Workshops

Workshop 1 (Half Day am)

A postcard from the future: tools and services from a perfect DMP world - FULLY BOOKED  - Registration closed. Sorry!

09:00-12:30 hrs, Wofson Hall A

Free of charge, but by invite. Please contact us if you'd like to attend

Organisers: Sarah Jones, Digital Curation Centre and Stephanie Simms, UC3

Data Management Plans (DMPs) are becoming commonplace across the globe, but opportunities are being missed to make the best use of the data and truly support researchers’ practices. What are DMPs being created for? And how can we improve the experience for all involved? This workshop will address ideas for making DMPs machine-actionable and integrating them with other tools and services to embed the DMP in existing workflows. Brainstorming and discussion sessions will give participants an opportunity to help shape the future of DMP services.

Workshop 3 (Half Day am)

Technical Appraisal of Complex Digital Objects in Evolving Environments - FULLY BOOKED  - Registration closed. Sorry!

09:00-12:30 hrs, GB Ong Room

Free of charge

Organisers: Simon Waddington, Jun Zhang & Christine Sauter - King's College, London & Johannes Biermann - Göttingen State and University Library

PERICLES (Promoting and Enhancing Reuse of Information throughout the Content Lifecycle taking account of Evolving Semantics) is a 4-year EU-funded FP7 project on digital preservation. The project has focused on case studies in the areas of digital media and art and space science. In each of these domains, in order to support long-term reuse, there is a requirement not just to preserve data files, but also the surrounding environment including software, documentation and associated hardware requirements. Such sets of objects and dependencies are termed complex digital objects.
This workshop will introduce a suite of tools developed during the PERICLES project in support of the on going management and mitigation of risks to the long-term reuse of digital objects.

Workshop 4 (Half Day pm)

How EUDAT Services could support FAIR data - FULLY BOOKED  - Registration closed. Sorry!

14:00-17:30 hrs, Wolfson Hall A

Free of charge

Organisers: Marjan Grootveld, Data Archiving & Networked Services/ DANS; Yann le Franc, e-Science Data Factory;
Sarah Jones, Digital Curation Centre. Organised on behalf of the EUDAT project.

The FAIR data principles draw much attention but how to implement them in research workflows is far from obvious. In this workshop we relate the FAIR principles to EUDAT’s Service Suite. You will experiment with community metadata and with an annotation tool for curating and retrieving data. Community representatives will talk about their experiences with integrating EUDAT services into their workflow.
