Busy Day

So, it was a busy day at the conference today.  Following the Leaders Panel, I attended a presentation on Group Management at Duke University (Klara Jelinkova), followed by a JA-SIG CAS Overview (Adam Rybicki).  Note to self: we really need to implement some form of CAS at our institution.

Following lunch, I attended a session entitled "How We Integrated Fedora into Ruby on Rails" (Matt Zumwalt), then took in an interesting presentation on Upgrading uPortal at Johns Hopkins University (Drew Wills and Chris Doyle), and closing the day in a session on SOA and the Swedish Ladok Student system.

All of the sessions were very interesting today, and many of them brought to mind a number of considerations for my institution.

This evening, I attended a poster session and quite enjoyed myself and especially enjoyed the chance to hear about a number of topics from the subject matter experts themselves.

My new word of the day: triplestore.  Never heard that term before today.  Now I've got some googling to do.
