Easy On Fedora Experiences with eSciDoc
Table of Contents • Introduction to EOF • eSciDoc • EOF Data Model • Questions
E A S YElectronic Archival SYstem • A web application to assists self-archival of scientists in the Humanities and Arts • Incoming datasets are checked by DANS Archivists • Either Open Access or Restricted Access • Taking in any kind of data and promising its preservation • DANS is involved in many projects which produce huge amounts of data that should be archived in Easy
Goals of EASY 1. to make it as easy as possible for researchers to deposit and share data 2. to make it as easy as possible for archivists to manage archived data 3. to be able to make sure that all data will be available andusable for an indefinite period of time
