Practices and Challenges in Preservation and Access for
Scientific and
Scholarly Digital Repositories
DCC/DPE/DRIVER/Nestor Joint Workshop
27-28 November 2007
Campus Adlershof, Humboldt University
Berlin
http://www.w
epreserve.eu/events/dr-2007/
The Digital Curation Centre (DCC), Digital Preservation
Europe (DPE),
Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European
Research (DRIVER),
and Network of Expertise in Long-Term Storage of Digital
Resources
(nestor) are delighted to announce that they will be
delivering a joint
workshop on the long-term curation of scientific and
scholarly digital
repository content. This event will be held over one and a
half days at
the Campus Adlershof, Humboldt University in Berlin on 27-28
November
2007. This event is being organised as a follow-up to the
2005 DCC
workshop on long-term curation within digital repositories
which was held
in Cambridge, UK. For more information on this event, please
see
http://www.dcc.
ac.uk/events/dr-2005/.
Scientific and scholarly content such as articles and data
are
increasingly deposited in institutional and subject-based
repositories.
These developments pose practical, conceptual and
organisational
challenges for accessing these contents now and in a
future-proof manner.
The long-term survival, value and usability of the
information stored
within digital repositories depends on numerous criteria
such as the
formats selected for storage, the capture of associated
metadata,
proactive preservation measures, and the perceived trust in
the repository
itself. This workshop will highlight current practices and
shall provide
insights into current initiatives and technical systems
being developed.
Benefits of Attendance
The workshop will be of interest to anyone who deposits to,
manages,
and/or accesses and re-uses digital scientific and scholarly
content
stored within repositories. Much of the content will also be
of interest
to anyone involved in the curation of data with the aim of
long-term
access and re-use.
Format
The workshop will be delivered over six sessions and will
cover the
following areas:
•Technical Infrastructure and Social Support Frameworks
•Selection, Appraisal, Ingest and Description
•Operational Activity within the Repository
•Preservation Activity within the Repository
•Discovery and Access
•Quality Control, Self-audit and Certification
Key themes include:
•Tools to help select, appraise and ingest information into
digital
repositories
•Description techniques that may help to ensure the
long-term usability of
digital information including the automation of metadata
capture
•Overview of preservation activities being undertaken
internationally and
also practical applications of preservation processes
•Making certification of repositories meaningful and
effective
