  DELOS Summer School 2005
  Sophia Antipolis, France

  5th-11th June, 2005



  The DELOS Network of Excellence is a four-year project funded by the
European Commission under the Sixth Framework Programme to synergize and
foster technology for the next-generation of Digital Libraries
(www.delos.info). It builds on the work of an earlier project under FP5
which ran from 2000-2003 (www.delos-noe.org). At its Scientific Board
Meeting of July 2004 in Corvara it was agreed that DELOS should run a summer
school on 'Digital Preservation in Digital Libraries'. The DELOS Network of
Excellence is pleased to announce that the summer school programme has been
developed and is now available for registration. This delivery of this event
is co-sponsored by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) and ERPANET.



  The aim of the summer school is to assist participants in understanding
how to address digital preservation challenges in the context of the digital
library. The workshop will also provide a networking opportunity for
participants to meet with other students and researchers, international
experts, and practitioners across disciplinary and national boundaries.



  Workshop Format

  During this 6-day summer school, internationally established lecturers
will each lead half-day sessions and most will be available through the week
for further discussion. By the end of the course, participants will have:



    a.. gained an appreciation of the issues surrounding digital
preservation within the context of digital library development and
management;
    b.. developed a grasp of the core research in the area of digital
curation and preservation;
    c.. developed a coherent and practical understanding of activities
surrounding digital preservation;
    d.. gained experience with issues surrounding workflow modelling,
metadata definition, and ingest process management;
    e.. acquired an appreciation of the different approaches to selecting
and appraising potential digital acquisitions;
    f.. become familiar with the OAIS model and gained a knowledge of the
approaches to repository design and deployment;
    g.. a working knowledge of the issues surrounding audit and
certification of digital repositories;
    h.. a working knowledge of the techniques and practices that underlie
digital curation;
    i.. develop a firm understanding of the issues of authenticity,
integrity, and reliability in relation to digital libraries; and
    j.. considered how digital curation and preservation requirements can be
integrated into approaches to digital library development.
