Digital Preservation and Curation:Defining the Research Agenda for the
Next Decade
Summing up + Next StepsNeil Beagrie
British Library/JISC
Warwick Workshop Nov 2005
Information Infrastructure
• 2.23 The growing UK research base must have ready and efficient access to information of all kinds – such as experimental data sets, journals, theses, conference proceedings and patents….
• 2.24 It is clear that the research community needs access to information mechanisms which: systematically collect, preserve and make available digital information;….
• 2.25 The Government [via DTI] will therefore work with interested funders and stakeholders to consider the national e-infrastructure (hardware, networks, communications technology) necessary to deliver an effective system.
E-Infrastructure WGs
• DTI Steering Group has:– Commissioned roadmap study– Established 6 sub-groups:
• Middleware and AAA and DRM • Networks and computer power and storage hardware • Search and navigation • Information and data creation• Virtual research communities• Preservation and curation
– Each WG to report by end March 2006
Preservation & Curation WG Membership:• Neil Beagrie (chair)• Richard Boulderstone (British Library)• Lorraine Estelle (Joint Information Systems Committee)• Jerry Giles• Helen Hockx-yu (Joint Information Systems Committee)• Maggie Jones (Digital Preservation Coalition)• Michael Jubb (Research Information Network)• Chris Rusbridge (Digital Curation Centre)• David Thomas (The National Archives)• Mark Thorley (Natural Environment Research Council)• Heather Weaver (Council for the Central Laboratories of the Research
Councils)
Virtual Membership:• wide panel of expert, industry, government, and international reviewers
Preservation & Curation WG
• Inputs to its draft report:
– Warwick workshop outcomes
– E-infrastructure roadmap
– DPC national needs assessment
– Input from WG members and virtual membership
Preservation & Curation WG
• Next steps:
– Three meetings Nov-March
– Liaison with other WGs
– Draft report
– Final report late March
– DTI steering group provides combined report and SR2007 submission
Future EU initiatives
• i2010– Consultation on cultural heritage (to Jan
2006)– Future consultation on scientific information
• FP6• FP7• 3rd EU Conference on Research
Infrastructures Nottingham Dec 2005– ICT and information infrastructure strand
EU Working Groups
• ESFRI• E-infrastructure reflection group• Taskforce on Permanent Access to the
Records of Science• Moves towards Alliance• Substantial cross-representation of UK
and EU working groups• Parallel developments at national (UK)
and at European (EU) level
