  1. Digital Curation Centre a centre of expertise in data curation and preservation Digital Curation Centre David Giaretta Associate Director (Development) for Chris Rusbridge (Director) Funders:

  2. DCC: Why? • DCC: What? • DCC: Where? • DCC: Who? • DCC: How and When? – Progress • How can we help – each other? Development

  3. Time for Digital Curation • problem of the moment • fragility of digital information recognised • data curation & data deluge in e-science/research • longevity of digital heritage & research investment • re-examining ‘Communication’ in ICT • Internet and GRID: communication across spacewith utmost accuracy • Digital Curation: communication across time, with utmost accuracy • ensure Content travels despite turbulence of IT • agree strategies & methods for digital preservation Development

  4. Unifying Themes for the DCC • ‘data as evidence’ • for understanding and decision • for one or more designated communities • ‘archival responsibility’ • at one or more institutional levels • institutional policies & individuals’ competence • legal compliance & agreement on procedures • turn ‘open access’ into ‘continuing access’ • turn costs into investment • valuing flow of benefit from re-usable assets Development

  5. DCC: Why? • DCC: What? • DCC: Where? • DCC: Who? • DCC: How and When? – Progress • How can we help – each other? Development

  6. Digital Curation • preservation and use/interoperability • preservation is interoperability with the future • bits and information • libraries and science data • digital information rendered for human reading and automated processing • may be transient distinction but… Development

  7. Aims & Objectives for the DCC ‘quality improvement in data curation & digital preservation’ initial focus: data as evidence for scholarly conclusions wider remit: scholarly communication & eLearning ‘excellence in research & excellence in service’ working with repositories, rather than being one ‘connecting communities’ via Associates Network universities & research institutes scientific data tradition & document tradition international & cross-sectoral Development

  9. Organisation to Engage & Collaborate curation organisations eg DPC communities of practice: users UKOLN Collaborative Associates Network of Data Organisations U of Edinburgh U of Glasgow U of Edinburgh research collaborators CCLRC testbeds& tools Industry standards bodies Development

  10. Organisation to Engage & Collaborate curation organisations eg DPC communities of practice: users community support & outreach Collaborative Associates Network of Data Organisations service definition & delivery management & admin support research collaborators research development co-ordination testbeds& tools Industry standards bodies Development

  11. DCC: Why? • DCC: What? • DCC: Where? • DCC: Who? • DCC: How and When? – Progress • How can we help – each other? Development

  12. Organisation to Succeed Phase One leadership over first eight months of funding Community Support & Outreach Led by Dr Liz Lyon (UKOLN, University of Bath) Service Definition & Delivery Led by Professor Seamus Ross (HATII [ERPANET], University of Glasgow) Development Led by Dr David Giaretta (Astronomical Software & Services, CCLRC) Research Led by Professor Peter Buneman (Informatics, University of Edinburgh) Management & Co-ordination Director Chris Rusbridge Peter Burnhill had been Phase One Director ‘Ex Portfolio’: Malcolm Atkinson (NeSC) Development

  14. DCC: Why? • DCC: What? • DCC: Where? • DCC: Who? • DCC: How and When? – Progress • How can we help – each other? Development

  15. Outreach • User interviews and focus groups • Internet Journal • Web presence (http://www.dcc.ac.uk) and Portal • DPC membership and collaboration • Associates Network • DCC Conference (Sept 29-30) • PV2005 Conference (Nov 21-23) Development

  16. Engage Communities of Practice with those who have responsibility … to invoke/provoke good practices appraisal & retention/disposal logical & physical integrity: authenticity/security place research in productive research domains eg Informatics, Law School, e-Science ... work on the ‘R&D’, create services of relevance achieve ‘virtuous circle’ turn products of research into tools for use Development

  17. Services • Advisory service and Help desk • Site visits and case studies • Curation Manual and Briefings • Tools and testbeds • Standards watch • Certification • Training Development

  18. Development • OAIS fundamentals • Registries/Repositories for Representation Information • offering a repository of tools and technical information, a focal point for digital curators • metadata standards • Testbeds • for testing and evaluating tools, methods, standards and policies in realistic settings • Certification • standards Development

  19. OAIS Reference Model – Functional Model Development

  20. Representation Net Development

  21. Layered Model from OAIS Development

  22. Knowledge Based Persistent Archive Process Infrastructure Process Ingest Services Management Access Services Relationships Between Concepts Knowledge Repository for Rules Knowledge or Topic-Based Query / Browse Knowledge XTM DTD • Rules - KQL (Topic Maps / Buckets / Model-based Access) Information Repository Attribute- based Query Attributes Semantics SDLIP Information XML DTD (Data Handling System - SRB / FTP / HTTP) Data Fields Containers Folders Storage (Replicas, Persistent IDs) Grids Feature-based Query MCAT/HDF Development

  23. Working with Others • Digital Library Federation • The National Archives • Global Grid Forum • NARA • Library of Congress • Research Library Group • Digital Preservation Coalition • JISC community • E-Science Community • Associates Network • …and many many more Development info – see http://dev.dcc.rl.ac.uk for details of Wiki and email list open to all Development

  24. Research • To draw together the various functions of curation, from the traditional archival functions to the maintenance and publication of evolving knowledge as seen in scientific databases. • To identify through direct research collaboration, and through interaction with the service arm of DCC, the key projects in which research is needed. • To conduct research in areas already identified by the partners as crucial to digital curation. • To institute two-way conduits between research and service in which practical issues can be drawn to the attention of researchers and the products of research can be tested in practice. Development

  25. Current research priorities • Data integration and publication • Performance and optimisation • Annotation • Appraisal and long-term preservation • Socio-economic and legal context: rights, responsibilities and viability • Cost-benefit analysis of the data curation process • Security: safe and effective data analysis environments • Automation of metadata extraction • Visitors Programme and Seminar Series Development

  26. How can we help - each other? • No one knows how to “do” curation properly • There is an overlap between DCC and other JISC projects • We can help each other Development

  27. The DCC can: • act as a clearing house for ideas • help to coordinate efforts • undertake longer term research • take particular products and generalise/package them for general use. • provide some common infrastructure elements Development
