In this workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to:
- Get to know the new open-source software that will help them curate digital information in compliance with Open Archival Information System (OAIS);
- Learn how to install and use each individual tool that is part of this ecosystem;
- Experiment the software by following a step by step challenge.
Database Preservation Toolkit http://www.database-preservation.com/ - A tool that extracts data from relational databases and converts it to SIARD 2.0 for archival purposes.
RODA-in http://rodain.roda-community.org/ - A tool packaging content and preparing it to be transferred and ingested into a preservation service.
RODA https://github.com/keeps/roda/ - A long-term preservation digital repository for archival and preservation which implements OAIS functional entities.
Database Visualization Toolkit https://visualization.database-preservation.com - A tool to explore the structure and data of an archived database in SIARD 2.0.
