My name is Youran Wang. As a graduate student now studying in Humboldt University of Berlin, I am in the master programme named Digital Curation. Recently we have been working on a mini project for research method practice, the topic is about users' personal information preservation in social networking services. I will gladly appreciate your kind help if you could spend a little time to participate in my simple investigation by answering 10 following questions. There is not any limitation on your answers and any kind of the idea will be acceptable, such as stories, experiences, suggestions, queries, doubts, etc. Questions: 1. How do you usually deal with your personal information* that you created in Facebook? 2. Do you think those kinds of personal information are your intellectual products? Why? 3. Do you want to preserve them in time for future use? Why? 4. What are your main concerns for your existent personal information in Facebook? 5. How will you retrieve your personal information in Facebook when years later? 6. How do you integrate your personal information which are separated among those different types and formats? 7. Do your trust your hard disk for your personal information preservation, or prefer to store your personal information on the Cloud? 8. What services do your know for preserving your personal information in Facebook? 9. What services did your ever use to preserve your personal information in Facebook? 10. What are the advantages and disadvantages of that, according to your demands? * The term?personal information? here we define as the information which is directly created from people's online communication behaviors in social networking services, such as posted photos, videos, audios and texts, conversation records and other kinds of information communication records. Any piece of information from you is welcome, and I am looking forward to your reply.

Last few places left for ISO 16363 training - Pasadena, CA Jan 26-30, 2015 Message-ID: <16C92BA681D083499626AF35C5A645163AFA2DC9@ITS-MSXMBS5F.ad.unc.edu> Want to learn about auditing digital repositories? Gain skills and knowledge to assess your own repository according to international standards? In this workshop you will not only learn about relevant repository and auditing standards, you will also see how to assess your own repository and what steps might be necessary to bring your repository into compliance with ISO 16363. Act now - last few places left for High Level Training Course on ISO 16363 for Managers of Digital Repositories Pasadena, USA 26-30 January 2015 The course will be taught by the authors of these standards The Primary Trustworthy Digital Repository Authorisation Body (PTAB) was set up by the authors of ISO16363 and ISO16969 standards in order to ensure that a consultancy and training service would be provided to industry, finance, legal bodies, government, scientific, memory and archive institutions by world experts in the field ensuring consistency and accuracy to maintain the highest possible standards are put in place. All the training will be carried out by members of the PTAB team. There are three important ISO standards: * ISO 14721:2012 (OAIS - a reference model for what is required for an archive to provide long-term preservation of digital information) * ISO 16363:2013 (Audit and certification of trustworthy digital repositories - sets out comprehensive metrics for what an archive must do, based on OAIS) * ISO 16919:2014 (Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of candidate trustworthy digital repositories - specifies the competencies and requirements on auditing bodies) These three standards form a closely related family and an understanding of their principles and use will become increasingly important in establishing an internationally recognised and certified set of trustworthy digital repositories. The authors of these standards will be running a 5-day training course at The Athenaeum, Caltech, in Pasadena, CA from 26-30 January 2015. The course is divided into modules, each of which consists of a presentation, practical exercises and discussion. Registration for this High Level Training Course on ISO16363 is now open - please complete the form below. The cost is $2000 and there is an early-bird discount of 10% available until the 16 January 2015. There will be a dinner at The Athenaeum, Caltech on the evening of Wednesday 28 January, and also a tour of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory on the afternoon of Friday 30 January. An invoice, logistics information, recommended reading list and tutor profiles will be forwarded to you as soon as you have registered for the course. Please ensure you register as soon as possible to guarantee your place as numbers for this course are very limited. http://www.iso16363.org/courses/future-courses/pasadena-january-2015/ A number of rooms are available at the Athenaeum and also special rates at the Doubletree at Hilton. The special rate cut-off date is January 11, 2015. -Helen Dr. Helen R.

DSpace 5.0 can be downloaded immediately at either of the following locations: ? SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/files/ ? GitHub: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/ (see the "dspace-5.0" tag) In addition, you are welcome to try out DSpace 5.0 on http://demo.dspace.org/ and continue to provide any early feedback you may have. With a new, modern look and feel for every device, the ability to auto-upgrade from older versions of DSpace, to batch import content and more, the release of DSpace 5 offers its far-flung global community of developers and stakeholders an even easier-to-use and more efficient institutional repository solution. And it's yet another example of successful community-driven open source software development. All DSpace 5 features were selected and built in partnership with a "virtual team" of developers, the DuraSpace organization and the global DSpace community at-large. The power of distributed development has resulted in a release that delivers several highly sought after and innovative features. *MIRAGE 2 RESPONSIVE THEME* Responsive web design is all about being able to easily adapt as users everywhere take advantage of all-the-time Internet access. The Mirage 2 User Interface for DSpace, developed by @mire, enables any device?computer, smart phone, tablet?to display repository information. The Mirage 2 theme makes it easy to display DSpace repository content wherever your users are, at any time and on any device. This theme for the DSpace XML User Interface (XMLUI) was built on Bootstrap. Mirage 2 adds support for devices in all shapes and sizes, an updated look and feel and an entire range of optimizations behind the scenes. *AUTO DATA UPGRADE FEATURE* Software updates?especially for a repository that holds a lot of content?are time consuming and often present multiple challenges. With DSpace 5, moving from earlier versions of DSpace just got easier. In the