[Dspace-general] Critical issues for preservation of datasets

[Renata Arovelius]

Dear Colleagues,

 

For your information: (please excuse cross-posting)

 

An international workshop on digital preservation of datasets will be held
at SLU in Uppsala/Sweden 

26-27 April 2006. Fourteen Swedish universities are involved and share costs
for a project on joint digital university archives. A pilot project has been
carried out at the SLU with a test of four different scientific datasets
within DSpace environment as a technical solution for archiving. We focused
on both "bit and functional" preservation, and implementation of OAIS (Open
Archival Information System Reference Model).

 

The workshop will touch upon the critical issues for preservation of
datasets, possibilities and scientists' needs to future access and reuse of
the material. One of the major aims is to provide an international forum to
exchange experience in digital preservation of datasets and get feed-back
for the initiative to establish a joint digital university archives.
Conference language is English.

 

The workshop is open to all interested in digital preservation.  For the
preliminary programme and registration details, please see:
