From cmmorris at duraspace.org Tue Apr 3 10:22:43 2018 From: cmmorris at duraspace.org (Carol Minton Morris) Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2018 10:22:43 -0400 Subject: [Pasig-discuss] Announcement: CASRAI to Become a DuraSpace Project Message-ID: April 3, 2018 Contact: David Baker Read it online: http://bit.ly/2uILK7h *CASRAI to Become a DuraSpace Project* *The Consortia Advancing Standards in Research Administration Information (CASRAI) improves the flow of information within and between research stakeholders by developing and maintaining standard information agreements among various stakeholders in the research enterprise.* The DuraSpace organization and CASRAI are pleased to announce that CASRAI is now a project of DuraSpace. Together they will work to enable CASRAI in becoming a sustainable, community-driven project; on continuing to develop new community-based standards; and on expanding the CASRAI community beyond the over 50 organizations currently engaged with the project. The CASRAI community has developed the CASRAI standard dictionary of research administration information to facilitate controlled information exchanges between stakeholders enabling collaborative teams to work across academic research, clinical, and applied domains. The dictionary is shared infrastructure meant to serve as a key component of the national and international interoperability strategies of research organizations. It represents the integrated outputs (and ongoing maintenance) of an international network of subject matter experts from stakeholder organizations. The dictionary is intended as a canonical collection of common terms and their descriptors as well as basic structural groupings. For more information about CASRAI, please visit: casrai.org Speaking for a long-time member of the CASRAI community, Dr Simon Kerridge, Director of Research Services at the University of Kent and CASRAI Chair said, ?I strongly support CASRAI?s alliance with DuraSpace. It ensures the sustainability of the CASRAI effort, and it signals the growing maturity of this exciting collaborative enterprise. But most important, the connection with DuraSpace will drive innovation that research offices, libraries, and other campus services concerned with knowledge and research information management can offer their communities." *Connecting CASRAI with the DuraSpace Community* Recognizing the complementarities and synergies within the international open ecosystem the addition of the CASRAI project marks a broadening of the DuraSpace mandate in two key ways. First, we are adding ?open systems? and ?open standards? to our current focus on ?open source? - a layered open stack we will be calling OS3 or ?OS-cubed?. Second, we are adding a Research Management Information (RMI) dimension to our scholarly communications and open access program areas and we are excited to have the CASRAI project spearhead our new Research Management Information (RMI) efforts. By taking advantage of DuraSpace support services that include executive leadership, technical leadership, community outreach, communications, business development, and administration,( http://duraspace.org/whatwedoprojects) projects minimize administrative costs while connecting with well-established open source development communities. CASRAI and DuraSpace began efforts towards establishing CASRAI as a formal project in January 2018. -- Carol Minton Morris Communications and Marketing Director DuraSpace duraspace.org 607 592-3135 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You can read the original explanation for why we created the Levels here. As many of you know, the Levels document was meant to be adapted as new preservation solutions and strategies emerged. You have told us the Levels need to be updated and we have heard you. The NDSA proposes to launch a Levels of Preservation Working Group whose primary task will be to provide the methodology by which this important document can be adapted more readily?taking in the broadest possible feedback in the process. How is this different than the other NDSA Working Groups? We will not limit this group to NDSA members, though we will strongly encourage everyone to participate. The preliminary charge for this group will be: 1. Identify those actively engaged in adapting the Levels 2. Cast a wide net for those willing to engage in updating the current version 3. Create a methodology by which disparate approaches can be fully vetted and harmonized into Version 2.0 of the Levels 4. Devise an ongoing strategy by which the Levels can be adapted on a regular basis. If you are interested in participating, please fill out our form.

Archives Registration is open! May 11, 2018 10 am ? 5 pm Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, Connecticut Register online: https://britishart.yale.edu/registration-permanence-preservation-born-digital-artists-archives Please join us for a day of presentations and conversation about digital preservation and artists? archives at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, CT. https://britishart.yale.edu/research/research-programs/symposium-permanence-preservation-born-digital-artists-archives The internet pioneer Vint Cerf has said, ?Preservation by accident is not a plan.? Without a plan, will born-digital art last even one lifetime? If we do not develop solutions now, we risk losing not only born-digital art but artists? archives as well, effectively erasing the work and memory of this generation and subsequent generations? art history. Today, an artist?s studio ephemera likely consists of old laptops and iPhones, professional websites and social media accounts, as well as traditional analog materials. Artists? archives are increasingly hybrid collections, requiring adaptable preservation methods. This symposium will explore the challenges of born-digital preservation and artists? archives, including: artists? use of born-digital methods as part of their practice and as a means of documentation, the state of the digital preservation field for artists and those who steward their archives, and preservation strategies for artists, museums, collectors, archives, and libraries. The keynote speaker is Jon Ippolito, Professor of New Media and Director of the Digital Curation graduate program, University of Maine. In addition to Ippolito?s talk, this program will feature presentations by Clifford Allen and Deb Verhoff, Watermill Center, Robert Wilson Archives and New York University; John Bell, Dartmouth College; Deena Engel and Glenn Wharton, New York University; Sara England and Mikhel Proulx, Concordia University; Josh Franco and Hilary Price, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution; Laura Molloy, University of Oxford; Colin Post, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; and Farris Wahbeh, Whitney Museum of American Art.

