Feel free to use this space to share ideas for discussion at CURATEcamp 2011.


Topic you are interested in (Your name): A sentence or three about your topic.

Faculty outreach (Joan Starr): How do we interest our researchers in using all these great tools early in the research life cycle? How do we get the word out? What is the best way to do? (What works, what doesn't?) Are there approach differences between domains/disciplines?

Data management plan online tool (Perry Willett): A consortium of organizations is building the DMPTool to help researchers create and edit data management plans. We will be able to demo the beta version during CurateCamp.

LOD-LAM (Rachel Frick) discuss recent conversations, activities, use cases, ideas for collaboration.

Open Provenance (Robert McDonald) discuss uses of the open provenance model specification and related software tools for data curation. Look at automated models for large-data set provenance collection and enrichment. Open Provenance

Negotiating terminology and practice between the archives and digital curation communities (Mark Matienzo): We've got similar concepts, but there's often a gap of understanding that needs to be addressed. For example, when is "accessioning" the same thing as "ingest", vs. when is it not?

Practical Steps for the Underfunded (Jody DeRidder): Many underfunded cultural heritage institutions can't afford programmers and are understandably daunted by the developing standards. What are the simplest, most straightforward steps that any institution can take to give their digital content hope of long-term access?

Representing filesystems in RDF and beyond (Mark Matienzo): How do we represent information about transferred filesystems (or filesystems containing transferred records assets) that allows us to retain that information going forward, especially if we know that further restructuring or arrangement is imminent?

Identifying and Administering Access Restrictions (Courtney Mumma): During description and at the point of reference, how do we identify records in any given set that have donor, copyright or privacy restrictions? In a large record group (at presumably any level of archival description) what is the best way to protect our donors, third parties and private citizens while still providing as much access as possible?

Collaboration Brainstorm (Erin O'Meara): I would like to hear about existing or desired collaboration in this area. How do institutions working on digital curation activities/initiatives collaborate more informally than a large grant? What activities do you see most-suited for this type of collaboration? How can we enable it?
