CURATEcamp DLF 2012 Discussion Ideas

Agenda

Contribution and Ingest: Lowering Barriers

• just-in-case vs. just-in-time metadata
• what's "good enough": department, creator, hit send?
• how can we get digital stuff with the minimum amount of effort?
• recap of C4L 2011 discussion: why does ingest suck?
  • set up a pre-ingest staging area for review to make sure content is "repository worthy"
  • promise of permanence sets up a barrier (forever is intimidating)
  • perception that ingest makes objects less discoverable

Fighting the "One Tool to Rule Them All" Mindset

Cylinders of Excellence: living with multiple systems (interoperability, one system to rule them all?) combatting "one tool" philosophy (three tools: DAMS for simple items, repo for authorial/ETD workflow, GIS data somethingsomethin'), how not to shoehorn everything (platform/layers vs. monolithic) - especially issues with multiple workflows - 18

• project is done, now what? - proving value of investment - ROI ALSO funding models for repository/curation services (grants, etc.)- 18

• long-term preservation of complex objects (16)

• UI/UX development and reuse (how to do this, formal roles, community development)- usage of curation tools by users (vs. curators) - 16

• bootstrapping repository services (getting started with minimal resources) curation & preservation in the wild (sans repo) - 15

• Has the digital realm affected our idea of what digital preservation means? selection (e.g. of content types) for digital preservation -

are we saving too much? who decides? - 15

• Gather round for demos at 3:30 - 25ish
  • data model from UCSD (17)

• Wrap-up session: community-building: future of CURATEcamp, sustainability - 19