past, the typical upgrade process involved manually running database upgrade scripts. If you were several versions behind, this meant manually running a series of scripts in sequence, and potentially having to test intermediate versions of DSpace to perform a successful upgrade. Both of these manual processes are now a thing of the past! When you first run DSpace 5, it will upgrade your database from any previous DSpace version (1.x, 3 or 4) automatically, ensuring that your data is safely migrated to the latest version, and removing one of the more tedious parts of the upgrade process. *BATCH IMPORT FEATURE* Need to import lots of files all at once?and which repository manager does not face this challenge? The ?Batch Import from the UI? feature in DSpace 5 has added the ability to batch import content through the XMLUI or JSPUI web interface. In DSpace 5 DSpace administrators create a batch import package on their desktop, and simply upload the ZIP file into DSpace through the web interface?no technical support needed! *OVERVIEW OF NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS IN 5.0* *General:* ? Automatic data upgrades to 5.x from any previous DSpace version. Your underlying DSpace database now upgrades itself automatically when you first run a newer version of DSpace. Solr/Lucene indexes upgrade automatically during the "ant update" step. ? Perform Batch Imports from Administrative UI (XMLUI or JSPUI) ? REST API now supports CRUD (Create/Read/Update/Delete) ? Linked (Open) Data support via a new RDF interface ? OAI-PMH improvements, including OpenAIRE v3 compliance ? Enhanced Image and PDF Thumbnails using ImageMagick / Ghostscript ? File downloads now tracked in Google Analytics (when enabled) ? Enhancements to DOI support (EZID IdentifierProvider Metadata Mapping) ? A place for third-party plugins/JARs to be discovered by DSpace ? All DSpaceObjects now have underlying metadata support *XMLUI-specific (each feature must be individually enabled):* ? Mirage 2 responsive theme, based on Bootstrap ? ORCID integration and new authority index ? Report Google Analytics statistics in Admin UI ? Autogenerate PDF citation cover pages during download ? SHERPA/RoMEO lookup during item submission ? Rendering MathML code in abstracts using MathJax *JSPUI-specific (each feature must be individually enabled):* ? Drag and drop file upload (using HTML5) in Submission Process ? Item visual indicators in browse and search results For much more information on each of these features, please visit our 5.0 Release Notes:https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Release+Notes *5.0 DOCUMENTATION* The DSpace 5.0 documentation is available online at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/ A PDF copy of the documentation is still distributed with the software at SourceForge. In addition, it can also be downloaded from: http://www.dspace.org/latest-release/ *5.0 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS* The DSpace application would not exist without the hard work and support of the community. Thank you to the many developers who have worked very hard to deliver all the new features and improvements. Also thanks to the users who provided input and feedback on the development, as well those who participated in the testathons. Additionally we would like to thank Tim Donohue of DuraSpace for ensuring that DSpace 5.0 went off without a hitch. A detailed listing of all known people/institutions who contributed directly to DSpace 5.0 is available in the Release Notes. If you contributed and were accidentally not listed, please let us know so that we can correct it! For DSpace 5.0, we had a total of 56 individuals contribute code, bug reports, and bug fixes. A big thanks goes out to everyone who participated. We hope you'll continue to be a valuable addition to the DSpace community for the next release and beyond! *MORE INFORMATION* More information on this release is also available in the DSpace 5.0 Release Notes at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Release+Notes As always, we are happy to hear back from the community about DSpace. Please let us know what you think of 5.0! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We attempted to derive the model from first principles assuming that curation is an inherently semiotic activity and incorporating the many important advances of prior modeling efforts such as FRBR, OAIS, NAA, PLM, BRM, ICO, and others. While not finalized, the model is reasonably well-defined in a draft whitepaper available at http://wiki.ucop.edu/display/Curation/Foundations. We welcome your reactions, comments, and suggestions. "Digital curation is a complex of actors, policies, practices, and technologies that enables meaningful consumer engagement with authentic content of interest across space and time. To ensure that it is using its curation resources in the most productive manner, the University of California Curation Center (UC3) has modeled the curation domain to provide a consistent, comprehensive, yet parsimonious conceptual foundation for the planning, implementation, and evaluation of its manifold activities. The UC3 Sept model builds upon, and attempts to consolidate, prior efforts such as Kahn and Wilensky, FRBR, OAIS, NAA performance model, PLM, PREMIS, BRM, ICO, SPOT, and NDSA levels of preservation. It also draws upon relevant concepts from cognitive psychology, information science, game theory, and semiotic theory. The model considers curated content with respect to five distinct semiotic dimensions: semantics, syntactics, empirics, pragmatics, and dynamics, which refer respectively to content's underlying abstract meaning or affect, inner and outer symbolic encoding structures, physical representations, behaviors, and evolution through time. Correspondingly, there is a hierarchical typology of accumulating content utility: entities, artifacts, articles, commodities, assets, and heirlooms, which are respectively existential, intentional, purposeful, meaningful, useful, and reliable digital objects. Content engagement is modeled in terms of three roles and related loci of concerns: producers/production, managers/management, and consumers/consumption, all co-existing within a continuum of formalizing, codifying, and pluralizing dimensions encompassing the engendering of, imposition of structure upon, and extension of reach and consequence of curated content. Curation strategies are modeled in terms of six high-level imperatives: predilect, collect, protect, introspect, project, and connect. The UC3 model components and terminology can be used to make precise yet concise statements regarding curation intentions, activities, and results." http://wiki.ucop.edu/display/Curation/Foundations --sla Stephen Abrams Associate Director, UC Curation Center California Digital Library University of California, Office of the President Stephen.Abrams at ucop.edu +1 510-987-0370 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
