Workshops

In a joint initiative with the JISC-funded eBank UK and SPECTRa projects, we delivered a workshop that: described the current "state-of-play" in digital curation best practice; used Chemistry as a discipline to illustrate a pro-active approach to data curation, where access, discovery, use, re-use and preservation of the data is fundamental to the advancement of the science; drew on the experience of other disciplines to illustrate user requirements, issues and barriers to implementation of curation methodologies; and identified priority areas for further work to promote data curation among

This unique three day residential course delivered a comprehensive overview of the practical challenges and solutions to effective repository implementation. Attendees had the opportunity to engage in scholarly debates on current repository theory and gain hands-on experience with repository software and tools. A range of interactive seminars, practical workshops, lectures and panel sessions were delivered by a range of expert practitioners drawing from projects such as DAEDALUS, TARDIS, SHERPA, Repository Bridge and the RSP.

This workshop brought together an interdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners who addressed archival issues associated with databases. All participants' presentations were hosted by the workshop site and a short report with the final conclusions of the workshop discussions will be published. PresDB was organised by a small executive committee. The one-day program comprised oral presentations and brainstorming sessions. Attendance was mainly by invitation from the executive committee.

This meeting, which included members of JISC, JORUM and the DCC, discussed issues regarding the long-term curation and preservation of digital learning objects.
