Representation Information Repository
This DCC tool records the representation information (e.g. file format structural information as well as semantic metadata) necessary to be able to interpret an archived digital object, and in turn assists users to populate relevant technical preservation metadata fields for digital objects being preserved. Representation information is a term from the OAIS Reference Model, ISO 14721.
Functionality:
Tool to create technical preservation metadata.
Level of Expertise:
Knowledge of metadata creation and OAIS model.

I2S2 project
I2S2 project
The aim of the Infrastructure for Integration in Structural Sciences (I2S2) project was to uncover what’s needed to implement a data-driven research infrastructure in the structural sciences – chemistry in particular. Issues of scale, complexity and inter-disciplinary research throughout the data lifecycle were explored over 18 months from October 2009 to March 2011.
