distributed digital preservation networks based on the LOCKSS software.
On the first day of the workshop, we will present key strategies for
establishing a secure LOCKSS-based digital archive to teams of
administrators and system administrators. The second and third days
will train system administrators to implement a network and/or an
individual node.

OVERVIEW:
Day One
(for teams of administrators and system administrators)
The first day of the workshop will help attendees to develop and
strengthen their plans for distributed digital preservation.
Presentations and discussions will address the organizational, legal,
technical, and financial elements of digital preservation. Workshop
instructors will share with attendees the policies and procedures
utilized in MetaArchive, including its metadata conspectus tool, its
Cooperative Charter document, and its Deposit Agreement template.
During the day, workshop attendees will work with instructors to
develop digital preservation plans that suit their specific
implementation contexts.

* Network context
* Digital content selection processes
* Metadata capture
* Intellectual property issues
* Content migration
* Organizing a network (models)
* Partnership management tools
Days Two and Three
(for system administrators)
The second and third days of the workshop are designed for system
administrators. Workshop instructors will address the technical
implementation of a distributed digital preservation network.
Attendees will learn how to produce and manage private LOCKSS networks.
Topics to be covered include:
* LOCKSS installation
* Plug-in creation
* Content preparation
* Metadata management
* Monitoring the cache
* Recovering a node
HOSTS: The MetaArchive Cooperative is an independent, multi-state
membership association whose purpose is to support, promote, and
extend the MetaArchive approach to distributed digital preservation
practices. (<http://www.metaarchive.org>http://www.metaarchive.org).
This approach relies upon a distributed preservation network
infrastructure that is based on the LOCKSS software
(<http://www.lockss.org>http://www.lockss.org). The MetaArchive
Cooperative began as a collaborative venture of Emory University,
Auburn University, Florida State University, Georgia Institute of
Technology, University of Louisville, Virginia Polytechnic Institute
and State University, and the Library of Congress. The initiative
began in 2004 as part of the National Digital Information
Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) supported by the
Library of Congress. The MetaArchive Cooperative is responsible for
maintaining and extending its methodology and approach to distributed
digital preservation, as well as the specific MetaArchive networks
that it hosts (e.g., the MetaArchive of Southern Digital Culture).
