EGI CF 2014, Workshop: E-infrastructure and services for data preservation and curation
Helsinki, Finland
20 May 2014 - DCH-RP dissemination events
The workshop “E-infrastructure and services for data preservation and curation” will be held on 20th May in Helsinki within the EGI Community Forum 2014.
Over recent years, e-Infrastructures and DCH communities have established a dialogue and now several data-infrastructure projects exist, whose results can be adapted and re-used in the DCH domain. In particular, fruitful cooperation has started among these projects to test the services and tools developed to facilitate the storage, access and preservation of digital data and to provide feedback for the further improvement of such services.
The purposes of this workshop are:
- To present the common registry of services and tools which is being developed jointly by DCH-RP & APARSEN and to discuss how to sustain it after the end of the project. The registry will contain descriptions of common user scenarios as well as information about the tools that may be used to implement them. In addition it will support searching the tools database using several criteria and it will also provide assessments and reviews of the most relevant tools. The aim of the registry is to help a broad range of DCH communities, institutions and projects to plan implementation of their digital preservation processes and to understand commonly available options by offering them integrated information from both projects.
- To present the first results of the Proofs of Concept that have been conducted within DCH-RP, where e-infrastructure providers and cultural institution work together to test services and e-infrastructures to store and manage cultural digital resources.
- To present the interim version of the roadmap for the long-term preservation of digital cultural content, which aims to help policy makers and programme owners to plan ahead and assist managerial teams of cultural institutions in taking decisions related to digital preservation and to support cultural heritage institutions in defining practical action plans with realistic timeframes for their implementation.
- To attract new projects and initiatives working in the domain of DCH, e-infrastructures and digital preservation to find synergies and discuss opportunities for cooperation, starting from concrete use cases.
