(DICE) research group (http://diceresearch.org).

___coffee + talk

(so we can have a headcount for goodies)

More content information here:

The DICE group's Storage Research Broker (SRB) data grid has been used 
for more than 10 years by research teams on an international scale to 
automate all aspects of manipulation of large, distributed data files. 
The group most recently developed an open source Integrated 
Rule-Oriented Data System (iRODS), which utilizes user-defined rules to 
automate complex management policies.

Topics covered by the presentation will include:
- identification of metadata required to organize distributed data into 
a shared collection for use in a digital library or preservation 
environment
- identification of management policies that are needed to make 
assertions about collection properties.  This immediately raises the 
question whether metadata mandates are driven by the set of management 
policies, or whether management policies are driven by metadata 
mandates.
- demonstration of applications of policy-driven metadata mandates. We 
will demonstrate generalization of NARA metadata hierarchy.

Please feel free to forward this post.

We look forward to an exciting session!

Best wishes, Jane Greenberg
