>Subject: Workshop: Preservation of Digital Information
The sixth workshop of the DELOS Working Group, to be held from 17 to 19
June 1998 in Lisbon, Portugal, will examine issues related to the
preservation of digital information. Apart from the presentations of
proposed papers, we will have also a number of invited guest speakers
who will present details of relevant technical and research issues.
Papers:
We invite contributions, in the form of position papers, addressing
topics relevant to the theme of the workshop. Possible topics include,
but are not limited to:
- Long-term storage and access architectures for digital publications.
- Formats and standards for preservation of digital information.
- Preservation of digital information formats.
- Metadata standards for preservation.
- Preservation of metadata and other contextual information.
- Information retrieval in archived collections.
- Reliability, authenticity and intellectual preservation in media migration.
- Digital document genres and preservation (policies and criteria).
- Preserving electronic publications (content) versus manifestations
(presentation).
- Organisational challenges and strategies in archiving of digital
information.
- Managing change in an digital repository environment.
- National challenges and strategies in archiving of digital information.
- The legal deposit of digital publications.
- Commercial protection and public interest in the access to (legal)
deposit collections.
- Longevity of digital media (CD-ROM, magnetic media, optical media, etc.).
- Preservation of hardware dependent digital information (games,
CBTs, etc.).
- Preserving information through digitalization.
Important dates for papers:
- Paper proposals (2 pages) must be submitted to <delos6@inesc.pt>
until 16 March 1998.
- Authors will be notified of paper acceptance until 30 March 1998.
- Final paper versions (5 to 10 pages) must be submitted until 8 June 1998.
Organization:
The sixth DELOS Workshop will be co-organized by the DELOS Working Group
and the NEDLIB Project.
DELOS is a working group funded by the ESPRIT Long Term Research Program
of the European Commission. The main objective of DELOS is to
contribute to the advancement of digital library construction by
identifying and promoting the discussion of research issues. The
members of the DELOS group are the twelve ERCIM research institutes, as
also the University of Michigan (USA) and Elsevier Science.
NEDLIB is a project promoted by the CoBRA+ group and supported by the
Telematics for Libraries Programme of the European Commission. The
project consortium includes nine European national libraries, a National
Archive and three main publishers. The objective of NEDLIB is to ensure
that digital publications of the present can be used now and in the
future.
The NEDLIB project is scheduled to start in January 1998. The project
will define an architecture for capturing, preserving and accessing
digital publications. It will develop tools and define standards and
procedures required to implement this architecture in a deposit system
of digital publications. NEDLIB will take account of the requirement of
long term storage and retrieval as well as the terms and conditions
applying to the access of those publications. As a result, the project
will define the technical environment and develop test implementations.
The local organization of the workshop will be a joint initiative of
INESC (both a DELOS and NEDLIB partner), and the Portuguese National
Library (a NEDLIB partner).
