The aim of this event is to help us learn more about the e-Science perspective on data curation, as well as to give e-Science practitioners an opportunity to influence both the ongoing and future work of the DCC. With an emphasis on data sharing, this workshop - which is by invitation only - will focus on real examples of data curation challenges and solutions from within the e-Science community, and consist of presentations, demonstrations and discussion.
Evidence-based evaluation has been used successfully for many years to establish trust in traditional repositories such as museums and archives. It is, however, a mistake to assume that the trust earned by a repository that successfully manages and preserves analogue material can be transferred to their digital holdings. Such cavalier assumptions pose a substantial threat to the long-term accessibility and reusability of our collective memory and scholarship. Recent international activity has championed the need for evidence-based evaluation of digital repositories.
In conjunction with Digital Preservation Europe (DPE), Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research (DRIVER), and Network of Expertise in Long-Term Storage of Digital Resources (nestor), we delivered a joint workshop on the long-term curation of scientific and scholarly digital repository content. This event was organised as a follow-up to our DCC Workshop on Long-term Curation Within Digital Repositories on 6 July 2005.
This one-day workshop provided a useful overview of legal considerations for non-legal professionals who work with data. The day comprised talks by experts in the areas of intellectual property rights and licensing; data protection, freedom of information and privacy; and data as evidence.
This is the fourth in a series of workshops held jointly by the DCC and a regional e-Science centre (the Imperial College Internet Centre in this case) for the exchange of practitioner experience and sharing advice on data curation.
