Harvesting

ShareGeo Open

ShareGeo Open is a data repository for Open data. There are lots of useful spatial datasets that have been deposited by users for others to download and re-use. This create – share – reuse philosophy is central to ShareGeo Open. All the data in the repository is open and can be re-used freely making it ideal for students, researchers and teaching staff to find data. In addition to the just downloading data, users can upload data to the repository.  URL: www.sharegeo.ac.uk

WebCite

WebCite® is a project initiated by the Centre for Global eHealth Innovation at the University of Toronto intended to digitally archive web material (web pages, PDF documents, and so on) which are cited in scholarly articles. The idea of WebCite is that authors of scholarly papers (as well as editors and publishers of scholarly work) are increasingly citing digital material which is in the public domain on the web, yet which is at risk to disappear, i.e.

PARADIGM Online Workbook

Between 2005 and 2007, the Paradigm project of the Bodleian Library and John Rylands University Library explored the issues involved in the long-term preservation of born-digital private papers in the context of hybrid archives - those that are composed of traditional and born-digital formats. The project accessioned sample archives from contemporary UK politicians and used these to gain practical experience of combining archival and digital curation worflows, standards, tools and technologies. An Online Workbook was created during the project and a print edition has recently been produced.

Web Curator Tool

The Web Curator Tool (WCT) is a tool for managing the selective web harvesting process. It is designed for use in libraries and other collecting organisations, and supports collection by non-technical users while still allowing complete control of the web harvesting process. The WCT Project is a collaborative effort by the National Library of New Zealand and the British Library, initiated by the International Internet Preservation Consortium.

RODA (Repositório de Objectos Digitais Autênticos)

The National Archive Institute of Portugal (IAN/TT) doesn't currently have the needed infrastructures to support the processes of ingestion and management of digital objects produced by the public administration (PA). The initiatives of the eGovernment establish the need to support its activity in information and communication technologies to improve the efficiency, productivity and quality of their public services. In this scenario it is clear that the number of digital objects produced by these institutions will grow, and that their legal value and authenticity should be assured.
