provenance integration and interoperability
* Provenance for social media
* Provenance for linked data
* Query languages and query processing techniques for provenance data
* Storage and query interfaces for workflow provenance
* Provenance analysis, mining and visualization
* Provenance systems, functionality, protocols, implementation
* Provenance, business processes and compliance
* Provenance prototypes and commercial solutions
* Provenance in scientific publications
* Provenance and its relationship to annotation and metadata
* Provenance for digital libraries

== Important Dates ==

* Abstract deadline: March 8, 2010
* Submission deadline (papers, demos & posters): March 15, 2010
* Notification to authors: April 22, 2010
* Camera-ready deadline: June 1, 2010
