Feel free to use this space to share ideas for discussion at CURATEcamp 2012.
Topic you are interested in (Your name): A sentence or three about your topic.
- Embedded Metadata (Cristela Garcia-Spitz): Digital objects are now living on the web, often with little or no associated metadata within the content file. Sometimes it is only a filename that travels with the object. What can be done to embedded the rich metadata (title, date, institution, rights, etc.) into the object (image, text, audiovisual, data sets)?
- Legacy File Identification/Appraisal (Matthew McKinley): My topic comes in two parts: 1. Files older than 8-10 years are often initially inaccessible for a variety of reasons--outdated/unsupported creating software, unreliable extensions/naming, lack of technical metadata--and thus are often not identified or mis-identified by identification/characterization software such as JHOVE, DROID, Tikka etc. What can be done to improve their identification? 2. Once identified, is there a way for these files to be viewed/appraised/searched by "non-techie" archivists without proprietary software (FTK) or complex CLI manipulation (AFFLib)?
- Email Archives (SusanGray Page): How do we make email archives more user-friendly? Keyword searching is a limited entry point for someone who is more interested in browsing collections. What kinds of tools are available for displaying thousands of emails in a format that goes beyond keyword search results?
- Digital Archives Workflows (Erin O'Meara): A discussion on current workflows used for acquiring, processing, preserving and providing access to digital archives. What tools are you using? What challenges have you faced? What do you need (e.g. software, hardware, knowledge)?
