Australia is attempting to pursue some of the same issues as the DCC through the Australian Partnership for Sustainable Repositories (APSR), a project funded by the Systemic Infrastructure Initiative as part of the Commonwealth Government's "Backing Australia's Ability Program". This workshop at the Australian National University brought contributors from across Australia to discuss the issues and formulate plans. Chris Rusbridge gave a presentation on UK and DCC perspectives on sustainability.
In this public lecture Chris Rusbridge described the background to the establishment of the DCC, and discussed its activities and plans. This lecture was sponsored jointly by APSR and the National Library of Australia.
Guy McGarva, DCC Geospatial Advisor, gave a presentation at the British Cartographic Society, Map Curators Group, 'Wired for Maps' Training Course at the National Library of Scotland.
From mid-January to mid-July, the DCC was host to a visiting scholar, Associate Professor Zhenxin Wu, from the Library of Chinese Academy of Sciences (LCAS) [external] in Beijing. She gave a presentation, An Introduction to LCAS, to DCC colleagues in Edinburgh before she returned to China. The DCC staff are looking forward to a fruitful collaboration with her and LCAS in the future.