The survey has a particular focus on staffing resources, but also briefly covers policy, strategy, and maturity modelling. We are aware that concrete information for benchmarking institutions against their peers - particularly in regards to maturity and staffing resources - is required by those looking to make the case for digital preservation within their organisations. We are interested in obtaining figures from institutions around the world, regardless of an institution?s size or whether any digital preservation effort has already commenced. We are particularly keen to obtain information from institutions based outside of the USA. We would be very grateful if you would take the time to fill out our survey: https://cambridge.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_brWr12R8hMwfIOh The survey should take between 10-20 minutes to complete. Deadline for survey responses is: 31 May 2018 (Though we would very much appreciate input earlier than this date.) Anonymised raw data will be shared via the DPOC website for all in the digital preservation community to use, in August 2018: http://www.dpoc.ac.uk/ Any questions about the survey can be directed to: digitalpreservation at lib.cam.ac.uk *Apologies for cross-posting* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On behalf of -- Somaya Langley Digital Preservation Specialist - Policy and Planning (Polonsky Fellow) Cambridge University Library West Road, Cambridge, CB3 9DR T: +44 (0)1223 765576 E: szl20 at cam.ac.uk -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Exactly is a simple and easy to use application for remotely and safely transferring any born-digital material to the archive. Exactly uses the BagIt File Packaging Format. It supports FTP and SFTP transfers, as well as standard network transfers, and integrates into desktop-based file sharing workflows such as Dropbox or Google Drive. Exactly can also send email notifications when files have been delivered to their destination.This release addresses the following issues: - Fixed bug with transferring files to a Dropbox managed folder caused by locks during synchronization process.- Updated the BagIt Library from LOC to the latest version (v5). This is what prompted the most changes as a lot of the old API methods were deprecated due to v5 being a complete rewrite of the library.- Preserve all file metadata (including modified time, ownership, etc) during Transfer by explicitly reading from source and writing to destination after Transfer. Not valid for FTP transfers.- Lock destination files during copy. This prevents external programs (like Dropbox) from locking files until we have finished copying to destination.- Changed the lookandfeel to use system default because ?Nimbus? had some strange behavior on Windows (particularly scroll bars being cut-off)- Place sources directly into ?/target_destination/data/? directory before bagging instead of ?/destination/?. This prevents the need to move the files after they have been bagged.- Added a retry when trying to delete unserialized version of a bag. This is file-lock related.- Minor UI changes: better modal dialog placement, improved logging of progress, and better scrolling in the metadata window.- Add metadata before bagging to remove the need for rewriting and recalculating the md5 of baginfo.txt after bagging.- Remove the nbproject folder, because maven takes care of project structure now.Exactly is available for Mac and Windows.

Exactly usa el formato de empaquetado de archivos BagIt. Permite transferencias FTP y SFTP, como tambi?n transferencias est?ndares a trav?s de redes e incluye integraci?n con aplicaciones de escritorio de programas de intercambio de archivos como Dropbox y Google Drive. Exactly tambi?n puede enviar notificaciones por email cuando los archivos han llegado a su destino.Esta versi?n incluye las siguientes mejoras: - Correcci?n de errores con transferencias de archivos a carpetas administradas por Dropbox causadas por bloqueos durante el proceso de sincronizaci?n.- Actualizaci?n de la Biblioteca BagIt de LoC a la versi?n m?s nueva (v5). Esto ha generados los cambios m?s significativos puesto que muchos m?todos de API antiguos quedaron obsoletos ya que la v5 fue una reescritura completa de la biblioteca.- Preservaci?n de todos los metadatos de archivo (incluyendo hora de modificaci?n, datos de propiedad, etc.) durante la transferencia a trav?s de la lectura expl?cita de la fuente y escritura en destino despu?s de la transferencia. No es v?lido para transferencias FTP.- Bloqueo de archivos de destino durante la copia. Esto previene que programas externos (como Dropbox) bloqueen los archivos hasta que la copia se finalice en el destino.- Cambio en la apariencia para utilizar la de defecto del sistema porque ?Nimbus? ten?a un comportamiento extra?o en Windows (particularmente que cortaba las barras de navegaci?n)- Ubicaci?n de los recursos directamente en el directorio ?/carpeta_de_destino/data/? antes de crear la bolsa en vez de en ?/carpeta_de_destino/?. Esto previene la necesidad de mover los archivos despu?s de haber sido empacados.- A?adidura de un ?reintento? al tratar de borrar una versi?n no-serializada de una bolsa. Esto tiene relaci?n con el bloqueo de archivos.- Cambios menores de la interfaz de usuario: mejor ubicaci?n de di?logos modales, mejoramiento de procesos de bit?cora, y mejor navegaci?n en la ventana de metadatos.- A?adidura de metadatos antes de empaquetar para eliminar la necesidad de reescribir y recalcular el md5 del archivo baginfo.txt despu?s de empaquetar.- Remoci?n de la carpeta nbproject, porque ahora maven se hace cargo de la estructura del proyecto.Exactly est? disponible para Mac y Windows.

