The Digital Curation Centre is pleased to announce that it will be
delivering a two-day workshop to explore the range of policies required to
manage, preserve, and reuse the information held within digital repositories
over time. This event is co-sponsored by the Oxford Internet Institute (OII)
and will be held at Wolfson College at the University of Oxford on 3rd and
4th of July, 2006.

Developing and implementing a range of policies is vital for enabling the
effective management, discovery, and re-usability of information held within
digital repositories. This workshop will provide concrete examples of the
range and nature of the policies required and share real-life experiences in
implementing these policies through a series of case studies and panel
discussions.

Benefits of Attendance
This workshop will be of benefit to individuals and institutions that are
interested in implementing policies to manage, preserve, and reuse digital
information held within digital repositories over time.

Dates
This workshop will be held on Monday July 3rd and Tuesday July 4th, 2006.

Format
The event will be split over three sessions. The first will examine the
policies that can help to ensure that quality information is ingested into a
digital repository. The second session will examine the range of policies
that can assist with the long-term duration and preservation of information
over time. The third session will explore some of the policies that are
necessary to enable efficient and effective reuse of information held within
repositories. Finally, we will hold a forum discussion to allow participants
the opportunity to discuss some of the workshop themes in more detail.
