design for digital curation
===========================

* initial discussion
* computer network
* private network or public network?
* sensitivity of donor
* VPN for access
* difference from paper?
* ease of discovery
* appraisal
* degree of processing

* jeremy leighton john presentation
* digital lives as strategic project
* public and organizational engagement
* skills
* content & access
* professional interaction
* .
* personal digital mss project/eMSS
* inc. wendy cope; harold pinter
* initial explorations
* video walks/interviews
* panorama photographs
* landscape/people photography
* oral history
* aspects
* register
* inventory on receipt/intake
* eMSS processing
* fast digitization
* enhanced curation
* independent sources
* community participation
* adaptive information management
* digital preservation
* transfer/ingest
* advanced access & resource discovery
* integration
* guidelines
* research
* extraordinary requests - outside entities
* people, places, contexts, identifiers
* time & process
* digital objects curatorial system steps
* key component
* digital replicates (export)
* digital elements (formation (inc expanding compound files))
* digital facisimiles
* digital capture database - prototype filemaker application
* personal vs curatorial digital objects and media
* appraisal decision whether to keep original media
* appropriate scale for recording metadata in this form?

* paul wheatley presentation - @prwheatley - paul.wheatley@bl.uk
* digital preservation manager,BL
* three main areas of digpres work atBL
* enhance ability to perform digital preservation (collab projects like planets, SCAPE, POCOS)
* address root causes of digpres issues atBL
* manage and preserveBL collections
* key activities
* digital asset register - ~200 entries; where it is/what it is/who's responsible
* data stabilization (moving off removable media to secure storage)
* permanent access activity - risk assessment/content checking
* SCAPE: EU 3.5 yr project; mostly focused onscale/complexity
* AQUA
* QA work is essential; things go wrong
* content arrives in imperfect condition
* moving, processing, unpacking, repacking, generating md
* errors (human/software), full disks, etc
* solutions
* checksums/verifiable manifests
* not always used
* legacy content doesnt always have them
* situation improving significant
* less helpful when content is processed/migrate/dcurated
* manual QA
* fallible
* does not scale
* costly
* automating QA (under dev)
* enable timely checking of content on acquisition
* verify condition at "change points"
* check condition following deposit in digital library system
* analytics during process
* goes beyond format characterization/validation - TIFF with bitrot can still be a valid TIFF
* AQuA: automating quality assurance project
* http://wiki.opf-labs.org/display/AQuA
* 6 month JIS project between York & Leeds Unis,BL, and OPF
* apply existing software tools to variety of digpres issues and QA problems
* 2 3-day mashup/hackathon events
* collection owners bring content, techies bring scripting/hacking skills - "speed dating"
* define and articulate preservation issues
* hack and mash - develop QA solutions
* wrap-up/evaluate results
* initial prototypes:
* fingerprinting techniques to id duplicate/similar files
* crosschecking content and metadata
* validation of format migration using OCR comparison
* deep validation of PDFs re: fonts
* sven laqua & angela sasse
* sensemaking UIs for digital archivists
* focus-metaphor interfaces - know dis
* motivation: information overload; insufficient search
* goals: better, different information experience
* personal, task-centric UI
* automated, proactive search
* support for information discovery and exploration
* focus-metaphor prortype demonstrated lower task completion time and error rate
* initial search results display -> item view with related items surrounding
* allows you to specify whether you've viewed things or not
