NDSR Art host applications are due October 31st. Summary The National Digital Stewardship Residency (NDSR) Art is a collaboration between the Philadelphia Museum of Art and ARLIS/NA through generous funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The NDSR Art program works to build a dedicated community of art information professionals who will advance our nation's capabilities in managing, preserving, and making accessible for future generations our art-based digital cultural heritage. Building on previous NDSR cohort models, NDSR Art will enable eight institutions from across the country to employ recent graduates to work on art and cultural heritage digital stewardship projects. Four institutions will be selected for the 2017-2018 residency year (August 2017 to July 2018). Since this is a nationally dispersed residency program, NDSR Art requires host institutions to hire residents, begin the conversation about hiring a resident with your HR department today and/or fill out the 'Intent to Apply' form here: http://ndsr-pma.arlisna.org/info-for-hosts/. Host Institution Benefits * Contributions from a highly skilled and motivated residents selected from a national pool of applicants * Compensation for the salary of the NDSR Art resident * Final project deliverables, as designed by the host institution in their project proposal * Access to continuing education and professional development for staff * The opportunity to help create and refine digital stewardship practices * Inclusion in a collaborative, national network of NDSR host institutions. Commitment Participation in NDSR Art requires a high-level of institutional engagement, which is why applicants must send a letter of commitment from the institution's director in their application. Host institutions are expected to hire their resident for one year and assign one full-time staff member to act as the resident's institutional mentor. The institutional mentor should be able to dedicate a percentage of their time to the project and is expected to join their resident at the week-long training session in Philadelphia. Host institutions must designate a workstation, provide project resources, and incorporate the resident into the entire institutional culture. Project Proposals Host applicants should identify projects that are challenging, deeply steeped in some aspect of the digital preservation lifecycle, promote innovation in the field, and provide leadership opportunities for both the resident and their institutional mentors. NDSR Art projects should focus on one or several aspects of art information digital stewardship, such as * planning for long-term sustainable access to digital assets, including * born digital works of art and time-based media, * electronic publications, * interpretive technologies and apps, * in-house produced audio-visual materials * reformatting, migration, and/or emulation of complex digital objects, * design and planning for content management and metadata systems, * addressing institutional readiness and assessment of digital preservation planning, and * policy issues, including * intellectual property, * copyright, * access and use, and * accessibility.

Message-ID: *FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE* October 25, 2016 Read it online: bit.ly/2eN5YQt *NOW AVAILABLE: DSpace 6.0?API Enhancements and New Features* *From Tim Donohue, DSpace Tech Lead for DuraSpace, on behalf of the DSpace developers* I would like to formally announce that DSpace 6.0 is now available! DSpace 6 provides significant API enhancements and new features to the DSpace platform. - DSpace 6.0 can be downloaded immediately from: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/releases/tag/dspace-6.0 - 6.0 Release notes are available at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/ display/DSDOC6x/Release+Notes - In addition, you are welcome to try out DSpace 6 on http://demo.dspace.org/ and continue to provide feedback on this major release. DSpace 6 features an enhanced configuration system, enhanced file storage plugins, and new quality control / healthcheck reporting features (via REST API and via email). In addition, DSpace 6 has an eye on the future, with a major Java API refactor that adds support for both UUIDs and Hibernate in our database layer. Like its predecessor, DSpace 6 continues to strive to simplify your upgrade process by automatically updating your database to 6.x compatibility (from any prior DSpace version). ENHANCED CONFIGURATION In DSpace 6, most configurations (those in *.cfg files) automatically reload themselves. This means you no longer need to restart your webserver every time you wish to modify a backend configuration. In addition, a new "local.cfg" file has been added to the codebase. This local.cfg gives you the power to override any configuration (from any *.cfg file) by simply copying it into your custom local.cfg file. This means you no longer need to manage all your configurations in separate files. Instead, you can simply copy all your customizations into your local.cfg, and easily take them with you in future upgrades. More information on this feature may be found at https://wiki.duraspace.org/ display/DSDOC6x/Configuration+Reference and in the Release Notes. ENHANCED FILE STORAGE In DSpace 6, the file (bitstream) storage plugins have received a major refactor, including support for Amazon S3 file storage. Additional file storage plugins may be built in the future (or you can build your own). More information on this feature is available athttps://wiki.duraspace.org/ display/DSDOC6x/Storage+Layer#StorageLayer-ConfiguringtheBitstreamStore HEALTHCHECKS AND QUALITY CONTROL Want to receive a regular email report of how large your DSpace is? Want to be notified of oddities in your logs (exceptions/warnings) before they cause more severe issues? Then take a look at the new, configurable email healthcheck reports that come with DSpace 6. More