Coming Up: Oracle-DuraSpace “All About Repositories” Web Seminars–Repositories and Cloud Services for Data Cyberinfrastructure

Ithaca, NY To strengthen, engage and provide professional learning opportunities for repository user and developer communities, topics and issues of interest will been presented in the free, “All About Repositories” web seminar series offered by Oracle and Duraspace throughout 2010.

The series kicks off with a 45 minute presentation entitled “Repositories and Cloud Services for Data Cyberinfrastructure” by Sandy Payette, CEO DuraSpace, on June 23 at 11 am PT; 2:00 pm EDT, (register here) that will take a historical look at the emergence of infrastructure–electric grids, railways, and the Internet.

The development of these different types of infrastructures reveals that a key developmental stage has been reached when formerly incompatible or stand-alone systems are interconnected via adapters and gateways. We see this in the digital repository domain, where the notion of a digital repository began as a predominantly institutional phenomenon, or in certain cases a disciplinary phenomenon, but is now evolving to a point where repositories are becoming integrated components of larger systems and distributed infrastructure. At the same time, we see the emergence of cloud technologies that offer large-scale storage and compute capabilities, but with open questions on how well the cloud will meet the requirements of digital preservation and data archiving.

In this session, Payette will discuss how the DuraSpace not-for-profit organization is working to evolve open source repositories and cloud services to serve as core components within emerging data cyber infrastructure. In collaboration with the Fedora and DSpace communities, DuraSpace is positioning repositories and cloud services to become part of a distributed data curation and archiving fabric that encompasses both institutional systems and the Web. She will also provide highlights from the DuraSpace partnership with the Data Conservancy, an NSF-funded Datanet project.

Towards Interoperable Preservation Repositories (TIPR)

"From the Abstract: The TIPR (Towards Interoperable Preservation Repositories) project is based on the assumption that responsibility for long-term digital preservation must be distributed across a number of stewardship organizations running heterogeneous and geographically dispersed repositories. For reasons of redundancy, succession planning and software migration, these repositories must be able to exchange copies of archived information packages with each other. Practical repository-to-repository transfer will require a common, standards-based transfer format capable of transporting rich preservation metadata as well as digital objects, and repository systems must be capable of exporting and importing information packages utilizing this format. The project has drafted, implemented, and tested a specification for a Repository Exchange Package (RXP), a hierarchical packaging format designed to facilitate the exchange of Archival Information Packages (AIPs) between digital repositories. The RXP encodes structural and preservation metadata using METS and PREMIS, two widely used schema in the cultural heritage community. It is agnostic to the application software used by the sending or receiving repositories or the number of representations included in any AIP." Posted by stevehit to dp.preserv on Wed Jun 09 2010