This week, we kicked off our Software Preservation Webinar Series! The recording from this week?s episode *?Episode 1: Introduction to Software Preservation?* is now available! You are invited to watch the recording and explore the supplementary resources provided for this episode here: http://bit.ly/webinar-episode1 This episode provides an overview of software preservation including past and current programmatic and project-based efforts to address key facets of software preservation such as metadata & standards, law & policy, technological infrastructure, research and training & education. Presenters provide additional detail about the subsequent episodes in the series, and solicit questions/topics from attendees that will inform open discussion with guests. *Episode 1* features William Kilbride (DPC), Paul Wheatley (DPC) and Jessica Meyerson (SPN). More to come next week after *?Episode 2: Software Collections? *featuring special guests Patricia Falcao (Tate), Paula Jabloner (Computer History Museum), and Tim Walsh (Center for Canadian Architecture)! *Episode 2* Research & Facilitator Lead is Anne-Marie Tr?panier (Canadian Center for Architecture). *About the Series* The Software Preservation Webinar Series provides a survey of software preservation contexts. Each episode explores a different software preservation context by providing an overview, discussion with guest speakers (specialists in digital preservation, software studies, scholarly communication, open source software and more) and open discussion with attendees. The webinar is jointly hosted by the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) and the Software Preservation Network (SPN). Special thanks to Sarah Middleton (DPC) and all the members of SPN Training & Education Working Group: Anne-Marie Tr?panier (Canadian Centre for Architecture), Sherry Lake (University of Virginia), Andi Altenbach (Studio Gang), Neil Chue Hong (Software Sustainability Institute), Elizabeth Parke (McGill University), Daina Bouquin (Harvard/Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics). Due to user limits on our web conferencing software, registration for the series is now closed. However, all episodes will be recorded and posted to the DPC and SPN websites. We plan to build on this series with additional programming, including a series of in-depth interviews with researchers, developers, archivists, curators and others on their work in software preservation and curation. Stay tuned!

The program is in the midst of a lot of evolving discussions around 1) developing new community LOCKSS Network models, 2) flexible preservation schemes with options for fewer copies than has been historically accepted, 3) broader content and super-node use cases, 4) commercial and open source developer collaborations around the LOCKSS architecture as web service components, and 5) active sharing of innovations and best practices between existing and new LOCKSS Networks. I shared the information below with the LOCKSS community and several people suggested that I make this information more broadly available. 1) Anthony Leroy, who manages the SAFE LOCKSS Network at the University of Brussels and is on the LOCKSS Advisory Committee, gave a great two part Digital Preservation and LOCKSS workshop at the ILIDE library conference in Slovakia April 15-18. ILIDE is one of the lead digital library conferences in Europe. This LOCKSS workshop was part of the PASIG-oriented section of the conference. Anthony went over the need for digital preservation, the principles of distributed digital preservation, LOCKSS concepts, and how and why SAFE implemented LOCKSS. The workshop materials are available at: https://owncloud.ulb.ac.be/index.php/s/qBRFD4dsOiA51Ba. 2) Below is information from the last LOCKSS monthly call on April 24. This call was a review of the annual LOCKSS Alliance Meeting that was held March 29-30 at Stanford. Nicholas Taylor, the LOCKSS Program Manager, and Thib Guicherd-Callin, the LOCKSS Technical Manager, presented. This was followed by extended and insightful discussion with many of the LOCKSS community leaders and Advisory Committee members. Topics included: Kick-off slides and Meeting Recap Strategic Directions Key Resources Technical Updates on LOCKSS Architected As Web Services (?LAAWS") and LOCKSS-O-Matic Open Discussion Presentation slides with audio: https://stanford.zoom.us/recording/play/71VAV7A2xewszJKgkbPkLMcUargZcEoK2XdsQ2JIo3THBAVfsUs4ep7Lly-s1O11 The slide decks can be directly accessed at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UbLvs7-7HsYDDftGJ2Pv6GbfNRIlKiGn ---- Art Pasquinelli LOCKSS Partnership Manager Stanford University Libraries Cell: 1-650-430-2441 artpasquinelli at stanford.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