information is available at https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Healthcheck+reports Ever wish you could dig deeper into your site's metadata or files (bitstreams) without having to write database (SQL) queries? What if you could find metadata or file oddities before your users reported them? The DSpace 6 REST API now features a Quality Control reporting interface, along with a sample (HTML) client user interface. More information on this feature is available at https://wiki.duraspace.org/ display/DSDOC6x/REST+Based+Quality+Control+Reports The sample HTML clients can be tried out on our demo site (Sample Query client: https://demo.dspace.org/rest/static/reports/query.html and Sample Quality Control client: https://demo.dspace.org/rest/static/reports/index.html). REFACTORED JAVA API While obviously not a customer-facing feature, DSpace 6 includes a major refactor to the underlying Java API to make it more secure, easier to maintain and to help better support future roadmap goals. Key among these changes is the addition of Hibernate (http://hibernate.org/) to manage database logic and simplify our support of both PostgreSQL and Oracle backends. We've also added UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) support for all objects. Finally, the Java API itself has been modularized into three distinct layers, which provide business logic ("Service" layer), database access (or DAO) layer, and individual object access layer (setters/getters for each object). For most users, these Java API changes (and necessary database upgrades) will be seamless. However, if you have made major site customizations (involving adding new or custom Java API calls), you will need to update your local code to support the new 6.x Java API. Much more information on the extent of these changes is available at https://wiki.duraspace.org/ display/DSPACE/DSpace+Service+based+api OVERVIEW OF ALL NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS IN 6.0 - Java API refactor, featuring Hibernate and UUIDs - Enhanced (reloadable) configuration system, featuring a new local.cfg configuration file - Enhanced file storage plugins, featuring support for Amazon S3 - Configurable site healthchecks via email - XMLUI framework for metadata import from external sources, featuring support for PubMed imports - XMLUI export of search results to CSV (for batch editing) - XMLUI extensible administrative control panel - REST API Quality Control Reports, along with sample HTML clients and CSV export (for batch editing) - REST API support for additional authentication methods (e.g. LDAP, etc) - All searches default to boolean AND. - Enhanced indexing for searches (Excel is now searchable, as well as right-to-left text in PDFs) - OAI-PMH adds compliance for OpenAIRE 3.0 guidelines for literature repositories For a list of all new features in DSpace 6, please see the Release Notes: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Release+Notes DOCUMENTATION The DSpace 6.0 Documentation is available online at https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/ Upgrade instructions (for any previous release of DSpace) are available at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Upgrading+DSpace 6.0 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. We especially would like to thank the 6.0 Release Team, which consisted of Pascal-Nicolas Becker (Technische Universit?t Berlin / The Library Code), Tim Donohue (DuraSpace), Kevin Van de Velde (Atmire), and numerous other Committers who volunteered their time. A detailed listing of all known people/institutions who contributed directly to DSpace 6.0 is available in the Release Notes.

The organisers are pleased to issue a call for proposals to the program, with submissions due by 20 November 2016. In 2017 the Open Repositories conference returns to Australia, where the Open Repositories journey started in Sydney 2006. Repositories have come a long way in the intervening years, having emerged as critical systems for managing, preserving and sharing intellectual, artistic and scientific output. As such, repositories have found a firm placing within scholarly processes and becoming an integral vehicle to moving towards true Open Science. The OR community has established itself as an important contributor in this space, something we would like to emphasise in Brisbane by promoting the community?s ability to always stay at the forefront of development of both infrastructure and good practice. *OR2017 will provide an opportunity to:* ? showcase innovative repository services as well as innovations in functionality and user experience of repository software; ? introduce innovative uses of repositories, for example to accommodate new types of content, serve new groups of users, or achieve new goals; ? analyse drivers for repository innovation, including evolving technologies, changes in scholarly communication processes, as well as policies around open access to research outputs at institutional, national and international levels; and ? explore and highlight innovation in the wider ecosystem around repositories. We welcome proposals on these ideas, but also on other theoretical, practical, technical, organisational or administrative topics related to repositories. *Key Dates:* ? 20 November 2016: Deadline for submissions ? 14 December 2016: Deadline for Scholarship applications ? 03 February 2017: Submitters notified of acceptance (except Interest Groups) ? 03 February 2017: Registration opens ? 10 February 2017: Submitters notified of acceptance to Interest Groups ? 10 February 2017: Scholarship winners notified ? 26-30 June 2017: OR2017 conference FAQs about OR2017: http://or2017.net/frequently-asked-questions/ Website: http://or2017.net Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/OR2017aus Tag: #OR2017 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ORConference/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
