Please join us! On November 16, 2007, the 2006-2007 research fellows of the
National Historic Publications and Records Commission-funded Electronic
Records Research Fellowships program (http://ils.unc.edu/nhprcfellows) will
present the results of their research projects at a symposium to be held at
the Wilson Library on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
campus.
We have a change in keynote speakers. In fact, we now have two! Reagan Moore
& Richard Marciano, from the San Diego Supercomputing Center will speak on
"The Evolution of Data Curation: Towards Policy-driven Collection
Management".
Abstract:
---------
Preservation can be thought of as communication with the future. We know
that the future will use new storage systems, new representation
information, and provide new services. Preservation is also the management
of communication from the past. We want to make assertions about
authenticity, integrity, and chain of custody based on prior management
policies. Policy-driven collection management such as the integrated
Rule-based Data system (iRODS) addresses both challenges. The iRODS data
system implements data curation processes as micro-services that can be
migrated to new storage systems over time. iRODS implements management
policies as rules that control the execution of the micro-services. The
rule system can be updated dynamically, can be tuned to express each
community's management policies, and enforces periodic validations of
assertions about collection properties.

William Wallach from the Bentley Library at the University of Michigan will
discuss the Research Fellowship Program for the Study of Modern Archives
(RFPSMA), administered by the Bentley Historical Library of the University
of Michigan and supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, 1983-1998, and
Joan Krizack from Northeastern University will speak about the NHPRC
Electronic Records Research Fellowships when they were centered in Boston,
2001-2004. Dr. Paul Conway will conclude the symposium with an analysis of
the accomplishments of the Fellows and the program from 2004-2006 while it
has been hosted at SILS.
There is no fee for this symposium but it would help us estimate the food
for breaks if attendees would register online at
