DCC Curation Lifecycle Model Workshop  This workshop aims to introduce professionals charged with planning preservation and curation activities on the use of a lifecycle methodology. Participants will learn how to use, and customise, the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model to help define and develop curation or preservation workflows and activities within their organisation or consortium. The workshop will also explain how the DCC envisages using the model to contextualise a range of DCC and external resources to reflect, as accurately as possible, actual working practice.

Data Audit Framework Workshop  This workshop aims to introduce participants to the Data Audit Framework (DAF) toolkit. If institutions are to realise the full potential value of their data through its reuse, they must be able to establish quickly and easily an overview of holdings and the policies and practices in place to manage them. Participants will learn how to use the DAF toolkit to identify, locate, describe and assess the management of their digital research assets. DAF combines a set of methods with an online tool to enable data auditors to gather this information. DAF aims to help ensure research data produced in UK Higher Education Institutions is preserved and remains accessible in the long term.

DCC Curation Tools Workshop This workshop will introduce the concept of digital curation and take participants through a demonstration of some of the curation tools that have been developed by the DCC. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss threats to digitally encoded information, illustrate the need for effective curation of data, introduce curation concepts, describe the curation process, demonstrate some of the curation tools, and outline the benefits of curation for researchers. |

Joint DCC and DPC Workshop: OAIS 5 Year Review — Follow Up A joint meeting of DCC Associates Network members and members of the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) was held on 13 October 2006 to prepare a joint report for the 5 year review of the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Standard. The resulting report, "OAIS Five-year review Recommendations for update", was submitted to the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS), Data Archiving and Ingest Working Group in October 2006. Comment on this report was received in September 2008. This follow-up workshop will provide an opportunity for the original contributors to review and contribute feedback to the CCSDS' response for inclusion in the revised draft of the full OAIS Reference Model. This is expected to be available in January 2009 with a period for further comment before submission to ISO for full review. This workshop is intended for original participants. Places are limited to 25, and will be by invitation only. |

DRAMBORA Interactive Workshop This workshop aims to introduce repository mangers and administrators to the Digital Repository Audit Method Based on Risk Assessment (DRAMBORA) Interactive toolkit and the concepts of risk assessment and risk management. Within DRAMBORA, digital curation is characterised as a risk-management activity; the job of digital curator is to rationalise the uncertainties and threats that inhibit efforts to maintain digital object authenticity and understandability, transforming them into manageable risks. The DRAMBORA toolkit has already been used by a wide range of organisations. Building on the experience learned from these initial audits, the DCC and DPE have developed an interactive online version of the toolkit. DRAMBORA Interactive facilitates internal self-audit by providing repository administrators with a means to assess their capabilities and identify their weaknesses. |

Repository Curation Service Environments (RECURSE) Workshop This workshop, jointly supported by OGF-Europe and DReSNET, aims to address the specific requirements for Digital Repository curation service environments. Digital repositories have evolved from institutional to trusted repositories for publications as well as primary data, shifting from a bespoke software tool towards a generic framework accommodating various contexts and requirements. As repositories become part and parcel of e-Science environments in all disciplines, individual repositories are converging both technologically and organisationally into federations of multiple repositories, often offering external services for tasks such as print-on-demand and preservation (e.g. PLANETS, PRESERV), and out-sourcing storage (e.g. Fedorazon). This RECURSE workshop will focus on highlighting application environments where both e-Science and repositories have much to gain, coupled with the benefits of open standards. Discussion points: benefits of digital curation for e-Science and user requirements; interoperability of technologies; workflow integration; views of long-term digital curation; benefits to user communities of the adoption of Distributed computing.
