Curating Research: problems and policy Dale Peters Scientific Technical Manager DRIVER II
Outline • Background • Policy issues • Overview of international projects • Enhanced publications
Background • DRIVER II (WP4) • Enhance DRIVER infrastructure with connection to LTP facilities • Complex object model • Demonstrator enhanced publications • Europeana Travel (WP1) • LIBER member libraries • Establish current position in preservation policy and practice • Investigate plans for the next year • PARSE.Insight
Update on international projects • File format services • Persistent identifiers • Archival concepts / repository models • Metadata • Preservation strategies • Organisational aspects • Scientific data and digital research infrastructures
Archival Concepts & Repository Models • OAIS Reference model • SHAMAN • CASPAR http://shaman-ip.eu http://www.casparpreserves.eu/
Metadata - PREMIS • Data model • Relationships generalized to exhibit bi-directionality • Rights Entity: • The semantic units for the rights entity have been revised and expanded. • Significant Properties and Preservation Level • more detailed description • Extensibility: • A formal mechanism for extensions of seven semantic units has been introduced. METS
Metadata - INSPECT • Structural identification of significant properties • content • context • structure • appearance • behaviour • Framework • Methodology • Analysis of file types
Preservation Strategies • planets • Preservation and Long-term Access through NETworked Services • Plato • automated decision tool defines: • organisational requirements • collection profiles • evaluation and recommendations http://www.planets-project.eu
KEEP : Keeping Emulation Environments Portable • Emulation access platform • Data transfer • Software archive
Organisational Aspects • Framework of cost estimates (Beagrie et.al, 2008) • LIFE2 • DANS • Alliance for Permanent Access
Scientific data and digital research infrastructures • Data resources • E-Science verification
DRIVER LTP Objectives • Update of LTP developments • Guide to European Repositories (Weenink et al., 2008) • Examine the requirements of a connection between IR's and long-term archiving facilities • A demonstrator for a LTP-connector • Definition of an exemplary agreement between an IR and a long-term archiving facility
Enhanced publication An enhanced publication is a compound digital object that may consist of various heterogeneous but related web resources. Each of these web resources is an atomic entity in itself and can be used on its own, and can be referred to uniquely. The enhanced publication consists of the complete set of these atomic entities.
Conclusions • Policy issues • Response to technological challenges • Third party preservation services • Plans for the future
