Researchers across a range of fields have been inspired by the
possibilities of data-intensive research. In many cases, however,
researchers find themselves unable to take part due to a lack of
facilities, insufficient access to data, cultural disincentives, and a
range of other impediments. In order to develop a deeper
understanding of this, UKOLN, University of Bath and Microsoft
Research have been collaborating on developing a Community
Capability Model Framework (CCMF) designed to assist
ins... read more

An increasing number of UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are developing Research Data Management (RDM) support services. Their action reflects a changing technical, social and political environment, guided by principles set out in the Research Councils UK (RCUK) Common Principles on Data Policy. These reiterate expectations that publicly-funded research should be openly accessible, requiring that research data are effectively managed. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council... read more

In the Indian context, when the e-government records are received for archival purpose, it is observed that very often they are produced without proper compliances for long term digital preservation. This paper presents a case study of e-district Mission Mode Project which offers diverse citizen services and produces the e-records such as birth certificates, domicile certificates, marriage certificates, caste certificates, etc in very large volumes. Such born digital e-government records have to... read more

In a recent scoping study we have inquired into the data management needs of several research groups at the Uni- versity of Porto and concluded that data quality and ease of on-line data manipulation are among the most valued features of a data repository. This paper describes the en- suing approach to data curation, designed to streamline the data depositing process and built on two components: a curation workflow and a data repository. The workflow in- volves a data curator who will assist res... read more

In this paper, we present and address a number of challenges in digital preservation of entire business processes: (1) identifying digital objects a business process depends on (“What to preserve and why?”); (2) identifying significant changes in digital objects (“When to preserve and why?”); (3) determining a re-deployment setting (“What to re-deploy and why?”). After highlighting these challenges, we illustrate some aspects of business processes that are relevant in the context of digital pres... read more

Data publishing using semantic web and linked data techniques enables the sharing of detailed information. Importantly this information is shared using common standards and vocabularies to enable simple re-use. In the digital preservation community, an increasing number of systems are adopting linked data techniques for sharing data, including the PRONOM and UDFR technical registries. In many systems, only current information is being shared. Further, this information is not being described with... read more

Increasing experience in developing and maintaining large repositories of digital objects suggests that changes in the large- scale infrastructure of archives, their capabilities, and their communities of use, will themselves necessitate the ability to manage, manipulate, move, and migrate content at very large scales.
Migration at scale of digital assets, whether those assets are deposited with the archive, or are created as preservation system artifacts by the archive, and whether migration is... read more

The effective preservation of both current and historical scientific data will underpin a multitude of ecological, economic and political decisions that shape the future of our society. The SCIDIP-ES project addresses the long-term preservation of the knowledge encoded in scientific data by providing preservation e- infrastructure services which support the persistent storage, access and management needs. Using exemplars from the Earth Science domain we highlight the key preservation challenges ... read more

Digital preservation research has increasingly been shifting focus from the preservation of data and static objects to investigate the preservation of complete processes and workflows. Capturing all aspects of a process to be preserved, however, is an extensive and difficult undertaking, as it requires capturing complete software setups with potentially complex setups. Further, the process might use external services that are not easy to capture and monitor. In this paper, we therefore investiga... read more

The majority of existing digital preservation solutions are focusing on the long-term storage of digital content such as documents, images, video, audio files and other domain specific data. Preservation of an Information Technology infrastructure for supporting business processes is a much more challenging task. It requires the preservation of software and hardware stacks as well as relevant contexts, which together, provide an execution layer for running business processes. The proposed TIMBUS... read more
