  1. Addressing the Challenge to Engage multi-disciplinary Development of Data Curation Prof Seamus Ross Director, HATII (University of Glasgow), and Associate Director of the Digital Curation Centre (UK) Principal Director, DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE)

  2. The Issue How do we engage multi-disciplinary communities and advance curatorial best practice.

  3. What do we know -- ERPANET • Perceptions of risk: risk awareness varied markedly • Value of information depends upon recognition of business/organisational dependency, potential of re-use, or risk associated with information (not necessarily cost) • Researchers and Organisations waiting for external solutions • Preservation/curation processes poorly understood • Lack of policies and procedures and their take-up

  4. What should we do? • Agree a definition of curation • Describe its processes – see DCC Poster • Remember that not all organisations are large ones many are small • Agree the research agenda • DPE reviewed all preservation research agendas since 1989 -- the scope is getting broader and broader • Funders need to adopt the research agenda. • Improve Educational Opportunities

  5. What do we need? • Experimentation • Experimental corpora • Testbeds • Appraisal • Better knowledge about processes and purpose of appraisal • Collaborative Registries • Representation information registries • Software registries • Hardware registries

  6. Automation: Collection Building & Management • Human effort does not scale to the size and complexity of material • Workflow characterisation • Preservation process selection (e.g. utility analysis) • Acquisition of content • Organisation of content • Description • Management • Collection personalisation • Scalability

  7. Can we coordinate? • Coordination of Repository Activities • Inventory of repository activities and federation support • Facilitate the collection of repository experiences • Repository Deployment and Planning Tool • Audit and Certification Services • Self-Audit and Assessment Tools • International Certification Scheme • International Accreditation Scheme • Research and Practitioner Integration • Pilot Research and Industrial Exchange Programme • Creation of a Research Database

  8. Collaboration and Co-ordination

  9. Competition
