| The Preservation of the Integrity of Electronic Records (UBC Project) |
| |
Using the principles of archival science and diplomatics as a foundation, the "UBC Project" defined the requirements for creating, handling and preserving reliable and authentic electronic records in active recordkeeping systems. As its second phase, the InterPARES Project will apply the diplomatic and modeling methodology of the UBC Project to develop the theoretical and methodological knowledge required for the preservation of the integrity of inactive records created in electronic systems. |
| The DAVID Project |
| |
The first research project in Belgium about digital durability in a governmental environment. |
| Create Once, Use Many Times - The Clever Use of Metadata in eGovernment and eBusiness Processes In Networked Environments |
| |
Recordkeeping professionals now recognise the value of metadata as a tool for ensuring reliable recordkeeping in electronic environments, particularly in eBusiness and eGovernment. However, the implementation of recordkeeping metadata standards is proving to be problematic: tools for automatic metadata creation are inadequate, and current systems environments generally do not support the sharing of metadata between business systems for multiple purposes.
This research project will develop a proof of concept prototype to demonstrate how standards-compliant metadata can be created once in particular application environments, then used many times to meet a range of business purposes. The prototype will be implemented in a test-bed site to provide a model for best practice. |
| MetaMap |
| |
The MetaMap is a pedagogical graphic which takes the form of a subway map. Its aim is to help the information science community understand metadata standards, sets, and initiatives of interest in this area. |
| DELOS |
| |
The DELOS Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries is committed to the promotion of digital library research and development in Europe. DELOS is an initiative funded by the European Commission's Information Society Technologies’ 5th Framework Programme (IST-FP5). Among its many objectives, DELOS seeks to provide a forum where researchers, practitioners, and representatives of interested application communities and industries can exchange ideas and experiences, train young researchers in the digital libraries field; contribute towards defining a European Union research policy in the digital libraries domain and promote international cooperation in the digital libraries research domain. |
| Metadata and Archival Description Registry and Analysis System (MADRAS) |
| |
MADRAS is being developed by the Description Cross Domain Group. The goals of the group are to write guidelines for the development of standards for the intellectual control of the records from the moment of their creation throughout their appraisal and preservation, including standards directed to the records creators and standards directed to records preservers. |
| InterPARES 2 Symposium, Victoria, British Columbia |
| |
This InterPARES 2 Symposium, held Friday, February 23, 2007, at the University of Victoria, presented the findings of the InterPARES 2 Project to an audience of archivists, records managers, librarians and other information specialists from across Canada. The event was co-sponsored by the British Columbia Corporate Information Management Branch, Office of the Chief Information Officer, BC Government, University of Victoria Libraries, and the InterPARES 2 Project. |
| Memory of the World Programme |
| |
A UNESCO programme for the preservation and dissemination of valuable archive holdings and library collections worldwide. |
| Long-Term Records Management (LongRec) Project |
| |
A joint-Industry project in Norway aimed at developing strategies for the long-term preservation of reliable and trustworthy digital documents, with an emphasis on the preservation of their semantic information and context for efficient long-term retrieval, use and understanding. |
